Hojo Studio will release The Godfeather: A Mafia Pigeon Saga on Switch, the developer announced today. It’ll be heading to Nintendo’s console in early 2024.
The game is officially described as “a mafia pigeon roguelike combining elements of stealth, open world exploration and poop.” More information can be found in the following overview:
Players take on the role of an associate in the pigeon underworld, tasked with taking back “the old neighborhood” – territory lost to their enemies, both human and bird alike.
The game’s “swoop & poop” gameplay takes place across a series of procedurally generated levels, each featuring a set of targets that need to be “dealt with” pigeon-style to achieve victory, before encountering a deadly area boss.
As the player progresses further, their legend increases among the pigeon underworld – could they be the next Godfeather?
Key Features
- Fast-paced “swoop & poop” gameplay – unleash terror on your enemies from above
- Dynamic procedurally generated levels split across three brutal neighborhoods, each filled with unique targets and hazards: The Suburbs (available in demo), The Boidwalk and The Town.
- Hot Pursuit – The enemy has spies everywhere. Get spotted by a cockatoo lookout and they’ll call the APD (Anti-Pigeon Drone) to capture you. You have seconds to find a tree or dumpster to hide in, or you’re busted.
- Earn Crumb & Golden Twigs to survive – In between runs, players can visit The Roost to fit out their pigeon with the very latest in boid technology – upgrading their abilities and equipping useful items to increase their chance of surviving a little longer each time.
- These streets are dangerous – Drones aren’t the only thing a pigeon has to worry about – cats stalk the rooftops, Lawn Karens have garden hoses trained at the sky and deadly owls are just waiting to swoop you at sunset.
- Epic Boss Encounters – Each neighborhood is guarded by a savage boss the pigeon must defeat before proceeding. Each requiring cunning, lightspeed precision and poop.
