Oppidum launch trailer – story-driven survival experience comes to Nintendo Switch

To promote the debut of Oppidum on Nintendo Switch, EP Games has sent out a launch trailer. The story-driven survival experience came out this week.

Tons of details about it can be found in the following overview:

Enjoy Oppidum, a story-driven survival experience for 1-4 players full of adventure, action, crafting, exploration… Everything a squad of scouts would love for a good story to tell.
Build your camp, collect resources, craft equipment, face the dangers that this island driven mad by the corruption hides and uncover its mystery in this story-driven survival adventure for 1 to 4 players.

Corruption has taken over the island of Insule and the creatures that live in it, a place that was once full of beauty and magic, and that only you can save from its ill fate. …but you don’t have to carry it alone. Turn this story into a cooperative adventure for up to 4 players. Venture into the woods, swamps and caves, collaborate to build your camp and face all the dangers together.

Keep yourself safe and get ready to continue with your adventure. Craft tools, upgrade your weapons, construct buildings, tend to your crops and animals or even cook energizing meals. Persuade its inhabitants to show you the blueprints to improve the structures and turn it into your home.

Help and learn from the customs of the creatures on the island, but be careful. Arm yourself, hunt for resources, defend yourself and seek the guidance of the Protectors to save this magical world.

You are their last hope. Every battle you fight, every item you craft and every inhabitant you help will take you one step closer to your goal: solve each of their mysteries to save this magical world from its corruption.
