MO: Astray first debuted and released for PC via Steam back on 25th October 2019 with overwhelmingly positive reviews is now spearheading its way into Switch as announced by publisher Rayark Inc in collaboration with indie developer Archpray. Free updates such as “Timed Mode” and “Disaster Mode” will be added in Spring 2020
Details of both updates found in Nintendo Soup:
- Timed Mode: Displays the players’ gameplay time, as well as the start and end time within quests. Via specially designed interfaces and mechanisms, players will have a chance to take on a “speed run,” where players try to complete the game in the shortest time possible, comparing their runs with players from around the world to see who is the best.
- Disaster Mode: For players who have already completed quests, they will be able to face even more difficult gameplay content including obstacles, game values, puzzles, and other evident changes. When players are playing this mode they will be able to experience the “evil” of the development team when they had initially imagined the quests by putting it back in the game. This will bring with it a much more intense difficulty level.
