Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – March 28th, 2023.
The Gothenburg-based (Sweden) indie games publisher Elden Pixels and L.A.-based (the US) indie games developer GameAtomic, are today super excited and happy to announce that their retro action platformer “Kraino Origins“, is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop for $11.99 / €11.99 / £10.79.

Developer GameAtomic and publisher Elden Pixels are pleased to announce that the ghoul-filled retro action platformer Kraino Origins launches today on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $11.99 / €11.99 / £10.79.

Kraino Origins will test players with its fast-paced melee combat, magic abilities, and hidden power-ups!

This eerie adventure takes place in a world inhabited by ghouls, ghosts, skeletons, and all manner of monsters. In Kraino Origins, you will slash your way through swarms of enemies to overcome eight dark and dangerous levels, filled to the brim with well-kept secrets.

Unlock a host of powerful weapons and upgrades to wreak havoc on your foes, but beware of hazards and treacherous traps along the way in order to make it to the epic final battle.

Kraino was created to aid the forces of evil, but all the dark magic and malice used to create him could not change who Kraino was – a force of good. Now it’s up to Kraino to use all the powers of evil to fight fire with fire. He will journey across the land to destroy the nefarious lords, uncover hidden weapons, and get his revenge on his maker, Dr. Batcula.

“We are very excited to launch our much loved retro action platformer, Kraino Origins, on Nintendo Switch today,” said Mikael, CEO & Creative Director at Elden Pixels.

“Fans of our existing games (Alwa’s Awakening, Alwa’s Legacy and Cathedral) will definitely like this challenging retro title, jam-packed with creepy crawlies, monsters and ghouls.”

Kraino Origins is available to purchase now on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
