Asteristic Game Studio has officially confirmed that DekaDuck, its hand-drawn 2D action platformer, will release on Nintendo Switch.
The studio has not announced a specific launch date; it says the timing remains undecided and will be shared at a later time.
DekaDuck previously reached its funding goals on Kickstarter, where backers contributed $35,000 to support releases across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch.
DekaDuck places players in the role of a cybernetic bounty hunter who is part duck, part robot.
The game emphasizes fast-paced action and fluid movement: players chain dashes, shots, and teleport strikes through six distinct, hand-drawn planets, each packed with hidden areas and a major boss encounter.
The title also highlights a detachable hand mechanic that lets the protagonist grab, throw, swing, and manipulate enemies and objects across levels.
In a concise summary of the project, Asteristic described DekaDuck as a ‘‘fast-paced, hand-drawn 2D action platformer’’ featuring a ‘‘half-duck, half-robot bounty hunter’’ and six ‘‘secret-packed planets.’’ The studio reiterated that launch timing has not been set and will be announced later.
The Kickstarter campaign successfully raised $35,000 to expand the game to multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch.
Key confirmed features
- Fast, fluid combat that rewards aggression and precision
- Detachable hand mechanic for grabbing, throwing, and environmental interaction
- Ability to use enemy abilities and items as tools
- Weapons and chip upgrades that expand combat options
- Six fully hand-drawn worlds with unique enemies and boss fights
- Original soundtrack composed by Dominic Ninmark
Narrative context provided by Asteristic explains that DekaDuck’s origin begins when Dr. Less, his daughter Petite, and her pet duck are stranded on an uncharted planet.
The doctor rebuilds the duck into a cybernetic bounty hunter who now works the criminal underworld while staying ahead of the Intergalactic Police.
Asteristic has released a gameplay trailer alongside this announcement.
The studio also reiterated, in lighthearted copy accompanying its materials, that no animals were harmed in the making of the game.
As the developer prepares further rollout information, Nintendo Switch owners and eShop followers can expect additional details about release timing and platform-specific availability in future updates.
