Ravenswatch review

System: Switch
Release date: January 23, 2025
Developer: Passtech Games
Publisher: Nacon


“Once upon a time” is an almost universally recognised phrase, beginning tales that many of us will have heard before, and will almost certainly follow a familiar pattern. There will be a hero, a villain, and in the end the former will defeat the latter, and the tale will have a happy ending. In modern interpretations of these classic tales at least, it’s rare that you’ll find one that doesn’t have a happy ending, unless it has been deliberately contrived for the sake of provoking shock in the audience, which it typically fails to do, being so exaggerated as to feel more cliche than original. Ravenswatch, the second game to be developed by Passtech Games, is an extremely rare example of this inversion of fairy tales done right, with some solid roguelike gameplay to back it up.

The Nintendo Switch version of Ravenswatch arrived this week, and we’ve got a launch trailer. The video gives fans a closer look at the top-down roguelike action title, which is made by Curse of the Dead Gods developer Passtech Games.

Learn more about it in the following overview:

The Nintendo Switch version of Ravenswatch secured a release date today. It’ll head to Nintendo’s console on January 23, 2025.

Ravenswatch was originally unveiled for Nintendo Switch at the start of 2023. The game first came to PC in September, so it’s taking a bit longer to launch on the console.

Publisher Nacon and developer Passtech Games – the studio behind Curse of the Dead Gods – today confirmed plans to bring Ravenswatch to Switch. The full launch is scheduled for 2024.

Ravenswatch is a cooperative roguelite for up to four players, inspired by famous tales and legends from all over the world, and the game has players confronting the hordes of Nightmares, which are corrupting the world of Reverie.
