2D action game Chikaro heading to Switch

Ruccho is currently developing Chikaro, and it’s confirmed to be coming to Switch. A release window has not yet been announced.

Chikaro, a 2D action game, has players using astral projection to explore and stars Yokaze who can slip through walls, possess enemies, and explore the ruins. Further details can be found in the following overview:

The story takes place in a world after the collapse of civilization. 300 years have passed since the dangerous autonomous robot weapon Amorphouses came to roam the surface, and most humans have been confined to the underground shelter facility “Chikaro”. On the devastated surface, only a small number of people are living in modest circumstances.

Yokaze wakes up after losing his memory, and is able to read the residual thoughts of the deceased using spiritual powers. This ability allows him to find out who he is, which gradually leads him to uncover the history that led to the collapse of civilization 300 years ago.

Have a look at a trailer for Chikaro below.
