Turn-based tactical RPG Reptilian Rising announced for Nintendo Switch

Numskull Games, Gregarious Games, and Robot Circus have announced Reptilian Rising, which is on the way to Nintendo Switch. A release is planned for this spring.

Reptilian Rising is a turn-based tactical RPG with claymation visuals. Note that there’ll be a limited physical release on Nintendo Switch in Europe.

Plenty of additional details can be found in the following overview:

The timeline and everyone in it (that includes you) is under siege! Confront the Reptilian Rising, bring retro miniatures to life on battlefields across time. Fight against The Ouroboros through seven time periods, recruit the best of humanity’s heroes, and upgrade your favorites for the fight ahead. To accomplish this mission, players will take the role of recognisable faces, from heroes like Winston Churchill, Cleopatra, Albert Einstein and many more as they battle against an army of reptile monsters, like a three-headed fascist dinosaur, the Tri-Cannon – a triceratops mashed with a minigun and a legion of scaly sociopaths.

Open the door, get on the floor, everybody shoot the dinosaur

As if talking dinosaurs and flesh-hungry lizardmen weren’t bad enough, your time-traveling heroes will have to battle a weird, wild army of invaders. Malevolent Manborgs, lethal Lazer Raptors, the terrifying Tri-Cannon (a bogus hybrid of Triceratops and minigun), and the diabolical Dictatorsaur.

With three of humanity’s worst villains sharing one giant dinosaur body, you’ll need the best our species can muster to even the odds. Call up heroes from the dawn of history like Julius Caesar (et tu, Reptiles?), medieval masters of war, like Robin Hood (take from the rich, shoot arrows at dinosaurs) and great minds of super-science like Albert Einstein – all things are relative, but we’re kicking the reptiles out of this family gathering!

There’s more to time travel than hopping in a DeLorean, phone booth, or retro police box. In Reptilian Rising you’ll use time energy on time-twisting abilities to throw the Reptilians for a loop. Create clones of your troops, call in reinforcements (we’ve got Scarface on speed-dial), or create time-gates to rush your heroes across the map double time.

If you can turn the tide without causing a temporal paradox, you can replay missions to tackle bonus objectives, hop between time periods to uncover secrets, and more.
