By So, would you consider it?
Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2 last week, and while some developers appear to have already secured their backing, other studios are still evaluating whether to launch specific titles on the successor to the Switch.
One of these developers is Moon Studios. The CEO, Thomas Mahler, inquired on social media if fans of the studio (and Ori games and Nintendo systems) would be interested in the team’s new release, No Rest for the Wicked on Switch 2.
If you’re not familiar with this game, it was launched in early access on Steam last April, received “mostly positive” user reviews, and is characterized as a “visceral precision Action RPG” aiming to revolutionize the genre. Here’s the narrative, and you can also watch the trailer below:
The year is 841 – King Harol has perished. As news of his demise spreads throughout the realm, the crown is passed to his arrogant, yet untested son, Magnus.
Worse still, the Pestilence, an ancient curse unseen for a millennium, has returned. It sweeps across the land, tainting everything and everyone it touches. Madrigal Seline, a fiercely ambitious figure within the church, views the return of the Pestilence as a chance to prove herself in the eyes of her deity.
These forces gather in the isolated Isola Sacra, where rebel factions and the local government vie for control amidst the island’s decaying ruins.
You will be a Cerim – part of a group of mystical holy warriors endowed with formidable powers and committed to vanquishing the Pestilence at all costs. However, the task will become increasingly challenging as you become embroiled in the struggles of the people and the vast political turmoil of this downtrodden region. Chaos will tug you in multiple directions as you strive to cleanse the land of evil and determine the kingdom’s destiny.
While this might seem like a clear “yes, definitely pursue it” after the sales achievements of the Switch, developing games has become increasingly pricey (and time-consuming) in recent years, with failures leading to the closure of studios. Hence, it’s prudent to assess the market before making commitments.
The eShop may be more crowded than ever, making it difficult – even for well-known third-party and indie titles to stand out.
