© 7 Raven StudiosThe side-scrolling ‘Metroidvania’ is a game style that is very well controlled on the Nintendo Switch, which is especially useful because Konami doesn’t seem interested in making such games. Another to join the ranks soon, on April 23, is The Skylia Prophecy by 7 Raven Studios.
This was initially confirmed in a trailer with a March 30 release date that passed us by, but it looks like it could turn into a solid game.
You’re on a mission to overcome an evil force, which is often the turn of events, but it also promises RPG elements and various side missions to flesh out the experience. Plus, the developers are keen to pitch that the game can present a serious challenge, for those looking to grind their teeth and crush Joy-Cons while playing.
As always, the challenge for titles like this is to live up to high-profile equivalents that dominate the eShop landscape, but it certainly looks like it could be fun.
Is this on your radar?
