Retro-inspired FPS Kvark announced for Switch

Perun Creative and Latest Past today announced Kvark, a retro-inspired first-person shooter. The project is planned for Switch, but a release window hasn’t been shared.

Kvark is set in the late 80s of the post-Soviet Czech Republic and kicks off when you start a new job working for a pure nuclear energy company looking for miners to work in the uranium mines. But after onboarding at reception, it’s unclear what happens next as you wake up alone in a dark cell.

Here’s some information about the actual gameplay:

Kvark is a retro-inspired FPS that pays homage to such games as Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, and Wolfenstein 3D. Born out of a love for the genre, developed on Unreal Engine 5, and improved with modern solutions such as up-to-date rendering techniques and adaptive audio, the game should make all who still remember late nights spent playing these classics feel right at home.

Key Features

• Fast-paced fights with a plethora of weapons, from wrenches to grenades, bazookas, and the iconic EK-48.
• Uniquely designed, diverse, and challenging enemies that require swift tactics and weapon swapping, quick thinking, and constant movement.
• Detailed, interactive levels that reward players willing to explore with hidden Easter eggs, additional perks, and achievements.
• Stylized retro graphics that bring old-school gaming nostalgia.
• A strong “just-one-more-level” vibe and loads of explosive fun!
