Abomi Nation out on Switch this month

It’s been a little while since we last heard about the Switch version of Abomi Nation, but the game just got a release date. Dangen Entertainment passed along with that it’ll be available on September 28, 2023.

Abomi Nation is a casual monster-taming roguelite developed by Orange Pylon Games. It was first announced for Switch in June 2022.

We have more information about the game in the following overview:

Inspired by the ‘Nuzlocke’ challenge, Abomi Nation sets out to spice up the monster-taming roguelite genre with its unique blend of characters and gameplay elements, and is designed to be amusingly replayable and customizable.

In the ever-changing world of ‘Abomi Nation,’ no two island runs or teams are alike, ensuring each playthrough is a unique and fun experience. The island of Abomi Nation itself is a living entity, transforming with each new run of the game. Adventurers will constantly face fresh challenges, towns, NPCs and discoveries as they explore the ever-evolving environment. Players can unlock new Abomi forms, explore new areas, and access a variety of items through successive runs.

The heart of Abomi Nation lies in its turn-based combat system, where mastering elements, strengths and weaknesses of enemies is the key to success. With over 175 enchanting ‘Abomis’ to befriend, players can build their dream team, each Abomi member offering unique abilities and charm. Unleash devastating attacks such as ‘Infernal Blast’ and ‘Quivering Quake,’ or rally their teammates with moves like ‘Speech!’

As the player’s adventure unfolds, the bond between any two Abomis will grow, causing them to behave differently when their friends are in danger. Abomis have different personalities from one another, and this will impact how multiple Abomis react to the same situation. Players can boost their team’s stats by eating together, playing minigames, and participating in all sorts of events offered by friendly townsfolk.

Players are given the reins to customize their journey according to their preferences. Whether they seek the thrill of permadeath or a more relaxed adventure, Abomi Nation caters to every player’s gaming style.

Moreover, Abomi Nation brings back beloved characters from Dangen Entertainment’s celebrated titles, Bug Fables: The Last Sapling and Disc Creatures, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement for fans.

Carl Pilon of Orange Pylon Games said of today’s news: “I’m so happy to finally bring fans these console ports of Abomi Nation. It’s such an exciting feeling, and I owe a big thank you to the porting manager at Dangen Entertainment who helped bring these to life. I’m looking forward to having Nintendo Switch players give it a try!”

Abomi Nation will be available digitally on the Switch eShop. Pre-orders start on September 7.
