Battle Suit Aces Announced for Nintendo Switch: Release Date, Gameplay, and Features Revealed

Trinket Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the award-winning Battle Chef Brigade, has officially announced that Battle Suit Aces will launch on Nintendo Switch on October 7, 2025.

This new title continues Trinket Studios’ tradition of blending inventive gameplay with distinctive art and storytelling, bringing a fresh take on the card-battling RPG genre to Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Battle Suit Aces will be available digitally through the Nintendo eShop, marking a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch indie lineup in 2025. In Battle Suit Aces, players take command of the USS Zephyr, joining Captain Heathcliff and a diverse crew on an epic quest across the galaxy.

The team’s mission: to locate the legendary Relic Suits, ancient alien superweapons capable of turning the tide in their struggle against monstrous threats.

Set in a universe inspired by classic mecha anime, players will experience a heartfelt journey filled with danger, camaraderie, and classic sci-fi humor. The gameplay of Battle Suit Aces centers on strategic 5 vs 5 card battles, where players carefully select and deploy pilots to the Battle Line each turn.

Pilots can shield the ship, launch attacks against invading monsters, or rotate in for special tactical advantages.

Each pilot, from the dynamic Daciana to the analytical Yan, features unique abilities that encourage creative synergy and team composition. As players explore the reaches of space, they can recruit and upgrade a wide range of pilots from five specialist Factions.

These factions include space pirates, paranormal investigators, and starball athletes, each bringing distinct strategies and personalities to the deck.

Building and customizing your mecha card deck is a core element of Battle Suit Aces, allowing deep replayability and player-driven progression.

Over 50 fully-voiced characters contribute to the story, further enhancing the narrative depth and emotional investment. Between intense missions, players have the opportunity to interact with their crew aboard the bustling USS Zephyr.

Activities such as dining with crewmates, practicing card combinations in the Sim Chamber, crafting helpful Drones, and upgrading both cards and the ship provide additional layers of engagement and strategy.

Player choice is central to the adventure, with decisions affecting relationships, story progression, and the eventual outcome of the galactic journey. Trinket Studios has emphasized the importance of personalization and choice, noting that the player’s path is molded by the factions they align with, the pilots they befriend, and the dialogue options they select.

Notable for its charming, anime-inspired visuals and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack, Battle Suit Aces aims to offer an immersive and emotionally resonant experience for longtime fans of tactical RPGs and new players alike. Battle Suit Aces represents Trinket Studios’ continued commitment to delivering innovative, story-rich experiences within the indie gaming sphere.

With its upcoming Nintendo Switch release, players can look forward to a thoughtful, stylish adventure that builds on the studio’s celebrated legacy.

More details, including a first-look trailer, are now available via the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Direct updates.
