Publisher Crunching Koalas and developer John Pywell have announced the opening of pre-orders for the atmospheric soulslike action-RPG FOUNTAINS for the Nintendo Switch console. The game's release is scheduled for September 17 at a price of $14.99 in the Nintendo eShop.
A Gloomy Labyrinth and a Test of Endurance
FOUNTAINS takes players into a seamless, interconnected world built on the principle of one massive dungeon. Playing as a hooded stranger who has just escaped from the prison of a tyrannical regime, you will have to explore the secrets of a war-torn empire.
The project's combat system is characterized by high demands on timing and reaction: every mistake is severely punished, but at the community's request, the developers added difficulty settings. In addition, the world is built according to the laws of a metroidvania—new abilities will open previously inaccessible paths and secrets.
