Exciting news from Top Hat Studios and Slime King Games as they announce their newest project, “Under The Island,” a captivating 2D action RPG that’s headed our way on the Nintendo Switch.
You’ll journey alongside Nia, the daring new girl on the block. She’s just arrived at Seashell Island but isn’t exactly hitting it off with Avocado, whose roots go deep as one of the island’s long-time residents. Things get serious when they stumble upon the alarming news that their beloved island is on the brink of a watery demise. Together, they embark on a mission to unravel the island’s hidden mysteries and hopefully save it before it’s swallowed by the sea.
The developers are aiming to bring back that sense of wonder and exploration from childhood—a time when every backyard adventure held the promise of undiscovered secrets. In this game, you’ll be pitted against fierce creatures, tackle complex puzzles, and roam through lush, vibrant landscapes buzzing with life. Along the way, you’ll bump into quirky characters, each with their own tales to share.
Here’s a taste of what you can expect:
Set off on a pulse-pounding escapade across the charming island, boasting more than six distinctive biomes that change dynamically with the cycle of day and night and shifting weather conditions.
Encounter a host of intriguing characters eager to weave their stories with yours—or feel free to get into some delightful banter with Avocado if that’s more your style.
Explore hazardous dungeons and mysterious caves—from conscious greenhouses to precarious ice realms and zany sawmills—all while collecting rare items and unlocking new skills to bolster your abilities.
Prepare for battle against bizarre foes like perpetually puking eggplants, subterranean-dwelling wolves, and walking onions looking to land a stalk-powered blow. Unearth new tactics, trying out different artifacts, spoils, and upgrades scattered throughout the island!
Each playthrough offers a fresh perspective with varied events and obstacles based on how and when you tackle them, ensuring a unique journey every time.
Delve into the storied history of the island, piecing together the puzzle of its impending doom.
Embrace the autonomy of self-directed exploration, meandering through hidden corners and uncovering secrets at your own rhythm.
Make friends with the local fauna, offering them treats—who knows, perhaps they’ll lend a helpful paw or wing!
“Under The Island” will be available for digital download via the Nintendo eShop globally, though we’re still waiting for an official release date.
