In house developer and publisher DevilishGames has announced the upcoming arrival of their sidescrolling platformer King Lucas, coming for the Nintendo Switch.
Hail the mighty King Lucas!
With touches of adventure and Metroidvania inspired by the 8 and 16 bits classics, King Lucas shares similar traits to beloved side scrollers alike and puts out a pretty interesting story too. A distraught King after the departure of his Queen, he only has the love of his daughters around him. Each and every time they get lost in the castle, he moves heaven and earth to get them back and he only resorts to the most intrepid knights in order to find them. Will you be one of those knights?
Play the favour of King Lucas and help him find his loved ones. A castle will be randomly built and you must find them inside a little area of it. You can move horizontally and vertically through the rooms until you reach your goal. Once you succeed, the difficulty increases and a larger area will be unlocked. The experience will become more hardcore when the princess becomes lost inside a fully unlocked castle with more than 1,000 rooms. Explore each and every door to rescue the missing princesses!
- Get money and buy upgrades such us compasses and crystal balls, more weapons such us magical sticks and swords, or harder shields to protect yourself from the giant spiders, the armoured rats, the piranhas and the many other haunted beings in the castle.
- Talk and interact with a lot of NPCs who will play different funny and unexpected roles through your quest (yes, there’s some hidden story underneath the arcade!).
- Enjoy classic mechanics with a renewed graphic aspect that will delight the 80s and 90s adventure platform game lovers.
King Lucas will be released for the Nintendo Switch on February 21st. Check out the games page on the Nintendo eShop here.
