Nicalis Family Friendly E3 2017
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 12th, in the year of our Lord
2017—Independent publisher/developer Nicalis, Inc. is revealing
upcoming console games during the annual Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3). The announcements are sure to please
fans of recent Nicalis neo-classics.
The company’s family friendly 2017 line-up includes Tiny
Barbarian DX (Nintendo Switch), and Ittle Dew 2+ (Nintendo
Switch).
• Inspired by heroic fantasy fiction, Tiny Barbarian DX is the
action-packed adventure of one Barbarian’s quest for vengeance.
Developer StarQuail Games has combined engaging 2D platform
action and combo-based hack-and-slash combat with retro-style
pixel art and a pulse-pounding chiptune soundtrack for Nintendo
Switch. The game offers two-player cooperative action,
unlockable game modes and multiple homages to classic 8- and
16-bit games in each of its four lengthy episodes.
• Sassy adventurer Ittle and her reluctant flying friend Tippsie
return in Ittle Dew 2+, an upgraded and expanded Nintendo Switch
version of the action/adventure puzzle game from developer
Ludosity. Stranded on a mysterious island and armed with a few
weapons as well as a magical map, our heroine explores the
three-dimensional landscape in search of valuable loot and the
eight scattered pieces of a raft that could be her ticket home.
