Roguelike Storm Lancers out on Nintendo Switch this fall

Publisher ProbablyMonsters has officially unveiled one of its first titles: Storm Lancers, a fast-paced roguelike heavily inspired by ‘80s anime and cartoons. The game is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch this fall.

Designed to be an accessible yet intense 10 hour experience, Storm Lancers features stylish combo-based combat, local co-op gameplay, and high replayability. It also marks the debut of the new publisher, which is led by industry veterans Jim Veevaert (Microsoft, Zynga) and Seth Thompson (Blizzard).

According to the team, Storm Lancers was built to be dynamic and addictive, delivering non-stop action meant to keep players’ reflexes sharp and their hearts racing. With its bold visuals and cooperative play, the game aims to provide a nostalgic yet fresh experience.

Here some additional information about the game:

Fight Together. Die Together. Repeat.
You and your friend just crash-landed on an alien planet harboring a secret source of powerful magic. All of reality is on the verge of collapse, and two magical creatures have chosen you as their heroes. To save the planet, you’ll fight, die, and bond with the Stormhearts to rise again — stronger, fiercer, and unstoppable.

Designed for couch co-op, Storm Lancers is a fast-paced rogue-like, where every run means dodging death, overcoming enemies, and mastering powerful skills. The battle is on, so team up for survival.

ANIME ACTION
On Cryptica, no two runs are the same. In this side-scrolling rogue-like, you’ll navigate shifting biomes where every leap, slash, and dash brings you one step closer to unraveling the mystery. With each playthrough, discover new items that make that run’s playstyle unique and gain permanent upgrades that make you stronger.

SEAMLESS COUCH CO-OP
Rogue-like action, specifically built for two. Explore Cyptica’s alien world and prepare for battle, side by side with a friend, using your combined abilities, weapons, and powerups. If your partner has to leave, no worries. Storm Lancers lets you seamlessly switch from co-op to solo, so you stay in the action.

BOSSES & ENEMIES
From a machine race that consumes planets to alien flora and fauna that want to kill everything, fight through bosses and enemies who will force you to think faster, fight harder, and adapt quickly. This is an ever-changing battlefield where killer instincts and survival skills are everything.

WEAPONS & ABILITIES
Arm yourself with a variety of weapons built for every kind of playstyle and run. From flaming swords and razor-sharp Katars to Rifles, crushing Hammers, and Grenade Launchers, each weapon is designed for destruction. Choose wisely — or die quickly.
