An archeology-themed puzzle game? With co-op? What fresh hell is this? Well, this is Fossil Hunters, a cute and charming little romp that turns unearthing fossils and constructing dinosaur skeletons into an exercise in platforming and teamwork.
And, best of all, developer Reptoid Games has confirmed the game is getting a port for Nintendo Switch on 28th June. The full game will have 30 hand-crafted levels (no procedural generation here), four different relic hunters to choose from and all manner of secret items and treasure to uncover along the way. It's geared very much towards co-op gameplay, so if you're looking to dust off your Switch for a proper couchplay session, this is one to keep an eye on.
So what do you make of Fossil Hunters? Have you played it on PC already? We want to hear your thoughts below...

This is niche as hell, but me and my lady's for sure. Gameplay looks interesting, game looks polished for a Kickstarter.
Full co-op campaign and I'm in.
Reminds me of Spectrobes:Origins on Wii, but with all the fun taken out.

People need to stop looking into tumblr for their artists. It's like the same three styles that even make Teen Titans GO! Look acceptable.
Sounds cool! I initially was mistaking it for Fossil Fighters and was surprised Nintendo was focusing on that over other titles, but this is way more interesting
@Savino I think I saw it on Steam and PS4
@Savino I try to stay away from mobile games on consoles
Online co-op?
Um, archaeology is usually about past human activity, societies, technologies and myths/rituals etc using the material cultures they left behind. Dinosaurs come under paleontology.
I like the sound of an archeological game, though. There were some great French point-and-click history/archeology themed games in the 90s/2000s.
I read it as Fossil Fighters and got so excited...
