Press release:
September 3rd, Warsaw, Poland.
The independent game’s developer Red Zero Games are today very pleased and thrilled to announce that their satirical turn-based strategy game “Here Be Dragons” is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop.

Leviathans, krakens, predatory whales or cunning mermaids, you name it. Whatever terrifying sea creature you can think of (including slightly delusional and definitely very unlucky captains or dead parrots), Here Be Dragons most likely has them.

And that’s on top of a fantastic graphic design and gameplay that cleverly mixes deep strategy features with a hilarious adventure plot. So what are you waiting for? Switch on your… erm… Switch, and set sail for your very first sea adventure!

Here Be Dragons is now available on Nintendo eShop (https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/here-be-dragons-switch/) where you can get it for $12,59.

ABOUT HERE BE DRAGONS

In 1492, Christopher Columbus led Europe to a New World. That’s a fact.

OR IS IT?

Think about it. Ten weeks of travel, 100 people, three ships. Waters full of frightening creatures like the Kraken, Triton, Leviathan, and ghost ships. Do you really think three ships stuffed full of humans had any chance against those gargantuan sea creatures? Of course not!

They were just three juicy dumplings, filled with delicious stuffing, exposed to the bloodthirsty beasts of the ocean. But these lousy officials feed you stories of Christopher Columbus’ alleged greatness. Why? For those who don’t know – it’s always about money and reputation.

The upper classes, worried about their place in the hierarchy, were dissatisfied with the stories about the “Avant Armada” that spread around the world, stories of brave lunatics who defeated beasts lurking beneath the cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean. All documentation of the facts was destroyed, and any word of these events turned into unverified hearsay, to be easily replaced by a pompous legend about the success of Christopher Columbus.

Who would benefit from such a story? One about a bunch of freaks who cleared hostile waters, just so Chris could sail them as easily as a canoe across a pond? It’s not the kind of legend an old sailor would tell the locals. It wouldn’t get all the landlubbers talking, nor would it inspire the people.

HERE BE DRAGONS MAIN FEATURES:

Be a responsible captain, you mongrel! Use the original Dice Activation System to attack enemies, heal your crew, and upgrade the fleet.
Decide the fate of the fleet before someone -or something- decides it for you. Collect Ink and use Errata to turn the tide of an encounter.
This map can’t be rolled up. Cross the seas using an ancient, living map, full of terrible creatures ready to devour you!
Confront the fiercest beasts that ever lived: Leviathans and Krakens, predatory whales, and lustful mermaids. Decimate Tritons, awaken dragons, and then erase them from human memory.
You’ll go nuts! Meet an extraordinary company of weirdos, madmen, and oddballs. Their vices and virtues fuel the journey.
The bureaucrats will try your patience. Clash with the bureaucratic machine. Don’t lose your cool when confronted by the absurdities spewed by authorities and royal advisors.
Think of yourself as a Witcher of the sea. Spit on pirates. Ignore the settlers. You’re above them all –a monster hunter traversing aqua incognita. So what if you go crazy sometimes?

Here Be Dragons is now available on Nintendo Switch.

More information about the game can be found on the Nintendo eShop page, Facebook, official website, and the developer’s Twitter.
