Minoria planned for physical release on Switch
Posted on April 6, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Following its previous Switch eShop appearance a few years ago, Minoria is now receiving the physical treatment on Switch. Limited Run Games is in charge of production.
Both a standard version and collector’s edition are in the works. The latter includes various extras, including a cloth poster, a soundtrack, and a Sister Semilla figure alongside a physical copy of the game.
We first saw Minoria on Switch in September 2020. More information can be found below.
Ink and blood stain the streets of Ramezia. Witches must burn and sins must be judged. Venture forth as Sister Semilla to burn down the pillars of heresy in Minoria, an action-platformer by the creators of Momodora.
The story takes place during the fourth Witch War. It is a time of fanatical religious fervor. The Sacred Office, a powerful organization leading an Inquisition against heresy, purges the sinners who threaten humanity. Those responsible for conducting a mysterious ceremony that contradicts the rules of the Church are labeled “witches.” Now, Sisters Semilla and Fran, missionaries in the Church’s service, set out to thwart the witches’ ceremony and protect the common-folk from heresy that endangers the status quo.
Minoria is the latest and most ambitious game from Bombservice and a spiritual sequel to the Momodora series. Fans of Momodora will find familiar aspects in the design and gameplay elements, as they master the ins-and-outs of parries, dodges, and a variety of different spells. Now in HD format, with aesthetics mixing 2D hand-painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters, Minoria continues Bombservice’s legacy on consoles.
