If your a fan of roguelikes or dungeon crawlers, Switch has got a fairly hefty selection of games to choose from and today there's another joining the lineup. Mistover will take you on an expedition to discover the mysteries of a vortex known as the Pillar of Despair in search of a cure to a creeping mist drifting across the kingdom of Arta. This mysterious moisture causes life to shrivel and brings with it dirty creatures that destroy whatever they come across.
Coming from developer Krafton Game Union, you'll take your Corps of explorers into the procedurally generated dungeons of the 'Misfortune Mist' and engage in 'strategy focused' turn-based combat as you battle to rid the kingdom of all this nastiness and generally make things right as rain.
No prizes for guessing its a roguelike, although this one seems to have been tuned for people who enjoy punishment according to a bunch details from the official blurb:
- Over 40-hours of expeditions through five distinct regions
- Procedurally generated dungeons deliver new expedition experiences every time
- Build an invincible Corps by combining and strategizing with eight different classes
- Learn and master over 13 unique skills and upgrade equipment to enhance Corps members
- Exposure to the Mist affects everything, sometimes in surprising ways, including Corps members, monsters, plants and animals, and even equipment, items, and relics
- Unique game systems find players managing internal conflicts between ‘satisfaction’ and ‘greed’
- Novice to expert players can set their difficulty with Easy, Medium and Hard levels
- Designed for players who like difficulty, MISTOVER is not for the faint of heart – and features a permanent death system
As you can see, it's got a muted colour palette and that art looks rather nice. Everything's suitably grim given the subject matter, so if turn-based dungeon crawling RPGs and roguelike shenanigans get you going, Mistover may be worth a look when it drifts onto eShop today for the sum of $29.99 / €27,99 / £24.99.
Had your fill of roguelikes for one console generation? Pah, of course not! Let us know if you like the look of this one below.

Thought it looked pretty interesting when it popped up in the coming soon section a while back. Haven't taken much time to really look into it yet and won't be getting it any time soon regardless as there's a lot I really want to play right now but it's certainly one I'll be keeping an eye on and picking up at some point if it's good enough.
I've worked out that now that I'm older I don't have as much interest in RPGs anymore, unless they are old games which I have played before.
So this is not for me, but a younger self would have jumped on it.
I get really strong Darkest Dungeon vibes from that trailer... And the gameplay description too...
From the thumbnail I thought it was somehow Etrian-related. It's not everyday that you see a pigtailed blonde paladin or a very small girl enveloped in black robes and chains with a huge scythe.
Anyways, color me interested
@ZombieGavinS I thought it must be from the same devs. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Obvious influences aside. I am always interested in roguelikes. Dungeon crawlers too, as long as they're not first person.
You know a game is just-alright when Famitsu gives a review score of 29/40. I'll still grab a physical copy for the sake of the collection.
I tried the demo a couple of weeks back and it didn't give me a positive impression on the game so I'll be skipping it.
I played the demo and I loved the graphics and overall aesthetics, but even that was more difficult than I'd like!
Was in when reading "turn based combat" was out when seeing nearly no gameplay in the trailer, was in when seeing the screenshots, was out at the price tag,...
And now...?!?
I like the art style. Etrian Odyssey meets Darkest Dungeon.
Darkest Dungeon?
I can't play Turnbased anymore. (( Too old, too impatient.
Oh, my gosh!! i cannot wait to get this game! ; A ;!! i've been keeping an eye on it ever since i saw the japanese trailer.
This reminds me a lot of The Dark Spire, with a side of Darkest Dungeon and Etrian Odyssey.
