Critically-acclaimed horror title Crow Country will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch this month on 16th October 2024, as announced by developer and publisher SFB Games.
Originally available on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, Crow Country is a retro styled survival horror experience that takes heavy inspiration from earlier titles in the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises. It received overwhelmingly positive reception for its writing and narrative along with its reverence for the horror genre and accompanying gameplay.
The game sees you take on the role of Mara Forest as you investigate an abandoned amusement park known as Crow Country. The gameplay will require you to solve puzzles and combat terrifying beasts, all the while managing your inventory in order to stay alive.
Curiously, the game was developed by the same studio who brought us the delightfully charming Snipperclips - Cut it out, together!, one of the Nintendo Switch's launch titles back in 2017. This is quite the departure, but judging from the reception so far, it seems to be a smash hit.
Crow Country will launch on the eShop for £16.75 / €19,49 / $19.99.

That’s a lot sooner than I expected to see it on Switch! It looks great…I don’t really get along with horror games (Resident Evil 4 Wii and Last of Us/Part 2 are really the only horror games I can say I’ve played and finished) but I think I’ll have to give this a shot
Love to see it and while I'm still not a fan of horror in general I want to give at least some games in the genre a try and it looks like this one (along with at the very least a couple of the Resident Evils which clearly inspired it as mentioned also by the article) could be among them!
That's pretty cool. I've been hearing praises for this game, and was wondering when will it be ported to Switch.
Never heard of this one, looks great though. I'm a sucker for a good Resident Evil-alike.
This is awesome news! I played it on PS5 and got the platinum trophy. I will probably double dip though! Great game.
Almost bought this on PS5. Which version do I get? PS5 for the trophies or Switch because, well it’s the Switch!
My Switch backlog won't stop growing, please send help.
Great, the game deserves to be on the best platform
Huzzah! This is fantastic news! I thought I was going to have to wait until the Switch 2!
Very happy to hear this. I was hoping this would come to Switch sooner than later, definitely getting this now.
Brilliant I'm absolutely getting this!
That trailer was a good way to sell the game because it has me really interested
Beem watching this one for a while on X. Super awesome.
Never heard of this, seems very cool. Love the FF7 look.
Looking good, definitely will keep my eyes on this one.
Switch still pumping 'em out!!
What a fantastic console! I am no where near ready to end this cycle. Another year wait would be totally cool with me, in fact I'm sure I will hold off until the first iteration upgrade of Switch 2 (inevitable, right?) as it is.
I’m glad I held off from getting this on the PS5. I just hope the Switch port is the best port! This looks and sounds like a great way to start the spooky season with.
Some of the action parts look kinda janky but as long as it doesn't try and copy the old horrid tank movements of the original RE it could be fun.
About time. Was amazed it didn't launch on Switch alongside PC, considering how big the platform is for indies.
Heard it's excellent.
I enjoyed the devs' previous work on the point and click Tangle Tower and if that's anything to go on, I'll probably have a good time with this too.
want to sea review for performance issues..
Good stuff. I'm juggling two games at the moment so when I'm done, I'll check this out.
Edit: To those who've played( @kraven) : is it cryptic and hard to progress? Or does the game guide you in the right direction?
Awesome! More people should try this game.
Not my typical genre, but this looks like a game I'd really enjoy.
I havent played this one! It seems interesting... to those that have played it, is it confusing and cryptic like the original resident evil games? I really disliked those, but I love me a good brain teaser!
Good timing for spooky season!
Really looking forward to this, was really disappointed when it didnt get released on Switch when it came out.
Absolutely love that thumbnail with diorama coming out of switch, I'd buy that to stick on a shelf if it was an actual thing
They're also the people who made the Tangle Tower games if anyone has played them. They definitely seem like a versatile developer.
I'm not really that into survival horror games but I might pick up this one day on a sale since it still looks really good.
Awesome, really wanted to play this! Just in time for Halloweenus too
@johnedwin this game runs on a potatoe. So you'll most likely be in luck.
