Action-platformer Chronicles of 2 Heroes heading to Switch

Publisher Catness Games and developer Infinity Experience have announced Chronicles of 2 Heroes, an action-platformer set in feudal Japan. A release is slated for 2022 on Switch.

Here’s a rundown of the game’s premise:

Between 400 and 600 A.D., Amaterasu’s wrath dragged feudal Japan into a time of wars, famine, and epidemics. Her disciple, Empress Imiko, rule over Japan with an iron fist and imposes terror with her mighty army. All hopes rest on two siblings: Kensei the samurai and Ayame the kunoichi. The first is fearsome with his katana, while the second is fast and lethal. Together they must reach the imperial capital of Osaka to steal the source of the empress’s power: the three sacred treasures. It will be a true challenge as they will have to defeat yokai, ronin and even Amaterasu herself.

One of the primary mechanics of Chronicles of 2 Heroes involves switching between the protagonists in real-time. The different characters offer unique combat styles that can also be combined. Other than that, players can expect a pixel-art look, a soundtrack featuring award-winning Eric W. Brown (The Messenger, Sea of Stars), up to 20 unlockable skills, and 8-12 hours of playtime.

We have a trailer for Chronicles of 2 Heroes below.
