Poetry and gaming adventures can go rather nicely together, and The Lightbringer looks like a rather beautiful and promising game on the way to Nintendo Switch.
Published by Zordix Publishing and developed by Rock Square Thunder, this is an adventure puzzle-platformer in terms of its core gameplay and is already showcasing a nice visual style. You undertake a journey to clear the corruption in the world, a task that your sister previously attempted; the story narration comes from her spirit and it's promised that it'll be entirely in poetic verse.
We do rather like the look of this one, and it's slated for a 2021 release on Switch as well as PC. Will you keep this on your radar?

Looks fun, definitly keeping an eye on this one
insert Linkara/Atop the Fourth Wall reference
How many elements lifted from 3D Mario levels?
@ThomasBW84 Fantastic subheader!
I can't help but be reminded of this classic scene from the XB360 Alone in the Dark game,

@Burning_Spear I live to please (thanks for noticing it!)
I've added to my wishlist, looks intriguing, hoping you guys do a review on it. The poetry aspect is strange but not bad at all.
Looks okay-ish. Reminds me a bit of Elli, another isometric platformer available on the eshop which I enjoyed (and is also okay-ish!).
The entire game being written in poem form is not a particularly appealing feature for me, however. Sometimes it works, often it does not
@Broosh ITS ME, THE LIGHT BRINGER
@Yodalovesu I knew it reminded me of another game, definitely looks like Elli.
Just looks a bit bland from the trailer to me. Don't think I'll bother with this one but will check out the review when it lands.
@ThomasBW84 "Iam-bit pentameter"
Good to have you back TW. 😁
"Throw him out in the cold! Don't give him his jacket!"
The concept seems amazing but hopefully the poetry is better than what’s in the trailer...
@rjejr Thank you for noticing my nerdy reference!
@ThomasBW84 For like the last 10 years on NL and PS I read the subtitle (whatever it's called ) and guess who wrote the article. On here recently it was pretty much down to Kate Gray - though for a lot of hers you can tell by the title and subject matter - and Craddock, over on PS it's either Sammy, Shogun or Quimbly. This was one a gimme. 😉
