DICE’s first-person shooter Bad Company 2 and Vigil Games’ action-adventure Darksiders 2 are likely familiar to many Xbox owners. Chariot is a new title from Canadian developer Frima Games and part of the ID@Xbox program for independent, self-published games. It’s a 2D, local co-op platformer featuring a princess and her fiancé who are transporting the corpse of her father, the king, to its final resting place.
