Roadwarden, the award-winning illustrated text-based adventure is releasing on Nintendo Switch on 25 August.
Set in a gritty, low-fantasy world full of mystery, danger, and moral dilemmas, Roadwarden puts players in the boots of a solitary traveller tasked with exploring an untamed peninsula. The game combines isometric pixel art, deep narrative design, and RPG elements such as inventory puzzles, dialogue choices, character builds, and survival mechanics. Key features include:
- Explore a mysterious peninsula full of secrets, dangers and hidden stories
- Get lost in a richly detailed low-fantasy world
- Play as a warrior, mage or scholar, shaping your character’s abilities, beliefs and personality
- Engage in deep dialogue and make the right choices to shape the world
- Combine text-based storytelling and RPG systems across a 30+ hour campaign
This one has been on my Steam backlog for a long time now, with the little I played making me think of a text-based Witcher title. Having it on the Switch might nudge me towards playing it properly. Take a look at the trailer:
There’s a 20% discount running on the eshop until 15 September, meaning you can get the game for just £7.91, down from the usual price of £9.89.
Roadwarden lands on Nintendo Switch on 25 August.
