Nine Parchments Preview
Frozenbyte, developers of the Trine series and Has-Been Heroes has a new game in development for the Nintendo Switch: Nine Parchments. Described as a co-operative blast’em up game of magic mayhem, the original title will support up to four players locally or online.
Nine Parchments features a group of drop-out wizard apprentices who decide to skip training for a quick path to the Nine Parchments. With hazardous enemies and wondrous monsters standing in their way, it won’t be easy to overcome the challenges ahead.
The game features a top-down viewpoint, not unlike Diablo. The graphics are bright and colorful and the game seems to focus on ranged attacks since it appears the players will have a wide variety of spells at their disposal. This could be a really fun co-op game for the Switch if it all turns out well. We’ll have more as the game approaches launch later this year!
Frozenbyte is excited to announce that the co-operative blast’em up game Nine Parchments is coming to Nintendo Switch!
Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen commented on the announcement:
“We love Nintendo Switch! We’ve been ecstatic about the success of our roguelike action game Has-Been Heroes, and we love all the improvements made to the development environment, it’s a great platform! Nine Parchments is a wonderful co-op game and feels like a perfect fit for the system. We can’t wait to unleash the wizard mayhem later this year!”
