Kentum Announced for Nintendo Switch: Tlon Industries Unveils 2D Craftervania Adventure
Kentum, the much-anticipated 2D craftervania adventure, is officially making its way to the Nintendo Switch in 2025, as confirmed by V Publishing and developer Tlon Industries.
Showcased with a fresh gameplay trailer, Kentum promises to bring a rich blend of crafting, exploration, and survival mechanics to Nintendo's popular hybrid platform.
Developed by the visionary team at Tlon Industries, with a proven track record for innovative design, Kentum positions players in a post-apocalyptic setting where survival depends on creativity and resourcefulness.
Players take on the role of Kent, a clone navigating the remnants of a lost civilization.
Your companion throughout this journey is ORB, a pragmatic robot partner offering guidance and witty interactions as you traverse an expansive, ever-changing world.
The gameplay in Kentum centers on exploration, scanning, and cataloguing the diverse flora, fauna, and minerals found across a procedurally generated landscape.
Every creature, plant, and resource can be discovered, analyzed, and utilized as you expand your knowledge and convert discoveries into practical tools and structures.
The core crafting system allows Kent to build everything from simple shelters and functional farms to fully automated factories, elevating the stakes and complexity with each progression.
Survival remains a central theme, even though the protagonist is a clone who can be revived endlessly.
Resource management is vital; players must gather ingredients, hunt for sustenance, and experiment with recipes to ensure consistent nourishment.
Constructing farms and vivariums becomes essential for long-term survival, while frequent deaths, though never final, introduce setbacks the player will want to avoid.
One of Kentum’s standout features is its focus on home base customization.
Players can expand and automate their home base, optimizing systems to generate resources even while away exploring.
Traversing the world is equally varied and engaging, with mobility tools like hoverboards, hang gliders, and grappling hooks enabling swift movement through vibrant jungles and ruins alike.
The partnership between V Publishing and Tlon Industries aims to deliver a deeply engaging experience for Nintendo Switch fans, building on the platform’s strengths of portability and community.
While an exact release date has yet to be confirmed, Kentum is poised to become a notable entry in the eShop's ever-expanding catalog in 2025.
With its unique blend of adventure, survival, and automated crafting, Kentum is set to captivate players looking for their next immersive experience on Nintendo Switch.
