Indie developer Early Morning Studio has announced that its dark, gothic, turn-based RPG Vampire’s Fall: Origins will be sinking its teeth into Nintendo Switch this autumn.
Already available on Steam, the game is described as "a 2D open-world RPG featuring tactical turn-based combat set in a medieval fantasy world". After a malevolent Witchmaster destroys the village of Vamp’Ire, the player wakes up as a newly born vampire with a mission to get revenge, but the game doesn't take itself too seriously and features the odd splash of dark humour, too.
Early Morning Studio's Emir Kuljanin has shared the following in a press release:
Vampire’s Fall: Origins is our tribute to classic RPGs. After receiving very positive feedback from our mobile and PC players, we are excited to announce Vampire's Fall: Origins’ upcoming release on consoles so that more people can enjoy our dark fantasy vampire-themed RPG born out of love for old-school gaming."
No specific release date has been set for the Switch version just yet, but the team promises more than 50 hours of gameplay, "countless" enemies, over 250 pieces of armour and weapons to find, and plenty more when the game does arrive later this year.

It actually looks nice and interesting. Open-world and 2D sounds awesome!
But too much Diablo 1 and 2 influence
Damn. I really love the old-school Ultima look of the game but that combat just killed all interest. The "tactical combat" looks like a cheap flash game.
Looks interesting to me.
This looks very good! I am very interested.
@Zuljaras the influence I take it as a plus =]
That text is ripped straight out of OG Diablo
Yeah I'm going to have to agree with Devlin on this one, the animations on this one look incredibly cheap.
@DevlinMandrake likewise. It almost had me, then it said “tactical combat” and disappointment set in.
It is a Free to Play Mobile game. Can just download and try it out.

Don't get me wrong, I like tactical/turn-based combat but they should have stuck to the cool isometric perspective and implemented a quick and snappy turn-based system. Not changed to a worse graphical style and changed the perspective.
The first part of the trailer reminded me of Ultima VIII but I think the devs dropped the ball.
Will keep an eye out for reviews. And if the price is right.
I tried it out on iOS...and I actually like it so far. The “tactical battles” thing might be misleading. It seems like a pretty standard turn-based RPG battle system to me. There’s a meter that fills up when you do basic attacks, and then you can use those points stored up to execute combos. The map looks pretty large, too.
It’s worth a look right now on either Android or iOS. (Free on both, but $12.99 on Steam.)
looks like Divine Divinity + Diablo fonts.
I don't mind low budget as long as it has good gameplay. i will be checking this one out for sure, it looks fun.
Looks like bargain-bin crap to me.
Oh hell yeah! I've been playing this for awhile now and I didn't even know it was coming to switch.
