Pixel-Art platformer Anyaroth comes to Nintendo Switch

The pixel-art platform adventure game Anyaroth: The Queen’s Tyranny will release on Nintendo Switch this month. It is available to preorder now on the NA Nintendo Store and via the EU Store directly through the console, with a limited-time 10% discount.

Anyaroth: The Queen’s Tyranny, from indie publisher Firenut Games and developer Yggdraseed Studios, takes players deep into the depths of Anyaroth, a planet besieged by the tyranny of its Queen. Players fight with the rebellion to free the Anya civilization from the Regime’s mind-control system and discover the secrets hidden deep in the planet. 

Anyaroth, a planet entirely under the control of the Queen, is dying. From the once lush forests and historical cities of its surface to deep down to the planet’s core, the Queen has spun a complex web of barracks, factories and mines to exploit all the planet’s resources as well as its population. The Queen’s Regime is spreading, and it must be stopped. 

As a rebellion fighter, you must take on the challenge of bringing down the Regime and returning the planet to harmony. Utilising and combining an arsenal of weapons, special objects and abilities, you must explore the game’s fighting system to dispatch your enemies in stylish ways. Use your links with the rebels to learn more about the mysterious world of Anyaroth, its history, and the Rebellion’s cause. Between fights, pay attention to your surroundings as you may find artefacts containing key information or materials for crafting a long-lost weapon and unveiling the secrets this strange planet hides.
