Get ready, gamers! Thunderful and Tag Of Joy have locked in September 28th as the day their point-and-click saga, Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit, drops on Nintendo Switch.
An Artistic Powerhouse Directs the Visuals
This title has got some serious creds. Leading the visual feast is the art director from Broken Sword 2.5. The game ropes in voices you’ve probably heard while sailing through The Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle, Horizon Forbidden West, and The Wolf Among Us. So yeah, the squad’s got chops.
A Journey Through Eastern Europe’s Hidden Histories
The game ain’t just eye-candy. You’ll be steering Milda through locations inspired by Eastern Europe’s under-the-radar histories. Got a letter from your deceased Lithuanian granddad hinting at some family secrets? You bet that kicks off a deep dive into relics, royalty, and yes, even some Soviet-era KGB shenanigans.
Puzzles, Costumes, and Characters, Oh My!
Prepare to flex those gray cells. The game tosses in everything from anonymous messages to logic puzzles, not to mention some classic item juggling. Want to switch up Milda’s style while solving these brain-teasers? Go ahead, it’s not just about looking good; sometimes it’s about fitting into the mystery at hand.
Star-Studded Voice Cast Elevates the Experience
Milda’s vocal cords come courtesy of Erin Yvette, whose resume boasts roles in God of War Ragnarok, Genshin Impact, and The Walking Dead. She’s flanked by Matthew Curtis and adventure game icon Denny Delk, who you’ll remember from Return To Monkey Island and a Star Wars series or two.
A Perfect Fit for the Switch
Šarūnas Ledas, the game director, reckons the Switch is the ideal platform for Crowns and Pawns. “We think it’s the perfect console platform for a game like this,” he stated, emphasizing how stoked they are to introduce this gem to a new breed of adventure aficionados.
So mark your calendars, folks. Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is about to hit the Switch, and it’s packing enough mysteries, puzzles, and story to keep you hunting for clues well into the night.
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch
