Publisher RedDeerGames have announced that P.3, a vertical shoot ’em up, will be launching on Switch eShop later this year. The game has an arcade, retro-style aesthetic, with a focus on simple but challenging gameplay reminiscent of that era. The game was developed by solo indie developer DevJgame, and was previously released on Steam in October 2019.

Sit behind the steering wheel of a spaceship and save the galaxy from alien invaders! P.3 is a retro vertical shoot ’em up with a twist, inspired by classic arcades!

A space vintage rouge-like, with a simple, but cruelly heavy gameplay is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.

SIMPLE CONTROLS, HARDCORE CHALLENGE!
Two buttons – that’s all you need to control the spaceship. By steering the ship left or right, you will shoot at enemies – when the ship is flying straight, it will not shoot.

Push left and right simultaneously to fire an alternative weapon. Simple, yet hard to master when you facing a whole horde of aliens!

ACTION-PACKED GAMEPLAY
There’s no time to rest in space – non-stop action through a unique 5 levels, each topped off with a boss fight! In battle, you can earn upgrades and new weapons that will help you along the way!

RETRO FEEL
From gameplay to graphics, P.3 was created as a tribute to classic shmups and bullet hell games. All this is accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack!

KEY FEATURES:
– Arcade action and retro vibe
– Easy to learn controls, hard to master gameplay
