Among other game reveals, Rising Star Games has announced an official partnership with Portuguese-based Amplify Creations to publish the Zelda-like upcoming third-person action-RPG Decay Of Logos on Nintendo Switch. If you've never heard of it before, the game tasks you with exploring a vast, interconnected world filled with secrets to uncover and items to collect. Being an action-RPG, there's plenty of combat and your usual level up mechanics.
Here's an official synopsis straight from the developer:
Decay of Logos weaves a tale of a girl and her elk companion, who meet after her village is destroyed by one of the King’s sons. Battered and oblivious of the culprit behind the attack, the girl will not rest until she has her revenge. During her quest she will unveil secrets about the King and his sons, slowly realizing that all is not what it seems.
We will bring you more news about this one as they happen. Did the reveal trailer tickle your fancy? Let us know in the comments below...

This looks very promising! I'll be keeping my eye on this, we need more large scale indie games like this on Switch!
Wow seems pretty cool. I will definitely check this one out more closer to it's release.
Another promising looking game that isn't a port. Rising Star games weren't on my radar before, but they are now. From a look at their website I actually have one of their published games, Lumo. They also have Steamworld Dig 2 on their site, I assume that's just for the physical version?
More indie gahbage
All these type of games are going to feel like cheap, pale imitations compared to the legendary BOTW.
Saw this yesterday, didn't realize it was also coming to Switch.
This looks good, it looks like Twilight Princess and... well nothing really, it just looks like TP. Maybe a little Darksiders.
Could be good. Hopefully not one of those Rime experiences. I feel like we all need to be holding our breaths on each every 3rd party Switch port or multiplat. I'm not worried about Nintendo. And so far it is much better than Wii U, which basically got cancelations. 😛
I worry about the game's combat system since in the trailer we see the character get destroyed 6 times while trying to dodge. Looks kinda cool in spite of that though.
@LUIGITORNADO Change your username to GAHBAGETORNADO
This looks interesting. I love Zelda and action/adventure games so I hope it’s good.
I'm definitely interested in this one.
In a world filled with 8-bit and 16-bit Zelda clones one studio takes it upon themselves to clone a more recent Zelda game.
They have the courage, but do they have the wisdom and power?
Decay of Logos, coming this Fall to a Nintendo Switch near you!
PS. I initially read that title as "Decay of LEGOs".
@LUIGITORNADO Yep we can put this in the gahbage bin along with other crappy amateur indie games like Rocket League, Outlast 1&2,Pinball FX3, Layers of Fear etc...
@SmaggTheSmug That'd be the most depressing game ever made.
This looks really good, will definately pick it up
@Alikan It looks like dodging doesn't incorporate invincibility frames like Dark Souls does. You can see that each time the player dodges they aren't actually moving out of range of the attack and that's why they get hit. Makes sense to me.
"Zelda-esque" ...the term that never fails to make me shudder!
Hope it'll be good - but can't help feeling that lavishing such a description on a game is just setting it up for a fall...
The world looks very bland. Playing this would make me want to shut it off and go re-visit Hyrule.
I like the vibrant colors, but I'm skeptical how well this'll turn out. I'll keep my eye on it, though.
"Zelda-esque Decay of Logos"
It's funnier when you realize Breath of the Wild has a decaying logo.
Seems like it may be good, so I might get it. But yeah the way it looks in some way is a bit of a let down for me.
@LUIGITORNADO sorry, i have to disagree. while, we have some worst looking indie games out on switch. there are some really good ones on switch too. this one might be it too.
looks like it could be fun. need to find something else kind burn off on BOTW, anyways. (not that it's bad.)
@Not_Soos Top-tier comment.
cool trailer. But that's how I felt bout Mulaka when that was first announced for switch, which did not meet my expectations. This leaves me feeling similar.
Also from my perspective, If this article didn't tell me this was a Zelda style game I wouldn't have immediately thought that. Especially when there seemed to be no Puzzle displayed in that trailer...unless I missed it.
Looks nice so far
First we got Ittle Dew 2 (plus others) for our aLttP-clone fix; now we're seeing some OoT/BotW-clone action — good stuff, good stuff.
Looks neat.
Pretty convincing. Like all the boss fights.
Looks like Another indie clone - Animation looks horrid. This is like claiming an Impala is BMW-esque because it has 4 doors.
Only on the Switch do people try to elevate this type of nonsense to an actual worthwhile release. This is the stuff you buy on a Steam winter sale for 5.99 and never actually play.
Looks pretty interesting, if a bit generic. It is a bold risk to try to compete with the likes of Zelda etc. This kind of slow-paced 3D adventure game has to be VERY good to sustain my interest when I could be playing, say, The Witcher 3. 2D indie games are the ones I'm more likely to pick up on a whim.
@OorWullie I could be wrong on this one, but I think both Image & Form (steamworld dig) and Rising Star have the same majority owner (Bergsala). I do belive Zoink games are in there as well, which to some extent could explain the upcoming merging of them and Image & form.
The game looks like it could be fun if it runs well on the Switch!
I may be the only guy in the world who wasn't blown away by Botw. Idk maybe it was the hype that I'd been accumulating after waiting 6 years and buying a Wii U in 2014 SOLELY for it that killed it for me.
Either way, Twilight Princess is still my fave, and I'm curious about this title too. Will definitely keep it on my radar
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I never played skyrim(oblivion was great) and once it released on switch, I picked it up. Botw totally ruined me for most games. The combat was just perfect. I hope dark souls isn’t ruined as well, that was my fav game of last gen.
And this does look decent, but yea, botw was just amazing.
This looks very bland and the animations need some serious work before they're anywhere near ready for release.
The character also seems boring and the graphics look more like something I'd have thought looked decent 10 years ago.
@OorWullie The game is a port. People just misuse the term
Could be good but looks like a poor man’s breath of the wild, hope it turns out well.
@Mintendo Cheers for the info, I didn't know that.
Probably gonna be worse than botw
The combat looks interesting, It will battle if its taking on BoTW but if this is combat focused then I'll be keeping an eye on it
@Agramonte
And only on Nintendo fansite comment sections do people try to constantly belittle and insult fans for what they're interested in
Looks very Witcher-ry.
Looks kinda interesting so fingers crossed the reviews are good cos I'll need a good game or two to get me through the cold Scottish winter
Sounds interesting.
Combat looks fun. I love that it looks to feature many different boss fights and enemy types. Looks like if the Witcher 3 gameplay melded with Breath of the Wild graphics
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Lmao, fanboy trash.
It has my interest although I don't really get the Zelda comparison from the trailer.
Doesn't look that strong to be honest.
