Day of the Shell Announced for Nintendo Switch: Tactical Roguelite Set for Q3 2025 Launch

Day of the Shell Announced for Nintendo Switch: Tactical Roguelite Set for Q3 2025 Launch In a collaborative announcement today, Goblinz Publishing, Entalto Publishing, and developer Duper Games confirmed that Day of the Shell, their highly anticipated tactical roguelite, is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch in the third quarter of 2025.

The game, which adds a fresh twist to the tactical roguelite genre, is poised to broaden its reach on the popular hybrid platform when it arrives in the Nintendo eShop next year. Day of the Shell transports players to a world fractured and submerged in the aftermath of the gods’ wrath.

As one of the few survivors, gamers take on the role of a solitary monster huntress charting a desperate voyage across remote islands.

Equipped with nothing but hope and a revolver, each journey presents a dynamic struggle to both confront and placate the retributive deities overseeing humanity’s decline. According to official materials, the gameplay in Day of the Shell emphasizes fast-paced tactical decisions, allowing each turn to be executed with a single click.

This innovative approach balances accessibility and depth, enabling both seasoned strategy fans and newcomers to enjoy a strategically robust yet intuitive experience.

"One Click, One Turn," the developers explain, encapsulates the seamless flow of play that differentiates Day of the Shell from other entries in the roguelite space. Key gameplay features include exploring a labyrinth of islands, each packed with monstrous adversaries and hidden treasures.

Players must overcome these challenges to unlock portals progressing deeper into the enigmatic archipelago—and ultimately, toward the heart of the islands where the shell itself awaits.

The huntress’s journey is not merely linear; by gathering and combining various Warden blessings, players can experiment with diverse strategy permutations, ensuring no two runs are identical. Crucially, the game integrates permanent progression mechanics, allowing players to return to their home island after every defeat.

Here, upgrades can be purchased, and strategies reassessed, lending Day of the Shell a sense of persistent growth emblematic of the roguelite tradition. Duper Games, known for their commitment to innovative gameplay experiences, is joined by reputable indie publishers Goblinz Publishing and Entalto Publishing in bringing Day of the Shell to Nintendo Switch.

This partnership continues a trend of robust indie support and tactical games on the Switch platform—a trend that has attracted both critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. A freshly-released trailer showcases the game’s evocative art direction and fast-paced tactical action, setting expectations for its 2025 launch.
