Forever Entertainment has revealed that it will be publishing Agony - a first-person survival horror from Madmind Studio - on Switch later this year.
The game sees you go on a journey as a tormented soul within the depths of Hell, without any memories of your past. You have the ability to control people on your path, and can even possess simple-minded demons, giving you the necessary measures to survive in the extreme conditions around you. Your ultimate goal is to escape from Hell and, to do this, you'll need to meet the mystical Red Goddess.
The game features a story mode and an "open challenge system" which randomly generates levels for players to explore and survive in, all in a bid to gain new highscores. We've included a trailer below to give you a sense of the action, but be warned that the video is intended for mature audiences.
Agony originally released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in May this year, generating very mixed reviews across the board. Forever Entertainment says that the "Nintendo Switch version will be free from bugs that were present in [the] early PC version", however. Will this new Switch edition fare better than its predecessors? We'll have to wait and see.
Have you played this one on other platforms? Are you a fan of survival horrors? Let us know your thoughts on this - and that rather wild trailer - in the comments below.

Heard that this game was terrible. Pass.
Are you sure you want to be promoting this video on this site??? This could be a case where you don't post the video for obvious reasons.
The game is terrible. They are clearly trying to throw it on switch to try and make their money back.
@Spoony_Tech Kinda agree, video is a bit much, if poeple want to see it, they can google it
Hard pass.
I cant believe this made it to Switch; Howard Lincoln would DIE hhahhaha
I’m sad the game is bad, that trailer looks amazing. But I’m big into horror and hell and all that. Looks like Clive Barker made it!
@Rafke and now you can hate it on the go too
@AG_Awesome Yeah, it's disheartening to hear it's not that good. It made me think of Dante's Inferno mixed with Manhunt 2. Maybe I'll still give it a go in the event of a steep discount.
@HobbitGamer That’s what I’m thinking too unless it’s absolute trash. Lol
"Agony" Talk about a lazy name. Next someone will release a platformer called "Hop"
That's a lot of hell on such an otherwise friendly and colorful system!
Now we just need confirmation that next month's Scorn is coming to Switch as well. :3
@Heavyarms55
Ketchapp made that game already, it seems O.o;;
And man, were "DOOM" or "QUAKE" ever that much more creative? They were much more powerful, that's for sure.
@AG_Awesome Yeah I got a definite Clive Barker feel from it as well. Really sad to hear that it's not good, but I'll likely still give it a go. Everybody hated Jericho back in the day too and I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed it.
@Toshiro_Baloney I also loved Jericho!! Shame we never got a sequel or trilogy or whatever they planned. Such a cool gameplay concept with the team members too.
I mean I'm all for more horror games for the Switch... But this one I think we can all live without.
This game is terrible. To the levels, the designs, the,mechanics and the piss poor voice acting. This was a good idea on paper, but in reality it fell apart. This game was just built for youtubers to react to. Nothing more nothing less.
@Bunkerneath @Spoony_Tech
It's not much more disgusting than DOOM. I'd be bothered if this site limited its coverage to Nintendo cuteness.
I keep hearing bad opinions..... but I still have to buy it since it’ll complete my horror collection... cries
I would rather have Scorn.
It sucks. But it has 'em riddles.
@Davidiam007 Yes! Scorn looks amazing.. I hope the devs make it happen!
Meh, if you want to give us quality horror, just release Resident Evil 1 & Zero Remake on the console.
Agony on Switch is very surprising considering how mature it is. The game is still meh though.
What an awful game. I bought it for console even after the low reviews as I can usually enjoy most games but...this...this was awful.
The game is not so bad like most of people say. What happen's is which a lot of gamers was expecting something diferent, with more action. It's a game which the main motive of the player play is because the atmosphere. It's a horror game.
I hear that this game causes players a great deal of Agony due to how bad it is. I'll probably be skipping but all the better to people who wanted to play this!
@Heavyarms55 Nah, they'll get sued for taking the name from that easter movie about the rabbit who wants to join a band...
I had a rip a month ago on a mates Xbox and it was beyond trash ... How come switch gets crap like this and not better games? ...
@NintyNate For Every Doom, and Dead cells that the switch gets, we get about a truck ton of Agony, and shovelware. The first years pick of indie titles were so much more focused and higher in quality
The game is Agony to play.
The trailer looks kinda cool. But if the gameplay sucks as much as people say its a pitty. I guess i'll wait for Eternal Darkness 2
The only way you'll get me into Hell is with a shotgun and berserk power up!
NL, with so many games you'll need more freelancers to start reviewing them.
Maybe Anti-matter can take this one. Just saying...
I heard a lot of terrible things about this game, so I’ll give it a pass on Switch
It is normal I'm feeling bad after watching the trailer? I think this game is perfect for Halloween with friends.
@GamePerson19 meh sad times ... Miss those old days of games coming out for every console all the time no matter what ... Just want lots of great games and the switch, to me, is lacking... Since xeno 2 no first party Ninty games have come out and none that are good
@Pod Doom and Quake were games released originally decades ago. At that time simplistic names were fine because most games were very simple.
@NintyNate Good 1st party titles have come out (Kirby Star Allies, Mario Tennis Aces, and the upcoming Smash Bros) however none of the games that have come out this year feel like "essential" titles. Their fun yes, but not must owns like Breath of the Wild, or Odyssey. I really hope nintendo can really hit a home run with 2019 or mabey with some secret title this year, but that's just wishful thinking.
Ps Nintendo just give us Mother 3 and the Prime trilogy and pretty much everyone will forgive this year
@GamePerson19 SMA5H I'm looking forward too only if it has a story of some sort ... Kirby I didn't like at all and Aces well, it was awful lol ...
I'm hoping from this direct we get some info on Metroid and some other games desperately needed like F-ZERO! Lol
@Heavyarms55 I loved Quake more than Doom
Looks like turd. Give me proper RE7 please.
Game turned out buggy and bad, not to mention the bs they pulled with the censorship. Pass.
@Heavyarms55
...what?
@Pod Never mind, I misread your comment. I thought you were pointing out something else.
Lol, I heard this game is true Agony. So the title is correct!
