TOKYO — March 7, 2023 — Pronty, the aquatic Metroidvania from developers 18Light Game Ltd., FunZone Games, Joy Brick Inc., and published by Happinet under the Happinet Indie Collection, takes the plunge onto the Nintendo Switch eShop today.
The once-peaceful underwater domain of Royla has fallen victim to a peculiar pollution mutating fishy friends into fearsome foes terrorizing the aquatic city. Embark on a deep-sea adventure as Pronty and his trusty robotic swordfish companion Bront in search of the source of evil corrupting the kingdom.
Trawl through open ocean, cavernous mazes, and debris-filled coves scattered across a colorful underwater Atlantis full of puzzles and secrets. Venture to the seafloor and face off against over 40 types of creatures, including mutant trash and monstrous sea devils.
Dive deeper and deeper to encounter increasingly ghastly and corrupted foes. Swim with the sharks as Pronty dashes, dodges and tumbles past floundering enemies with quick movement abilities in “zero-gravity” Metroidvania action. Turn mutant scum into chum using Bront’s long-range combat options capable of repelling projectiles and breaking through obstacles.
Equip hot-swappable abilities on Pronty’s memory board to create the optimal build for every fishy situation. For the most skilled amphibians, head straight towards Neptune’s Hall and put Pronty and Bront’s skills to the ultimate test in the Boss Rush mode. Submerge in a colorful line-art style backdrop and comic book-esque cutscenes complimented by an ominous soundtrack.
“We are excited to bring the undersea epic of Pronty to the Nintendo Switch,” said Ariel Pang, Joy Brick Inc., Overseas Business Division Manager. “We look forward to players exploring the depths in between real-life aquatic adventures.”
Pronty is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $14.99/€14.99/£13.99. For more information, please visit the official website, and follow @18lightgame and #Pronty on Twitter.
