Microids is bringing a cute turn-based RPG to Switch tomorrow based on the hugely popular French web series, Noob.

Noob - The Factionless has been in Early Access on Steam since June 2021, but the full release is dropping tomorrow, 29th June, on the eShop for $39.99 / £32.99. If you pre-order it today, however, you can get an extra 10% off.

Just as the show — which is also aired on TV in France and many French-speaking countries — is set inside the MMORPG Horizon, Noob - The Factionless also takes place inside the fantasy online world. You play as four players from the Rush guild: Baster the Neogician, Drek the Berserker, May the Cartomancer, and Logs the Elementalist. Your goal? Simply to become the best MMORPG player out there.

The game has a really cute and colourful squashed-down art style, with turn-based combat against hundreds of different enemies. It's really channelling the classics of the genre from its tone and its gameplay.

Here are some of the main features, from publisher Microids:

Main features:

-
A true RPG experience with 50+ hours of gameplay, 750+ avatars to interact with and 300+ maps to wander in.
