Castle of Heart: Retold announced for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2

Castle of Heart: Retold is in development for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, 7Levels announced today. The game is due out this summer.

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because we saw Castle of Heart on Nintendo Switch way back in 2018. Retold is “a massively upgraded and expanded version of the original game, featuring significant enhancements across gameplay, story, visuals, and more.”

Here’s some additional information:

Stand against the Sorcerer – a servant of the evil god Chernobog—to rescue the last priestess of the goddess Mokosh and liberate the land from his tyrannical rule. As a Slavic warrior named Svaran, you must overcome not only magical creatures and lethal contraptions, but also a terrible curse that has turned your body to stone. You need to keep your kill streak going – otherwise your body will begin to disintegrate, eventually costing you limbs and the ability to wield weapons!

Key Features

• Challenge Worthy of a Knight – Travel across four distinct Slavic landscapes and prove your worth against the Sorcerer’s minions and blood-thirsty mythological creatures such as chorts, ghouls, and vodniks. Master your swordsmanship and tip the odds in your favor with dozens of melee and ranged weapons—from torches and hatchets to javelins and crossbows. Test your skills and reflexes in challenging boss battles against powerful, intimidating foes.
