The mobile and tablet game Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery was originally released in 2011 and is now making its way across to the Switch eShop at the end of this month on 30th November.
If you haven't heard about it before, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is described as an action adventure game with an emphasis on audiovisual gameplay. You'll traverse a mythic realm and use a sword to battle and evoke "sworcery" to solve mystical musical mysteries. Here's the PR description:
Sword & Sworcery is an album-meets-adventure chronicling the woeful errand of The Scythian. In Sword & Sworcery, players will wander in the woods, solve strange puzzles & occasionally battle beasties as they seek to re-unite The Trigon Trifecta. The game is set to an award-winning musical backdrop created by celebrated composer and wonderful human, Jim Guthrie.
Alongside the announcement, the team behind the game - Capybara and Superbrothers - have released a strange "gameplay-less" video. Take a look below:

Looking at this video of a nice forest with a vintage image filter and random voice clips playing in the background has certainly made me want to buy this game.

And it certainly is a pretty accurate representation of the type of look, feel, and self-indulgence that the game will serve you.
Played on phone and loved it. It’s absolutely a beautiful experience
This is a true little gem. I just wish it was a bit longer.

This should be called "Super Zelda Brothers" (everybody knows Zelda is the guy in the green tunic) especially with the triple Triforce ripoff.
One of the best games I’ve ever played on my phone. I think I’ll double dip for this one.
Thoroughly enjoyed this on mobile in 2011 (can't believe it's been 7 years?!). The soundtrack is awesome (its on Spotify if you fancy a listen - The Prettiest Weed is my favourite track by far). Its a short experience, but thoroughly enjoyable for all of it. I won't double dip, but if you have never played it, it's well worth a look.
@Pod This game is as pretentious as they come.

Indeed. Though for all the things it merely pretends to be, it also does manage to hit quite many beats just right. It's still a good ride.
I’m so on the fence with this one. Reading everyone’s praise for it, might be just enough of a push to do it. On the wishlist ya go!
One of the finest games to grace the app store, and comes highly recommended. I'll be playing this again for sure.
Fantastic game! looking forward to playing it again
Make more of these Superbrothers. Its called EP and there's only the one game? come on
I'm going to be the first comment of dissent and say that I didn't really enjoy this one like I thought I would. Atmosphere, visuals, and music/sound were great but the gameplay was fairly simplistic and the story predictable
