The chaotic hand-drawn adventure game Sundered: Eldritch Edition is arriving on the Nintendo Switch on 21st December for $19.99 and can be pre-purchased now from the eShop.
This definitive edition enhances the experience with local co-op for up to four players. If you're not familiar with this upcoming release, this is a title developed by Thunder Lotus (responsible for Jotun) where you take on the role of Eshe – a wanderer in a ruined world. You'll have to fight for survival and sanity as you harness the power of corrupted relics to defeat gigantic bosses.
Here's a bit more about the game courtesy of the developer:
Sundered is a game that builds on the strengths of Thunder Lotus' first game, Jotun: hand-drawn art, epic boss battles, and a fully immersive world. In addition, Sundered has been designed to be a more varied and replayable experience than Jotun, including more complex mechanics and meaningful player choices. Further, with Sundered, Thunder Lotus delves into a darker universe heavily inspired by Lovecraft’s writings.
Take a look at the trailer above and tell us if you'll be downloading this on release.

this one got some pretty bad reviews unfortunately... i think we might have passed “peak roguelite” at the end of 2018. i respect the studio though
Seems colorful, intense and really nice. Jotun was so excellent.
I got excited when I saw the trailer but the “procedurally generated” level design made me instantly give up. That thing is growing old. It rarely, rarely improves the experience over regular, hand-crafted levels.

Stop right there crimanal scum! Nobody mentions amazing rougelikes without Death Road To Canada on my watch!
Meh. I've heard the reviews were pretty bad.
@Fake-E-Lee “ after my 50th time of getting to The Hand Of The King in Dead Cells”
in my case replace that with “my 50th time dying on the first boss” 🤔
@bluesdance Ya, I am still trying to unlock the damn wall jump but die after the the damn Beholder boss.
My wallet was at the ready, but after seeing you guys saying it got bad reviews, I decided to investigate. Welp, my wallet will remain in my pocket. I got half way through IGN’s video review of it and bailed. Too bad, it sure is pretty
Edit:: and I agree, procedurally generated games need to wrap it up
Soon as I saw Jotun released for Switch, I knew this was coming. But I liked it too much to wait for the Switch version. Beat it twice on PS4 and enjoyed every minute of it...especially after a patch fixed its initially nigh-unbearable loading times. (I only bought it because it was half-price at the time--I thought it was great for $10, not so much for $20).
Usually I hate procedurally generated games, but this one did things a little differently. You barely notice the procedural generation--I dare say this is one of the few games that does it right.
@Gen0neD
just read igns review and last time i checked 7.8 isnt a bad review score. i really enjoyed this game even if it's not the best example of a Metroidvania
@MysticGengar from where?
