Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – June 27th, 2023.
Thunderful and Digital Kingdom are pleased to announce that the unforgiving post-apocalyptic dodge ’em up “Swordship“, described by Forbes as “the most stylish game of 2022”, is getting a Nintendo Switch demo in the US, Europe and Japan today, please check the eShop on your Switch directly.
In addition, a 40% Nintendo eShop discount is available in Europe. The exhilarating and challenging title is truly one of a kind and is sure to keep you on your toes.
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.
Select from a number of Swordship variants, 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 score boosts, or playing it safe for passive upgrades and extra ships.
For more information, visit the Swordship Steam community page.
Swordship is available for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99 on all platforms; it is also verified for Steam Deck.
