News Dracula, King Arthur And The Wizard Of Oz's Dorothy All Star In This Bookish Metroidvania
Bookbound Brigade
Launching on Nintendo Switch later this month is Bookbound Brigade, a side-scrolling action-platformer starring a cast of historical figures both real and fictional. Described as a "literary Metroidvania", Bookbound Brigade has you taking charge of a team which includes the likes of King Arthur, The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy Gale,...
About The Game
Bookbound Brigade is a new take on the established Metroidvania genre where classic stories and well-known characters get the video game treatment, and where the player gets to lead a colorful bunch of real and fictional heroes through a 2D side-scrolling platform-adventure in a quest to battle overwhelming hordes of monsters and bring order back to the literary world.
KEY FEATURES:
- Explore, fight, backtrack, grow your skills and tackle challenging quests and puzzles, as in any Metroidvania game worthy of its name, but get ready for a twist...
- There is no single hero in Bookbound Brigade: play as a party of unique characters, each with their own traits and skills, who move in formation and fight as one
- Expect to meet some familiar and less familiar faces, as all the characters, both playing and non-playing, are drawn from the pages of history and literature
- Enjoy distinctive hand-drawn visuals, inspired by book illustration from all time and straying far from the pixel art dominating the Metroidvania genre

Bookbound Brigade = € 19,99, 1GB; or physical €32 https://www.play-asia.com/bookbound-brigade-multi-language/13/70dcbt?ref=emrs_emcart. Metroidvania, i.e. stupid platformer. Hovering books offer portals to other platforms. The twist is that you control a clotted group of heroes that you can rearrange so solve platforms. Annoying switches and pixel precision. Garbage.
