3D roguelike guitar-shooter Metal Tales: Overkill coming to Switch

Zerouno Games opened a Kickstarter yesterday for Metal Tales: Overkill, an upcoming 3D roguelike guitar-shooter. In just eight hours, the €5,000 goal was reached. That means we’ll be seeing it on Switch.

Here’s some information about Metal Tales: Overkill plus a trailer:
