Videocult, the indie developer behind the tactical stealth platformer Rain World is gauging interest for a new port, suggesting the twisted adventures of the slugcat could be making their way to Nintendo Switch in the future. It proved to be one of the most acclaimed indie games to hit PC and PS4 last year, so it would certainly feel right at home on Switch.
If you've not come across it before, Rain World casts you as a cross between a slug and cat, which has been separated from its family following a devastating flood. It's a stealth based affair, where you'll need to use guile and ingenuity to sneak up on your own prey while avoiding a bestiary of deadly predators. It's got a real 16-bit era vibe, and seems a perfect fit for Switch's growing family of 'Nindies'.
Have you played Rain World before? Do you think it would be a good match for Nintendo Switch. Tell all in the comments below...

Yes yes yes! This game NEEDS to be mobile. I love Rainworld!
Slugcats unite!
I think you should include a video in articles like these. It gives people an idea of what the game is about. Yes, people can search for themselves but it would be easier if they were included.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Right, I forgot other people may bit already know of the glory that is Rainworld. Hop to it NL!
Thanks @SLIGEACH_EIRE for the video, looks very odd and my type of game
@Bunkerneath It's gooood. I love the game, I've been playing it on PC close to when it first came out.
This game isnt for baby mode players, its for real jabronis that can handle the challenges you'd face.
@Ardisan Unless you play Monk mode. It's pretty easy.
I've actually never heard of this game.
It looks beautiful in motion. I'll be willing to add this game to my library.
Frankly, I'm tired of all these ports, I want more new and original games!
YES! YES! YES, I want Rain World on Switch!
@The_Pixel_King Me too! Pretty please.. I have it on steam and loving EVERYTHING about it. It's definitely not for everyone though..
I have about 2 hours in this game PC and still have no idea what’s going on. I’d buy it again on the Switch though.
YES! THIS WAS A TITLE I WAS SO HOPING TO BE ON SWITCH! I have the PS4 version and have loved playing it - its the only reason I bloody turn on the console anymore! But if it was ported to the Switch, I would 100% buy it again! Heck, bring it with the multiplayer as local or online and I'd pay double no problem!
Never heard of it, looks good, more choice of more games is better
Super difficult 2D platformer? I have fatigue.
However, this game looks freaking awesome. 100% in favour of this making the jump... I'd pick it up.
Looks interesting. Yes please.
