Doughlings: Arcade out on Switch next week
Posted on September 7, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Hero Concept announced today that the arcade brick breaker Doughlings: Arcade is landing on Switch next week. The game will launch on September 13, the studio has confirmed.
Doughlings: Arcade has brick breaker mechanics “with a fresh take on power-ups, character evolution, level design, and humorous narration.” More details and a trailer can be found below.
Rather than resting easy with a tested classic, Hero Concept has added new layers of clever play and game mechanics. Playing as Morpheus you are tasked with healing as many of your fellow Doughlings as possible in each level. The traditional power-up is revamped and instead, Doughlings offers the Show Off which when earned provides an effective and entertaining trait to use in each level.
Character evolution comes into play in a clever way with Doughlings in the form of unlocking additional personas. Personas are activated by DNA in a level and are limited time power-ups with special abilities. Each persona comes with its own unique Show Off trait providing alternate gameplay that results in creative strategies and humorous animations.
Doughlings is jam-packed with 90 levels with varying degrees of difficulty and gameplay that provides even the most seasoned brick breaker with a challenge. An additional layer of progression is present with Morpheus and his 6 alternate personas by collecting elixirs to activate even more powerful abilities.
If 90 levels aren’t enough, Doughlings also offers its own level creation engine. Players can design and share their custom-made levels, offering endless amounts of play time and challenges.
To put the icing on the cake, Doughlings is topped off with a comically narrated story that isn’t afraid to tell it like it is!
