Note written 2026-09-15; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Aggelos is a 2D action-adventure with pixel-art aesthetics and Metroidvania-lite exploration, published by PQube in 2018.

Aggelos maintains modest but steady residuals ($309-$463/mo) on a mid-sized installed base, fueled by positive word-of-mouth (77% positive) and consistent review flow. However, the game is hamstrung by well-documented friction points (controller support, missing cloud saves) that depress both retention and repeat purchases. A lightweight technical patch addressing these two issues could unlock higher engagement without major investment; alternatively, the title is a stable catalog hold for patient publishers seeking low-maintenance revenue. Most realistic play: revival.

  • Risk: Controller support is partially broken and cloud saves are absent, creating documented friction that depresses player retention and review sentiment.
  • Risk: Pixel-art 2D action is crowded; peak concurrent players have fallen to single digits, suggesting minimal organic discovery and reliance on legacy ownership.
  • Risk: Developer (Storybird Games) appears inactive on Steam; all post-launch support appears to have halted, creating uncertainty about code maintainability.
