Press release:
TOKYO — Feb. 02, 2023.
The Taiwan-based indie games publisher 18Light Game Ltd. and indie games developer Joy Brick Inc. are today very happy and excited to announce that their beautiful subaquatic metroidvania “Pronty: Fishy Adventure” (which is an award-winning title), is coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop on March 7th, 2023.

Be one of the first to dive into Pronty with a 10% pre-order discount available on the eShop starting today, Feb. 2 at 6:00 AM PT until Monday, March 6 at 11:59 PM PT.

Something fishy is going on in the kingdom of Royla! Horrifying sea creatures corrupted by toxic waste terrorize the country’s citizens. Guide Pronty and Bront, his robotic swordfish companion, as they embark on an epic adventure to restore peace to the once-thriving underwater utopia.

Explore an interconnected modern Atlantis. Swim through expansive waters with “zero-gravity” movement, and clash with more than 40 ghastly sea monsters across 100+ levels. Execute long-range attacks and form an impenetrable defense around Pronty as Bront dashes across the map with one-of-a-kind underwater Javelin combat mechanics.

There is always a bigger fish, and there’s always an optimal build for Pronty’s exotic encounters. Prioritize offense, defense, movement, or a combination of all three when unlocking special powers on Pronty’s Memory Board. Adapt to every deep-sea danger and switch moves at a moment’s notice with hot-swap abilities, enabling quick strategy changes on the fly.

Every success sends Pronty and Bront further down into the unknown depths. Increase the pressure with multiple difficulty modes, and visit Neptune’s Hall in Boss Rush mode to put the duo’s skills and abilities to the ultimate test. The Nintendo Switch release will include the full version of Pronty plus DLC previously released on Steam.

Bask in the ambiance of the sea with underwater sound design and epic electronica soundtrack, accompanied by an ever-increasingly mysterious atmosphere brought to life with a vibrant, polished line art style.

“Since the PC version of Pronty was released, we’ve received a constant stream of feedback from players asking for the game on consoles,” commented Ariel Pang, Joy Brick Inc., Overseas Business Division Manager.

“We’re very grateful for the community’s support and are super excited to finally deliver Pronty on Nintendo Switch!”

Pronty launches on the Nintendo Switch eShop on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, for $14.99/€14.99/£13.99 with a 10% discount on pre-orders until Monday, March 6 at 11:59 PM PT. For more information, please visit the official website, and follow @18lightgame and #Pronty on Twitter.
