Note: The following trailer contains pixelated nudity (the game will release uncensored).
Forever Entertainment has revealed that it'll be bringing the first-person survival horror of Agony to Nintendo Switch later this month.
The game takes place in Hell - which is always a good way to start an article - and has players heading off on a journey as a tormented soul who has no memories about their past. You'll be using a special ability to control people while heading out on your path, and possessing demons should give you just enough power to survive.
Here's some PR to tell you a little more about it:
Agony throws you in the midst of hell where you strive to stay alive and solve the riddle behind the mysterious Red Goddess; architect of this place of sorrow and pain, and the sole entity with knowledge of how to escape... but there is more to the story than it seems.
Haunted by nightmare creatures, you will gain the ability to possess demons and other souls to find a way out of hell. By exploring the hostile environment and interacting with other weary souls of the hellscape, the hero will soon understand that there is only one way to escape from Hell, and it will require meeting the mystical Red Goddess. The title is set to challenge players with its brutal and malevolent environments.
The game is launching on Switch on 31st October with pre-orders set to go live a week earlier on the 24th. It originally launched on Steam last summer to mixed user reviews.
Have you played this one on PC? Are you tempted to try it out on Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Why? It's awful sounded good on paper but one of the worst games this gen. Still not been fixed for consoles and pc and runs like poo on those , so hate to see what it's like on switch
It’s supposed to be rubbish ☹️
Oh the Agony............ See what I did there?
Best horror game going... In a horrific awful pile of poo kind of way... it will give you nightmares and a feeling of dread, that you actually bought it! Don't buy it. Better games out there and save your money for alien isolation (if its a good port.)
The game showed promise when I first saw it. However, when I played it, it was frustrating and ridiculously dark. To the point where upping the brightness on your tv won't help you see where in the world you're going. That isn't even touching on the broken stealth in the game.
Pass.
That's an easy pass for me. I dont mind horror games, but this takes it up a few more notches than I'm willing to try.
Having played this, I can attest that Agony is a completely accurate title for this game.
This looks awful; cool concept I suppose but I’ve heard nothing but terrible things about it.
Gonna be less than a dollar soon, so anyone who wants to give this a go should wait until then
Wasnt this game ultimately a disappointment? If they have fixed what was wrong I'll check it out, otherwise pass or wait for sale
....the trailer looked bad. Like cringy scary bad. Then from all the reviews and stuff.... Yea pass.
Sorry Luigi's Mansion 3, it looks like Agony will be my Halloween game to play. 😂😂😂
Damn Nintendo, if only LM3 came out sooner lol.
More wondering if there will be a Halloween sale on the eshop really.
Rated 6/10 from over 1,600 Steam reviews.
There are better Halloween games to pick from on Switch.
i love depictions of hell, actually quite keen to play this despite its horrible reception. Heck, FE regularly put their games on sale, so its not gonna hurt too bad to at least try it...
It's weirdness makes me intrigued but Forever Entertainment have a really good reputation for making below average games
This game takes itself so seriously while the gameplay just drags on with the same objectives, killing any tension by the end.
Pick up the Doom games instead. At least those games are self-aware about the ridiculous nature of surviving the forces of Hell.
I totally forgot about this. They haven’t given a release date, still, right? @Savino
How about a big no thank you, Halloween will be for Luigi’s Mansion 3. Duh. 👌
Doom Eternal looks great, Bethesda! (/s)
That demon baby with the mustache!! 😂🤣
Wasn’t there some hell game already that came out but then got pulled from the eshop ?
Shock value = No value. Also, dem graphics...
@MarioFan02 LMAO
@Savino
Me to, it was the only reason i regret stelling my ps4, I was so thrilled they announced it, hopefully is it still for 2019
When agony leads to depression.
I’m going to be so pissed if it’s eShop only. I’m a physical copy junkie. At the very least make it a physical case w/download code. I know some people think that’s dumb but I love it so the case goes with the rest of mine in my collection. @Savino
So far I’ve only gotten burned a few times. Overwatch, Wolfenstein Youngblood, and partially from Resident Evil Revelations Collection since Rev2 is code only.
@Savino Don't know if you've played it yet but it's an awesome game. True homage to the original Alien movie.
Some competition for WWE2K and Vroom in the Night Sky perhaps?
For this game to come out on Switch on Holloween, that actually makes sense since this is a horror game, even though it is dumb to release the game the same day as Luigi's Mansion 3 in my opinion.
Although, I have to ask: who asked for this, really? The game is known to be one of the worst games from last year due to horrible stealth mechanics and lack of polish, especially on consoles (but it has been patched, so I'm not sure how the state of the game is now). I hope this Switch port fixes most of the issues and doesn't launch in a horrendous state. Because otherwise, why bother?
That's how I feel about this, anyway. Luigi's Mansion 3 will overshadow this game if the port does turn out to be garbage.
1:32-1:35
Luigi, what happened to you?!?😳
@suikoden Doesen't run bad on my PC.
Still not a good game.
No.
Different creativity than I am looking for.
Why did they even waste the time??? This game is GARBAGE.
Please, don't put this garbage of a game on the switch ._." -than again, it's not family friendly like it's supposed to be -sticking to originality, and they're routes. Honestly the switch went down hill once it started to realize it was trying to copy the damn ps4 -no offense to sony, i love them, but please stop copying off of each other and just be the original family friendly console that i grew up with-nintendo, and sony go back to being a mature console.
-Not this garbage move you're making nintendo; where you put APP games from the damn playstore, or even from cruddy sites -where you can find those "games" at, to pay money for that -like it's an embarrassment to be an owner of the switch at times. -I've never stated this in my dang gaming life ever. It's the first time.
I just really hope no child buys this cruddy game, and they take it off the darn switch shop. I can stand the darn tumblr cringe fest of otome games, but this is just no freaking thanks
Ooooh blurred boobies!!
Man this game looks awful
@MidnightLaces The ESRB is there for a reason, you know.
Plus, just because games are on the Switch, that doesn't mean they need to be family friendly. Set the parental controls to where all you see is Family Friendly stuff (Rated E and E10+), and move on with your day. Not everything needs to be Family Friendly on the Switch. It's not just a system for kids. :/
