CIRCLE Entertainment has announced that Solstice Chronicles: MIA, developed by Ironward, will be arriving on Switch later this year.
The game combines its intense, top-down shooter action with strategic play, tasking players with making the best use of their accompanying drone. Should you scavenge for supplies, or push forward to face the enemy? You'll need to make these decisions on the fly as you fight.
If this looks like it might be up your street, take a look at the official PR game description and features below:

"Our marine finds themselves on Mars as a result of Earth being overrun by the STROL virus. Despite humans colonising Mars and with corporations naturally taking over, it is a violent and dangerous planet. Corporations and insurgents both race to find a cure for the STROL virus in order to reclaim Earth. As the virus spreads in the colonies, creating hideous monsters in the process, the battle for the cure is more important than ever!
Features:
- Fluid and exciting twin-stick combat against fiendish foes on Mars.
- Key tactical decisions to be made with your accompanying drone.
- A variety of weapons, each with fantastic effects for killing enemies.
- Develop your skills in Assault, Demolition, Hellfire or Terminator classes – find the style that suits you best!
- Re-designed for Nintendo Switch, including local co-op to share the battle!
We don't have a confirmed release date for the game just yet (the trailer above was for the game's launch on PC last year), but we'll make sure to keep an eye out over the following weeks for more news.
Do you like the look of this one?

Nice trailer. Looking forward to this
woah this looks really good...
Another one that looks great:) i need to find a way to keep myself posted on all the gaming stuff that interests me. I've lost count on what to keep an eye on!
@erv There's a great website for that
Interesting, I actually never heard of this before. The Steam review are rather mixed though, which makes me kinda cautious. Looking forward to a review of the Switch version.
Reminds me of Alien Breed from Team17. I loved that style of gameplay so may give this a go.
It reminds of Alienation in PS4.
@LaxeybobbKy
that was a great game man.
i dont talk about the 2010 remake on xbox360.
realy great sound too.
would be great if sime company, make a amiga compilation for the nintendo switch. the amiga 500 was legend.
Does this game have anything to do with Solstice on the NES? Now there's a game that has an amazing title theme.
@erv Add the ones you want to your games collection under your profile on the site. Can assign category to want.
I really like this genre of games. I didn’t knew about this game before but it’s now definitely on my watch for list.
I wish someone would make a game like Killzone: Liberation on PSP. That was my favorite game of that generation. This is the closest(?) thing I’ve found.
maybe...
This looks promising
Now this looks like my kind of game
Immediate purchase
@PALversusNTSC I agree with you on that as the Amiga 1200 Team17 catalogue has fond memories with me. Not sure if the Team17 of today is the same organisation however they have bought Worms to switch.
Maybe someone should ask Team17 about the possibility. Probably none but if enough ask then they may consider.
