Perhaps you remember Tallowmere from its release on the Wii U eShop last year; we really liked it in our review. If you missed it, however, then we have some great news for you. Teyon will be taking on publishing duties this time and bringing Chris McFarland's indie game to the Switch eShop on 9th November, priced at $6.99USD / €6.99.
The challenge is to see how far you can get into the dungeons. Each randomly-generated room gets bigger, harder, and more rewarding the further you go. You hunt for the key in each room - or die trying - with lots of enemies, bosses and treasure chests to discover. There are also various new weapons and armour ranging from Basic to Otherworldly. It aims to get you into the 'one more go' mentality, which it certainly did for us on Wii U.
Let us know if you will be picking up this lovely game on the Switch next week.

7€ seems quite fair to me, maybe I'll give it a try!
I actually know this guy. Just spoke to him about the porting job. Says it went well.
Hey, there are some benefits to being in a development community right?
Looks pretty cool. I'll give this a go. I'm really hoping for Vagante to come to the Switch. Has anyone played that?
I have roguelike fatigue.
Roguelike ..hmm... I am playing games to have fun, not to be stressed out.
I'm not a big fan of rogue like games but guys this is a brilliant and fun addictive game.
I will buy again as I already have it on my ipad
Well, one thing's for sure. The Roguelike genre isn't going to succumb to permadeath anytime soon.
Not sure on this one. I'll probably throw it on my watch list but dunno if I'll ever get it.
Although the visuals are pretty atrocious, Tallowmere is a solid game and a steal for seven bucks. I enjoyed it thoroughly on the Wii U, especially in co-op. I don’t think I’ll be double-dipping, but if McFarland releases new content for it, I’ll definitely snag it.
I have it on iPad and Wii U. It’s an addictive and fun little game. Highly recommended for the price. I probably got a good 20 hours out of it before the repetition set in
Oh look, a roguelike
Wait
No
It's a roguelite at best.
Between issac, flame in flood, 8bitdungeon, kingdom new lands...I’m rogueliked out for a bit.
Honestly had an absolute blast with it on WiiU, especially with friends.
My only complaint is that the bosses don't repeat. I hope they address that-- it gets too easy at some points down the line without powered up baddies.
@Drac_Mazoku @kokjopan Heh, under normal circumstances, this would be one more to the overstocked roguelike genre but I suggest reading the review so you can add this to your to buy list or at least get informed as this rouge-like is different and accessable for all players.
"Roguelike"....nope
I thought it was a fun game but hated the art. The art felt totally generic and kind of killed the experience for me.
