Nintendo Switch has so many exciting new indie titles headed its way in the months to come, we're practically spoiled for choice. One such awesome looking title, Battle Princess Madelyn, is shaping up nicely with its Ghouls N' Ghosts-esque gameplay and developer Casual Bit Games has unveiled an exciting glimpse at the game's opening level.
If you've not heard of it before, Battle Princess Madelyn sees you guiding the titular knight in training (and her ghostly dog, Fritzy) as she attempts to save her kingdom and her family from the clutches of an evil wizard. With tons of levels to explore both as an arcade experience and as a long-form story, its looking jam-packed with things to battle.
Here's the video for your delectation. Have you been looking forward to Battle Princess Madelyn? Share your hot take on this indie platformer below...

ok so I'm first here. I'm looking forward to this on switch having played a bit on steam early access.
I'd rather they gave us a release date than a look at the first level. Really looking forward to this and Maldita Castilla.
Really looking forward to this one.
Love me some great platforming!
Looks great!
@OorWullie Rest assured, we'll have a date very soon. The Causal Bit team and ourselves are very much looking forward to you all getting your hands on the game!
@eripmav i was a bit on the fence with this one (I've got way more games than I could ever play already), but damn if this doesn't hit me dead center in the nostalgia cortex.... Looks very much like you've caught the essence of the old games- and I've got two daughters of my own who I hope will enjoy it as much as I'm thinking I will.
Didn't know I needed more Ghouls and Ghosts in my life till I watched that video. I'm mean the style is nearly exactly the same. Will have to pick this up at launch.
@therube I think Chris will be very pleased to read that, lovely words. Thank you:)
@spoony_tech - try the old pre-alpha on Steam. It'll give you an idea of feel. But Chris and the team have refined and honed the controls massively since then!
@therube Aww thanks!! I hope they enjoy it as well! <3
Animated cutscenes? This game looks great! Like a properly balanced Ghouls n Ghosts game.
I've been needing a new GnG. Now this is at the top of my list! (with Cursed Castilla as a close second).
Another thing-- why doesn't Capcom release a GnG Legacy collection? Everything from Ghosts and Goblins through Maximo would do...
Looks fantastic, definitely looking forward to this.
@Gorfvic20 I wish they would finish the Maximo storyline Maximo 3 got canned a long time ago. Sophia was never saved. Always bummed me out. Maddi and I were actually watching a video for Army of Zin last night and at the end I said "Maximo never gets to save Sophia." "Why? He beat the bad guy!" "Because the third story got canceled, it's never coming out." "That's Stupid, are they really old and cant make the games anymore?" she said. "Something like that..." I replied XD
I'm assuming the second one didn't sell well? I think they shut down the studio that was doing it. Might have also been the guys that made that terrible final fight game on xbox and ps2.. maybe Beatdown: Vengeance (or whatever it's called)?
I'd love to see Maximo remastered for ps4 and the 3rd part of the story completed.
I'm gonna die soooo much. Still getting this day 1 though.
I do like the looks of this. I'm keeping my eye on it and am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
This game looks like a nice catch! Can't wait to play it.
Hope is fun! So classical and yet so fresh... congrats!
glad i backed this.
one of the only games im looking forward to.
I want this so badly.
