Lunark, an indie game on crowdraising platform Kickstarter, is finally making its way to Nintendo Switch.
About Lunark
The game successfully hit its Nintendo Switch stretch goal of CAD80,000, so you can expect it to come to the system in 2020.
Lunark is a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of ’80s and ’90s classics such as Prince of Persia and Flashback. Run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot your way through mysterious alien ruins, a flying penitentiary, a high-tech megalopolis, and a majestic forest.
As Earth became inhospitable, Noah, an AI whose sole purpose was to preserve humanity, was created. Noah chose the Moon as humanity’s Ark – renamed Lunark – using it as a ship to evacuate a handful of chosen ones to the nearest superhabitable planet. Unfortunately, whether the planet was inhabited or not was not part of Noah’s programming.
Centuries later, you play as Leo, an orphan rejected for being… different. You’ll retrace your origins in the midst of a rebellion against the totalitarian regime of Lunark, and meet a wide cast of colorful characters, stuck on either side of the escalating conflict.
