Bouncing-bullet cowboy brawler Ricochet Rodeo coming to Switch

Echidna Studios’ new game Ricochet Rodeo will be made available on Switch, the developer has announced. It’s slated for 2025 on Nintendo’s console.

Ricochet Rodeo is a bouncing-bullet brawler with a pixel-rendered cowboy aesthetic. Up to eight people can play together locally or online.

Additional details can be found in the following overview:

Welcome to the Ricochet Rodeo – a fast-paced, bouncing-bullet, multiplayer free-for-all.

In Ricochet Rodeo all projectiles, explosions and interactions are physics based which multiplies the chaos and opens the doors to competitive skill. In a game where bullets bounce and 1 hit kills, you may just as likely take yourself out.

Dodging ricochets is only half the battle – you need to use all the available tools to survive and win. Your knife is the best choice to dominate CQC between reloads and if you’ve got the reflexes, you can even deflect bullets, but no knife can deflect a well-timed stick of dynamite.

Up to 8 friends can enter the fray from the same couch or join you. Each round you’ve got three minutes to rack up the most kills in free-for-all, death matches.

Set in a classic spaghetti western theme and tumbleweed backdrops, Ricochet Rodeo features pixel-rendered art that produces a chunky low-res feel with bullet trails and bits of debris.

As you immerse yourself in the chaos, angles become your friends. Elevate the mayhem by placing the ricochets where you want them, flip tables to tank bullets and learn the art of shooting dynamite out of the sky.
