Gothic pinball title Demon's Tilt has been confirmed for release on Nintendo Switch.
Viewed by many as a spiritual successor to the legendary Devil's Crush series and championed endlessly by the late, great Jason Brookes, Demon's Tilt showcases old-school visuals and a soundtrack by E.C.2151 that sounds like it was ripped from a long-lost Genesis game. It currently holds a 9/10 rating on Steam.
The action takes place across a three-screen table which boasts boss fights, secret screens and loads of bullets to avoid; the developers are calling it a cross between pinball, a shmup, and a hack 'n slash action title.
Former Super Play and EDGE editor Brookes, who tragically passed away last week, spoke very positively about the game, telling us last year:
Demon's Tilt is an amazing retro revamp; I seriously think it's one of the best tributes to a 16-bit game I've played. It's premium indie: fast, smooth-scaling and really detailed quality 16-bit graphics with shmup 'bullet hell' elements and killer sound; it's like a Cave shooter crossed with Devil's Crush!
And yes, the game will support TATE mode:
Will you be picking this one up when it arrives on the 23rd of December? Let us know with a comment.

Looking forward to the spiritual successor to Demon's Tilt, titled Dark Tilt, that'll really cause the popularity of this franchise to snowball.
Well I love pinball and I've heard some good things about this game, so I'm supporting it.
Ooh, I have this in my Steam wish list, but would prefer on Switch for the vertical layout. Very cool.
Played this on Steam. Wild and fun game. It really is reminiscent of Devil’s Crush in various ways. Looking forward to the Switch version in a couple of weeks.
(In deep distorted voice) "JAKI CRUSH!"
Saw this last night on PC Game Pass!... will need to check it out.
Sweet chicken ball
I have been playing this on Xbox Game Pass and really enjoying it. Took me a while of tweaking the settings to get it to feel 'right', but after that I have been having a ball.
I got it on Game Pass already.
I think I have all the Pinball I need, I have quite a few tables on Zen Pinball so I will give this a miss
OOOOH!! Over here in the states, this game was released as Dragon's Fury on the Sega Genesis. That game has gotten a lot of milage out of me, personally. I'm definitely interested in grabbing this, but miiiiiiight wait for a sale.
Hell. Yes. Thank you.
I thought that alien crush was the sequel to devil's crush on TG-16? Either way if it priced right i will give it a serious look. I liked the aforementioned games.
@Bearzilla823 Devils crush was the sequel to Alien Crush.
This looks awesome.
@HatosBlack Thank you. I knew the 2 were connected, just had em bassackwards, lol.
Deffinately interested!
@Welshland It is worth noting that this plays very differently to Pinball FX. It is like a cross between pinball and a bullet hell shmup. Whereas in FX I am always aiming for certain ramps and targets, in this I am just fighting to survive through the insanity. That could put some off, and kinda did me at first, but once you give in to the chaos it's actually great fun and a very different experience to more traditional pinball games.
Oh yes, yes indeed, this looks delightful! Absolutely will be tilting my TV and checking this out as soon as the Xmas activity subsides.
