Curse Rounds Brings Roguelike Action to Nintendo Switch on August 14, 2025
Curse Rounds, the latest title from indie developers QUByte Interactive and Tentacles Interactive, is set to make its Nintendo Switch debut on August 14, 2025.
This new roguelike shooter, releasing exclusively as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop, promises fast-paced action where no two playthroughs are ever the same.
The heart of Curse Rounds lies in its unpredictable, randomly generated rounds.
Players must survive waves of enemies, making split-second decisions while wielding their "pistolflash"—the game’s signature mechanic—across dynamic, ever-changing arenas.
Adding an extra layer of strategy and replayability, each completed room requires players to select a curse from a pool of over 60 curse cards.
Each curse modifies gameplay, introducing new challenges or twists, and stacking these effects means every session presents unique obstacles and opportunities.
Key gameplay features include:
- Encounters with bosses described as "big, huge, giants and powerful," offering intense battle sequences.
- A diverse arsenal allowing players to "kill all your enemies with a variety of amazing shots."
- Thirty distinctly designed enemy types, each with their own behaviors and attack patterns, ensuring gameplay remains fresh and unpredictable from start to finish.
In an official statement, QUByte Interactive highlighted the game’s replay value and variety: "Curse Rounds is designed so that no two runs feel the same.
With a rapidly growing pool of curse cards and the unpredictability of enemy combinations, the player experience constantly evolves."
Priced at $4.99 USD, Curse Rounds is positioned as an accessible indie addition to the Nintendo Switch library.
Its arrival continues both QUByte Interactive and Tentacles Interactive’s track record of delivering unique indie experiences to Nintendo platforms, building on their commitment to supporting innovative eShop releases.
A release date trailer has been published, providing fans with a firsthand look at the game’s vibrant visual style and frenzied combat sequences.
Nintendo Switch players can look forward to challenging their skills and reflexes when Curse Rounds launches worldwide on August 14, 2025.
