Once a prosperous land teeming with mythical beasts and beings, it now rots from the inside, tainted by unknown forces. Odin’s chosen guardians of the realm are gone. In their absence, the sacred Elder Tree they swore to protect is exposed to abuse and manipulation. Now, the only remnants of hope reside in Estra, the daughter of mankind’s last great leader. With a heavy emphasis on narrative, Estra’s journey through Midgard is filled with Nordic lore, mysterious twists, and consequential decisions. Players will converse with a variety of characters and share in Estra’s discoveries as she learns more about her family’s past and the looming darkness spreading across the realm. ## [](#interactive-story)Interactive Story Estra’s path is fraught with difficult decisions and untrustworthy characters that can lead her astray. Her story is intertwined with the player’s ability to discern fact from fiction and to decide right from wrong. Avoid battle, help companions, save your people, but remember that the consequences are Estra’s to bear. ### [](#puzzles)Puzzles Along the way, players must solve incrementally challenging puzzles that reveal insightful secrets, fantastical abilities, and hidden passageways. While trial and error is useful, patience is necessary. Not every problem allows for multiple mistakes and failure is most certainly an option. The answers you seek may be lost if you make the wrong decision. ### [](#combat)Combat Violence isn’t always necessary, but, when push comes to shove, ATONE’s combat is a delicate dance of sword and axe. Combat is grounded in the rhythm game genre and the mechanics of titles like Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution. Music is a crucial component, with each fight receiving its very own song. ### [](#music)Music ATONE’s music and sound design are composed by Australian artist, Luminist (a.k.a. James Shuar), who blends a synth-heavy score with the digitally corrupted sounds of period-specific instruments. ### Release info - ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree Release date 2023-01-27 00:00:00 Publisher Untold Tales Demo available DLC available Max players 1 Age rating 16 NS Online support Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, dutch, portuguese, russian, korean, chinese Genres action, adventure, fighting, rpg ### Nintendo eShop - ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/NL/nl/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/BE/nl/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/DE/de/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/FR/fr/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [GBP 13.49](https://ec.nintendo.com/GB/en/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [USD 14.99](https://www.nintendo.com/US/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CAD 20.99](https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/IT/it/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [MXN 355.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-mx/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/PT/pt/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/ES/es/titles/70010000059795/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [ARS 2497.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-ar/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [BRL 77.0](https://www.nintendo.com/pt-br/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CLP 12790.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-cl/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [COP 65700.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-co/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [PEN 54.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-pe/store/products/atone-heart-of-the-elder-tree-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) Show me all prices!
