Dr. Kucho! Games has finally announced when Moons of Darsalon will land on the Nintendo Switch, marketing it as a “retro action ‘save-them-all’ platformer” that blends advanced physics with a classic retro vibe.
In the game, you step into a universe where Darsanaut teams become stranded during their mining escapades on moons orbiting planet Darsalon. Your mission? To save them and guide them back to the safety of a nearby base station.
To ensure their safety, you’ll wield a laser gun to fend off lurking threats and enemies. You can also navigate gravity with your trusty jet pack, commandeer vehicles on land and in the air, reshape the terrain, or engineer new paths using the ground maker gun.
The developers have highlighted the standout features of Moons of Darsalon, including:
– An advanced platformer AI that adapts to changing terrains, calculates jump forces, and responds to light, including communication between NPCs.
– Voice commands that allow you to guide your companion NPCs.
– The ability to dynamically create and destroy ground.
– Fully interactive and realistic liquid physics.
– Authentic off-road vehicle handling.
– Nostalgic 8-bit music inspired by the MOS 6581 (SID) chip from 1982.
– Innovative 8-bit speech synthesis.
– A unique rendering approach that melds modern lighting with 2D sprites and 3D models, pixelated in real-time, using a limited color selection for that genuine retro appearance.
– An immersive CRT filter.
Digital copies of Moons of Darsalon will be available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch players worldwide from February 6, 2025.
