JackQuest: Tale of the Sword, a fast-paced fantasy action platformer from Blowfish Studios and developer NX Games, is making its way to Switch in "late 2018".
In this game, players must explore the cavernous depths of Korg’s slime-ridden, labyrinthine lair. Inside, you'll be solving environmental puzzles, discovering power-ups, obtaining new abilities, collecting weapons, and challenging subterranean foes, including a handful of massive bosses who hope to completely ruin your day.
The game prides itself on its quick combat and steady progression, as players find themselves being guided through a single, interconnected world full of secrets, collectable gems, and hidden challenges that could well please even the most hardcore of completionists. The game's PR sets the scene rather nicely:
"One fateful night, when young Jack takes the beautiful Nara for a walk in the woods, his love is kidnapped by the villainous orc Korg. Forced to mount a rescue, Jack plunges into Korg’s underground base, where he happens upon a strange blade that becomes an unlikely ally."
The game will be launching across all major platforms simultaneously later this year, so make sure to keep an eye out for more as the months pass by.

Looks fun
If is not a rogue like games, I will buy this title.
Me Likey, will definitely keep my eye on this one.
His scarf looks abit annoyingly distracting, but hey
I like the overall look of the game. Let's see when we have more info on it
Looks interesting!
I can't help but notice the irony of the developer being called NX Games, though.
It's not Dead Cells...
Looks fun. I'll probably pick it up. A unique twist would have been if the sword itself was the main protagonist. Actually that's kinda what I thought it was, going by that title.
I don't think Treasurenauts is ever coming out, so this looks like it might scratch that itch.
Not so interested in the flood of action platformers coming out but this one looks great.
@ThatNyteDaez You just made me picture the sword jumping around with a scarf around its hilt, with the human wrapped in the scarf. The sword does a whip-like motion and the human smashes into walls, enemies, boxes and other nice things.
GOTY yet? xD
Baby Guts is kinda cute
Surely an instant buy. Look forward to see how much on 10 it gonna make on NL Website.
Another pixel platformer? Cause we don't have enough of those already, right?
@TossedLlama Someone gets it!
@Kinoen because we don't have enough 3d adventures already ...
Is the music in the game as good as the trailer?!
It looks better than most metroidvania clones but it doesn't seem to be groundbreaking in any way. Nothing we haven't seen a billion times.
Looks ok.
In the game we can also have facility to hit the different parts of the opponents to win this game and turn too. Some which in the school have job of the Study Clerk are also playing this game under the break time for half hour.
