Developed by Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks, this game brings players into a world that blends post-apocalyptic settings with elements from Scandinavian mythology. Players will navigate the intriguing journey of Freja and Mud, encountering mythical creatures and exploring the remnants of a lost civilization.
Headup’s CEO, Dieter Schoeller, expressed excitement about this partnership, noting the game’s unique combination of folklore-inspired storytelling, fast-paced gameplay, and striking retro visuals. These elements together create an experience that players will find both engaging and memorable.
The publisher has highlighted several standout features of the game. Players can expect an adaptable combat system, allowing for creative battles and dynamic enemy encounters. Unique finishing moves provide opportunities for stylish takedowns, while multi-stage boss fights against mythical creatures require strategic thinking and agility.
The game world is meticulously handcrafted, combining elements of beauty and decay. The environment tells stories through its blend of modern ruins overtaken by nature and the supernatural. Players will find themselves immersed in a world that challenges them to explore deeply while keeping up with the action.
Scheduled for digital release on the Nintendo eShop, “Vessels of Decay” is set to become available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch in the summer of 2025.
