Posted on August 2, 2024 by (@NE_Brian) in News, Switch

Super Rare Games, in partnership with tinyBuild and Hilltop Studios, today announced that it’s working on a physical version of Lil’ Guardsman.

Super Rare Games will be selling a total of 3,000 units. You’ll get a copy of the game, interior art, full-color manual, exclusive sticker, and a set of three trading cards.

Lil’ Guardsman originally hit the Switch eShop at the start of the year. Find some details about it below.

Play as Lil, a 12-year-old covering for her dad Hamish as a castle gate guard. While on the job Lil draws the attention of the three royal advisors, each with their own agenda. Before long you become involved in conspiracy and diplomacy, and your choices determine the fate of the entire kingdom!

You will question humans, elves, goblins, cyclopes, and other fantasy creatures using your powers of deduction to determine who to admit or deny based on how they respond to your questions and your trusty tools.

Key Features

  • Fantasy/Comedy Narrative: See the Sprawl and its fantastical & quirky citizens through a royal wedding to one of two kingdoms vying for an alliance, and a subsequent siege by whoever you’ve angered in the process. Your decisions can determine the fate of the city and its people!
  • Interrogation Puzzles: Interrogate 100+ fully voiced characters in just the right way to earn a perfect score.
  • Tools of the trade: Spend your hard earned gold wisely on powering up your guardsman toolkit, and strategically deploy these to admit or deny the right people or…goblins?
  • Rewind Time: Use your trusty Chronometer3000 to go back and get a higher score… but be careful not to break space and time in the process.

The Lil’ Guardsman Switch physical release will be up for grabs through Super Rare Games’ website here on August 8 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. Also, we have more coverage here.
