Here’s another great news piece that I missed out on thanks to my stomach flu from hell experience. Anyways, a couple of days ago we received an e-mail from FDG Entertainment and they had us know that their “Zelda” inspired action/RPG “Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King” has landed on the Nintendo Switch console (the game is also out for PC via Steam):

“Hi TGG team, We’re excited to announce that Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King will be available on December 21st, 2017, console-exclusive for Nintendo Switch. Explore a vast open game world in classic action-adventure fashion as Lily, Knight of the Rose! Slash your way through monster-infested dungeons to save the Kingdom of Blossom from eternal darkness.” – FDG Entertainment

The Switch version of “Blossom Tales” offers an exclusive HD rumble support. So that should add an extra level of awesomeness to the game (hopefully).

Simply put, that’s great news for those who enjoy old-school-like “Zelda” games =) And in case you don’t know what “Blossom Tales” is all about, here’s a short description of the game via Nintendo’s homepage:

“Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a delightful mix of well-crafted retro pixel art with a modern twist and action oriented gameplay, drawing you into the world of the Kingdom of Blossom! Experience a fantastic tale passed down from grandfather to grandchildren and be part of the vivid narration by influencing the course of events yourself! Play as the heroine of the story, Lily, Knight of the Rose, as she quests throughout the Kingdom of Blossom to save it from eternal darkness and awake the King from his spell-induced slumber! Featuring over 15 hours of gameplay, a free-roaming overworld full of secrets to discover, items to aid combat and puzzle-solving, four tough dungeons and a fun, but more importantly, funny story – Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a love letter to the action adventure games of old, but made for the gamers of today”

Do you remember the boss fights from “Zelda: A Link to the Past”? Well, guess what? The boss fights are just as intense (if not more intense) in “Blossom Tales”.

So, what about features then? Well, here are some of the said features for the Switch version of “Blossom Tales”:

Features:
+ More than 15 hours of gameplay
+ Switch exclusive HD Rumble support
+ Huge, diverse game world with many different locations
+ 4 unique themed dungeons
+ Various items impacting gameplay and fighting style
+ Fun, charming storytelling

“Blossom Tales” is said to offer over 15 hours of gameplay. In other words, the game should keep you occupied and entertained for quite some time.

So there you have it folks =) And “if” you like the sounds of that, then you can buy “Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King” for 14,99 USD via Nintendo’s E-shop. As for me, I don’t own a Switch at this time. So the PC-version of the game will have to do for now.
