Team17 has announced that it'll be bringing Crown Trick, an upcoming RPG roguelike, to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Said to be "steeped in strategic, synchronous, turn-based gameplay", Crown Trick has been developed by Tencent Games’ NExT Studios. It's set in a procedurally generated maze-like dungeon where enemy decisions and actions are only revealed when players make their moves and features hundreds of weapons, skills, and items to mix things up in combat.

Here's a feature list to teach you a little more:

Crown Trick key features:
• Engaging strategic gameplay: Monsters and traps move only when the player moves; carefully thought out strategies are key to escaping the labyrinthine dungeon
• Fight how you want: Create and develop a unique combat style with dozens of active and passive skills and abilities, items, and relics help create different ways to cut through enemy encounters
• Learn from enemies: Gather elite ‘Familiar’ skills by overcoming enemies, ready to unleash on others deeper in the dungeon
• Different dungeons every time: The procedurally generated maze ensures players have unique experiences every time they enter the Nightmare Realm.
