Serenity Forge and This I Dreamt have officially released Long Gone Days, their highly anticipated narrative-driven, anti-war RPG, on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week.
This launch marks a significant milestone for the indie studio, bringing their critically acclaimed title to a wider audience on Nintendo’s flagship hybrid console. Long Gone Days offers players a uniquely immersive experience, delving into the complexities of war and human connection.
The game follows Rourke, a skilled sniper, as he navigates a world plagued by conflict and moral ambiguity.
Known for its mature storytelling and thought-provoking themes, Long Gone Days challenges traditional RPG conventions by focusing on the psychological and social impacts of warfare rather than glorifying combat. Throughout the game, players will face real-world obstacles, such as navigating a landscape filled with intricate language barriers and building relationships with a diverse cast of characters.
Every player decision carries weight, often impacting the narrative and the fate of those encountered along the way.
The developers have described these language and communication challenges as central to the game’s narrative depth, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding between characters from different backgrounds. In a statement released alongside the launch trailer, the development team shared that Long Gone Days aims to offer more than just conventional RPG gameplay.
"Every action the player takes has lasting consequences, shaping the story and the world around them," they explained, highlighting the significance of choice and consequence at the heart of the experience. The gameplay features a blend of narrative-driven exploration and strategy-infused, turn-based combat.
As Rourke, players can strategically choose whether to engage enemies from a distance or up close, with the ability to target specific enemy body parts in combat.
This approach not only adds a layer of tactical depth but also presents non-lethal solutions for resolving conflicts, staying true to the game’s anti-war message. Long Gone Days made its debut on PC platforms before arriving on Nintendo Switch, where it is now available as a digital download via the eShop.
The Switch release introduces the game to millions of new players, offering convenient on-the-go access to Long Gone Days’ poignant storytelling and engaging gameplay. For those seeking a powerful RPG experience that explores the realities of war while encouraging empathy and understanding, Long Gone Days stands out as a noteworthy addition to the Nintendo Switch library.
Players can watch the official launch trailer and purchase the game now on the Switch eShop.
