Sephirothic Stories is just days away from launching on Nintendo Switch, it has been confirmed. You'll be able to get your hands on it from 4th April in North America, and just one day later in Europe.
The game is an adventure RPG from Kemco which actually released on Steam just a couple of weeks ago. It'll have you solving puzzles, utilising your character's special abilities, creating fusions with allies and more. The Nintendo eShop listing for the game reads as follows:
Shendoah―a world protected by Sephiroth. However, with the power of the world tree having begun to wane, countless people have been overcome by an encroaching murk that has transformed them into monsters. Now with the world on the verge of destruction, an unlikely band sets out an adventure with their convictions...
Yet, what shocking truth awaits them at the end of their journey...?
Navigate trap-filled dungeons using only your mind and wit to conquer challenging puzzles! Use individual character abilities to make headway and unleash powerful attacks called “fusions” in turn-based battles! Weapon upgrades and many subquests are available for additional enjoyment.
Sephirothic Stories will launch on Switch for £13.49 / $14.99, but pre-purchasing it ahead of release will give you a 10% discount.

I can see that Mark Zuckerberg is in the party....
Oh wow it looks terrible.
Ugh, looks really bad. It's a no, chief. This ain't it.
Another kemco rpg... they need to pick a good story, and make one good product with it instead of making forgettable game after forgettable game. I don't play rpgs because of the play style or aesthetic- i do it for story, which i think most people do as well. These guys don't get it
Really? Naming the character in your game 'Sephiroth' and then putting 'Sephirothic' in your title? Either this is showing poor creative skills, or they're hoping that releasing this near the FFVII launch will sucker in a few sales. Basically a videogame version of clickbait.
I love JRPGs but that’s way too generic for my tastes. Doesn’t look appealing enough.
Another week, another generic KEMCO RPG.
Can you seriously still see the "joystick" on the screen when moving? Really stink lazy port.
I would add a comment but every thing I thought about it has already been said. Looks like a late PS1 game to me.
looks pretty....bad! at least its not another 2D one
Scheriproct Stories more like (in case you're wondering, Scheriproct is used for treating piles)
Please nintendolife ,.stop promoting subpar games
@Desrever Ff VII took these from the Judaic holy books. They, like most fantasy monster and story origins, go back to ancient religion and spirituality.
That title.....
Please for the buying next week for Pikachudian Story, a unique video game staring our orange cat Pikachude. Exceptional! Wow!
I want a new Golden Sun game so bad.
This looks lame.
that lizard man reminds me of Gabiru from that reincarnated slime anime lol..
@Meei
Good god it does! It's literally the mobile game slapped onto the Switch touchscreen.
Do they never stop.how many of this bad rpgs have they put out already.just stop it
Yeah I really don't like this look lol.
They are charging double the price compared to the mobile version.
Avoid.
I have never actually played a Kemco RPG before but judging reviews I haven't missed that much. But those 16bit style games from Kemco at least look nice. This is just unappealing.
@molliolli182
The 2D ones are generic cookie cutter with lame stories but the sprites and combat are great if you like 16 bit rpgs.
This though.
Kemco? Well thats a solid pass from me
@NintendoFan4Lyf I think a developer can use the old limitations as an effective style, but you need to make it look GOOD inside those limitations and often in a creative way to surprise players. (Then we hopefully get some modern quality of life improvements in the game to really seal the deal). This has so many weird choices that feel, to me, like bad performance, and poor design on first impression, rather than working into an appealing aesthetic.
I'm not one to buy a game depending on the graphics but boy does this look ugly. I don't have anything to say that was not already written in the comments but I would like to point that you can't place the name Sephiroth and expect to not be compared to a certain game...
But hey, if someone can change my mind, I would be happy to give this game a try (after a discount or three)
Imagine Kemco releasing an $60 USD retail game for the Switch (and other consoles). I wonder how that will go heheh.
@Drac_Mazoku you must have infinite free time and be absolutely insatiable for JRPGs!
Seriously, we have sega classics, NES classics, final fantasies, retro throwback indies by the truckload, late-season ports like tales of symphonia and atelier series, new fresh stuff coming through from japan, Xenoblade, Ys, Zelda...
And you're playing all of Kemco's 50-odd lazy, depressing, soulless, factory-churned-out garbage apps?
Kemco, no no. Cookie cutter rpg is not fun.
Sorry, don’t like to come into the comments and just be negative but I can’t help it based on this video. Game looks awful graphically and super generic. I’d be happy if Kemco never released another RPG on the Switch
@Drac_Mazoku which one has been your favorite? I’ve only played Revanent Saga but I found it enjoyable.
@Drac_Mazoku I have to admit I've only tried 2 of them, on mobile because I was craving a JRPG. Couldn't get past 30 mins because it felt so hollow to me compared to real SNES classics. But thanks for explaining more about their good points - clearly someone is buying these things.
There are so many great JRPGs to play on Switch instead of this.
Ouch, that framerate...
