City of Brass coming to Nintendo Switch on February 8th
City of Brass, the Arabian Nights-inspired first-person rogue-lite adventure from the BioShock veterans at Uppercut Games, is coming to Nintendo Switch on February 8th, 2019.
Enter the legendary City of Brass and plunder treasures within its cursed walls. You’ll be armed with a bullwhip and blades when you start your grand journey, lashing and slashing through legions of the dead. During all of this you’ll be trying to escape the maze-like metropolis while avoiding its deadly traps.
City of Brass revolves around a rhythmic interplay between melee combat and movement. Your whip can used both in and out of battle, for example you can use this to disarm foes. The whip can also be used to grab faraway objects and swing to safety, or manipulate booby traps littered throughout the mythical metropolis, turning the environment on its unwitting denizens.
City of Brass forces players to put their newfound knowledge to the test by using environments where the labyrinthine streets shift on every turn. But the challenge can also be tailored to every individual with the Blessings & Burdens system, which provides a wealth of modifiers to adjust the difficulty and game feel with optional modifiers to various game systems, including player health, damage output, item cost, and more.
The Nintendo Switch version will launch with three unlockable characters alongside the starting duo including Fool and Traveler. The three characters include Brigand, a fast but frail knife-fighter, Soldier, a spear-thrower and Hellion, strong but slow. Each of them bring something different to the table making sure the experience stays fresh.
“City of Brass brings the stories from Arabian Nights to life in a fast-paced hack-and-slash adventure that draws on our team’s experience working on titles like the BioShock series,” said Ed Orman, co-founder and designer, Uppercut Games. “We’ve continued to support the game since it launched earlier this year and look forward to introducing it to a new audience with all those improvements baked in when City of Brass comes to Nintendo Switch this February.”
This new release also features a myriad of enhancements made to the game since its initial launch, including new relics, weapons, enemies, and various quality of life improvements.
City of Brass is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam. The game is available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, and Chinese language options.
