Publisher JanduSoft, along with developer 9FingerGames, has announced the Metroidvania game Zapling Bygone for Switch. It will be available on March 9, 2023.
The main hook of the title is that players take down enemies and steal their abilities by wearing their skulls and absorbing their consciousness into your hive-mind. Further information can be found below.
Every ability is gained by killing a boss and stealing their skull. These abilities allow you to transverse the world in new and exciting ways as well as help you destroy your opponents.
Explore a vast, dangerous and interconnected world with only you and your skulls as company. Reveal each biome in the world by collecting the skulls of people who lived in them.
Explore and conquer 6 biomes, each with their own enemies, bosses and backstory. When wearing the skulls of your foes you will gain access to their memories and unlock comic strip panels representing major events in their lives. The skulls will even talk to you throughout your adventure.
