Publishers Plug In Digital and Abiding Bridge, together with developer Slormite Studios, have announced that The Slormancer will be released on Nintendo Switch.
The announcement also confirmed a physical edition produced in partnership with Maximum Entertainment.
The game is described by its makers as a 2D action-RPG dungeon-crawler that combines pixel-art presentation with extensive loot and progression systems.
Overview
The Slormancer puts players in control of a band of outcasts fighting against hordes of enemies under the command of a figure known as The Slormancer.
The title offers three distinct playable classes — Knight, Huntress and Mage — each designed to support multiple playstyles through class-specific abilities, upgrades and passive trees.
Paraphrased announcement details
According to the release information from the team, players can expect “Mighty” Knights, “Fierce” Huntresses and “Mischievous” Mages that each unlock more than 200 unique abilities, upgrades and passives.
Every active ability reportedly has its own skill tree to enable bespoke builds, and each class includes three unique specializations for further customization.
The developers note a flexible progression model that allows players to switch between any unlocked skills, Slorm Reapers (unique weapons) and items on the fly, even across classes.
