Lode Runner Legacy was announced for Switch in Japan this week. Fortunately, the game will be released in other territories as well. The game is confirmed for a worldwide launch this spring.

Lode Runner Legacy features the best parts of the original 1983 game with a modern twist. The main goal is to regain stolen gold from the enemies in the Evil Empire’s labyrinth by blasting floors, a technique players can use to strategically capture gold or trap enemies.

We have more details and the previously-posted trailer for Lode Runner Legacy below.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

Carlos Coronado has announced that his non-linear first-person survival game Infernium is coming to Switch. Expect it on the eShop “really, really soon”.

Infernium has enemies that you generally can’t kill or damage, meaning you’ll be chased quite a bit. You’ll need to make your way through 17 interconnected non-linear levels in a persistent world. New Game+ and multiple endings should keep the experience fresh. The game is also confirmed to run at 720p and 30 frames per second on Switch.
