Molochoir, Metroidvania survival horror game, coming to Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
A little while back, Pupa Productions was able to secure funding for Molochoir. Fans helped bring the project to life by raising just over £25,000. Also, the funding goal included Switch as one of the target platforms.
Molochoir is officially described as a Metroidvania survival horror game. The premise is that players tale on the role of someone that’s one of the weakest species in the world. You will primarily “be recovering health with the proboscis and risking that health to cast a variety of dangerous self harming magic to take down the eldritch horrors that stand in your way.”
One way in which players can survive in Molochoir is with a melee attack – specifically thanks to a retractable knife whip that deals minor damage and recovers a small amount of health by exsanguinating blood from enemies. However, in order to use it, you have to be very close to an enemy. Additionally, it won’t work if the creature you face can’t bleed. The blood magic “Hemomancy” can also be utilized, but this costs a varying portion of health.

A Frog’s Tale, turn-based RPG inspired by Mario & Luigi and more, on track for Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
A Kickstarter campaign previously opened for A Frog’s Tale, a turn-based RPG. It did quite well with the project exceeding its $50,000 target. In the end the amount actually stands at over $100,000, which was more than double the goal.
The crowdfunding campaign was held “to fund continued development of the playable demo version of A Frog’s Tale.” The team “set a reasonable goal amount with the intention of furthering development enough to land us the rest of the funding we need to complete the game from outside sources.” Thankfully, the goal was met, and a Switch version is an important target.
