A final launch trailer has been released for Of Blades & Tails, which landed on Nintendo Switch this week. Pineapple Works brought over the 2D turn-based open-world RPG.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

A turn-based RPG that is action-oriented but rewards a thoughtful approach. Explore a fantastic land populated by different animal tribes. Follow the main story or hunt for treasures in ancient ruins and mysterious dungeons. Develop your character and gain powerful equipment.
You play Reik, a clever member of the tribe of foxes. A chain of unfortunate events involves you in a quest of vital importance to all the peace-loving creatures of the realm. You will have to leave your home village and explore the world to become strong enough to stand up to evil.
The gameplay is inspired by classic Hack & Slash RPGs. However there is no permanent death in this game. It aims to be an accessible and entertaining Action-RPG.
As you explore the land, you’ll gain experience and unlock new abilities. Not all inhabitants will be friendly to you. Some will help you with information, others are only interested in trading, and still others will get in your way.
Improve your equipment and collect useful resources in the environment to have a decisive advantage in battle.
