Battle Suit Aces Launches on Nintendo Switch eShop October 7: Trinket Studios Unveils Anime-Inspired Card RPG

Trinket Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the indie favorite Battle Chef Brigade, is set to launch its latest title, Battle Suit Aces, on the Nintendo Switch eShop on October 7.

The upcoming release blends old-school mech anime aesthetics with robust card-based RPG combat, offering a novel twist for fans of both genres. Building on the visual style and creative gameplay that made Battle Chef Brigade popular on the Nintendo Switch eShop since its 2017 release, Battle Suit Aces further showcases Trinket Studios’ commitment to distinctive, genre-blending experiences.

This sci-fi RPG invites players to assemble a diverse crew of space explorers, embark on missions across the stars, and hunt for powerful 'Relic Suits'—towering mechs central to its universe. Battle Suit Aces distinguishes itself with its deep strategic card combat system.

Players organize a frontline of specialized mech pilots, each equipped with unique abilities and personal objectives.

The card mechanics enable players to rotate or swap cards to maximize tactical advantage, reflecting rich gameplay depth and a high potential for creative strategies.

As players advance, they expand their decks with new characters, unlocking further tactical possibilities and anime-inspired heroes. Interwoven with the game’s action-driven objectives is an engaging story told through a visual novel format.

Players can deepen bonds with their team by sharing meals or interacting in communal hubs between missions, echoing social simulation elements found in genre favorites like Persona.

The game’s narrative aims to balance high-stakes exploration with personal moments, enticing both RPG and narrative-driven game enthusiasts. Battle Suit Aces will be available digitally on the North American Nintendo eShop for $24.99 at launch.

Its release comes at a busy time for the Nintendo Switch, but its unique mix of card combat, mech customization, and anime styling positions it as a standout indie.

The title also marks another significant entry for Trinket Studios, further establishing the developer’s reputation for innovative Nintendo Switch games. With anticipation building ahead of its October 7 debut, Battle Suit Aces offers Nintendo Switch players a fresh alternative in the crowded eShop marketplace.

Stay tuned for further updates and in-depth reviews as release day approaches.
