Nippon Ichi Software has officially introduced its latest RPG project, Curse Warrior, bringing an innovative twist to the dungeon crawler genre on the Nintendo Switch.
The game is set to release in Japan on March 26, 2026, marking another notable entry in the company’s long-standing catalog of creative and strategic role-playing games.
Curse Warrior places players in the heart of Echoes, a once-thriving town now overshadowed by attacks from monsters emerging from the centuries-old underground labyrinth known as Eclipse.
As an adventurer recruited by the town’s residents, players are tasked with delving deep into this twisting dungeon, completing requests, and ultimately confronting the monsters that threaten Echoes’ safety and prosperity. The defining feature of Curse Warrior is its unique curse mechanic.
As players traverse the mysterious corridors of Eclipse, their party members are subjected to a variety of curses, triggered by actions undertaken within the dungeon.
These curses dynamically alter party members’ abilities and behavior, requiring players to actively monitor and adapt their strategies in response to changing team dynamics.
Balancing risk and reward, players must manage the ongoing effects of curses to empower their party and push further into the labyrinth’s depths. According to information released by Nippon Ichi Software, the curse mechanic challenges players to make critical, moment-to-moment decisions, transforming each expedition into a tactical puzzle.
Every choice can impact the strength and survival of your party, offering a distinctly strategic approach to the dungeon crawler RPG formula.
This system adds depth to exploration and character development, providing players with countless ways to shape their journey through the dangerous maze beneath Echoes. Curse Warrior’s narrative is anchored in the town’s struggle for peace and security.
Inhabitants of Echoes, living in constant fear of the cursed labyrinth, have called upon adventurers to venture into Eclipse and clear it of its monstrous inhabitants.
Players will accept various requests and explore the dangers of Eclipse, driven by the hope of restoring tranquility to Echoes and uncovering treasures hidden within the cursed halls. This announcement further demonstrates Nippon Ichi Software’s commitment to delivering innovative RPG experiences to Nintendo Switch players.
The studio, recognized globally for its inventive gameplay and narrative depth, continues to expand its influence within the Nintendo Switch’s robust RPG lineup.
While no international release has been detailed yet, fans eagerly anticipate additional news, including potential reveals during upcoming Nintendo Direct events or updates via the eShop. Stay tuned for more detailed impressions and updates as Curse Warrior approaches its Japanese launch on March 26, 2026.
