Side-scrolling action game Demon Go heading to Switch

Publisher CFK, in collaboration with developer Artifact, have confirmed that they’re readying Demon Go for Switch. Look for it on August 8, 2024.

Demon Go is a side-scrolling action game focusing on only running, jumping, and dashing. Players will control a little demon protagonist “to navigate the spicy game elements, extreme difficulty, and escape the depths of hell.”

We’ve got more information in the following overview:

One day, the little demon realizes that hell is just too infernal and decides to escape. His goal: to reach ‘Cat Heaven,’ the place that houses all of the world’s cats! Yet, the path to Cat Heaven is a rough one. In the end, will the little demon be able to overcome the countless obstacles that make him shudder in his boots at a glance and arrive safely at this paradise filled with kitties? The full-fledged plan to escape from hell begins now!

Demon Go tells the story of the little demon who decides to escape from hell and venture to Cat Heaven. It features simple side-scrolling action controls that play out within cutesy cartoon graphics, but the spicy game mechanics mean it boasts a high level of difficulty.
