Roguelike 3D Space Shooter Everspace Launches on Nintendo Switch
Independent developer ROCKFISH Games announced that Everspace, the surprise hit on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is now also available on Nintendo Switch. After a successful Kickstarter campaign (€420,252 was raised) in 2015, the intense Sci-Fi roguelike space shooter has enjoyed great success on the various platforms. The launch of Everspace – Stellar Edition in the Nintendo eShop is their next step. A boxed version will hit physical shops as well as online retail stores in Europe and North America early next year too.
Everspace – Stellar Edition includes the base game, the Encounters add-on, the original soundtrack with over 60 titles as well as an interactive art book in-game. The 33 achievements can be found in-game as well. Both, the digital and the boxed version retail for $39.99 / €39.99 / £35.99.
“We’re thrilled to announce the eagerly awaited launch of EVERSPACE – Stellar Edition on Nintendo Switch, which looks and plays stunningly after updating the entire project to Unreal Engine 4.20 and some further optimization deep down in the game code”, said Michael Schade, CEO at ROCKFISH Games, “We believe that EVERSPACE is a must buy for every space game enthusiast on Nintendo Switch not only because it is one of the prettiest action games on the platform. Thanks to its roguelike mechanics and bite-sized game sessions it is also the perfect fit for some intense space action anywhere at home and on the go, and we look forward to adding loads of new interstellar pilots to our roster.”
This is the developer’s debut game which features a modern interpretation of popular roguelike game mechanics and fast-paced 3D space combat with tight shooter-style controls. Driven by a captivating storyline, Everspace sends players on an action-packed journey through dozens of procedurally-generated levels, challenging even the most daring pilots in an all-out fight for survival within a beautiful yet treacherous space environment. You’ll also find a stand-alone Hardcore Mode with a perma-death and a new boss fight in an entirely revamped end sector, offering an extra challenge for all die-hard roguelike fans and veteran players.
