Heart & Slash on Switch
Madrid, Spain, December 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2017:
Nintendo Switch continues to garner huge hits for Christmas;
today it's Heart & Slash's turn, which arrives to Nintendo eShop
in digital version with the same features that delighted fans of
the Brawler and Roguelike genres on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation
4.
Parallel to the release of the Nintendo Switch version of the
game, the Steam version of Heart & Slash has been updated,
including its Kickstarter final stretch goal: Endless Dungeon
mode.
Put yourself in the "shell" of Heart, a robot that doesn't
function properly and struggles to maintain its identity against
standardization henchmen. Along the way he meets Slash, a
veteran of the dystopian world in which Heart & Slash takes
place. You'll have to try and get Slash's attention, but how to
do it will depend on the player. For every' challenge (every
chance to impress Slash) you'll have a couple of opportunities
that will end up defining the relationship between them and how
the story ends. Will you choose your independence, or will you
renounce to it in exchange for being loved? Or maybe you'll find
a balance between the two that will allow the relationship to
thrive?
71 missions, 135 pieces of equipment, 6 selectable characters
and 93 different enemies... with roguelike mechanics: random
generation of maps, items and enemies. Every game will be a
whole new adventure!
The main features of Heart & Slash include the following:
Fight using up to 75 different weapons and 60 different robot
body parts that will change the way the game goes.
Teleport, stop time, fly with a backpack, jump against the wall,
discover the weaknesses of your enemies... You can try thousands
of different combinations to achieve your goal, from almost
unimportant details to play back parts of the story to try to
change the result.
If you die, try again from the beginning. As with any good
roguelike, every time you start a new game, both the levels of
fighting and the items or weapons you collect will change. In
this way, a game will not be the same as the previous one, which
makes Heart&Slash not an easy game.
A unique artistic and visual style that will take you back to
classic games.
It offers a fast-paced and very dynamic gameplay system, with
almost no time to take a breath, thanks to its short and intense
levels.
The Endless Dungeon mode, exclusive to Steam's version of the
game for now, provides endless, randomly generated stages where
enemies level up as you advance.
International combo and score rankings.
The player will control Slash in this new mode.
The longer you survive, the stronger your enemies will be. The
enemies will also change their weapons and character type,
forcing the player to adapt.
As you progress, you will find new weapons and/or items that
will replenish your energy.
The Endless Dungeon mode will be available on PS4, Xbox One and
Nintendo Switch soon, via an update patch.
No word on a physical copy version of this game on this system at this time.
