Press release:
Thunderful and Digital Kingdom are today very pleased and happy to announce that their thrilling dodge-em-up “Swordship”, is now available via GOG and the Epic Games Store.

Awarded the coveted “Essential” seal of approval from Eurogamer, Swordship offers unique dodge ‘em up gameplay that flips the script on traditional arcade shooters, requiring you to use your enemies’ attacks against them, skillfully weaving around their fire to trick them into taking each other out.

The game is now available on Epic Game Store and GOG.com for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99 minus a 30% launch discount for the first seven days.

Unlock a number of Swordship types, each with its own unique active power, offering the opportunity to experiment with a variety of approaches to overcome challenging and dangerous levels. Players can further experiment with their play style by choosing between risking it all and banking stolen containers for massive high-score boosts, or playing it safe in exchange for passive upgrades and extra lives.

Swordship is set in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world where the consequences of global warming have forced the vast majority of humanity to take refuge in three gigantic underwater cities. The megacities exchange millions of containers loaded with goods every day, while those on the outside scrape what they can together in order to survive. You play as one of the small number of inhabitants prepared to steal those precious containers to deliver vital supplies to those that have been banished to the outside.

Swordship is also available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
