TOKYO – April 20, 2023 – LOST EPIC, the 2D Souls-like side-scrolling action RPG with fast-paced battles and hack-and-slash elements from publisher One or Eight and developer Team EARTH WARS, invades heavenly realms on Nintendo Switch today.

The tyrannical inhabitants of Sanctum deserve neither praise nor honor. Darken eternal deities’ doorstep as the God Slayer and destroy their sacred dwelling places to bring peace back to humanity. Bring gods to their knees in an unholy journey through a Metroidvania-like 2D world featuring character art by Namie (Fate/Grand Order, Arknights, Azur Lane).

Carve a path through legions of enemies, wrestling Anima from their remains to upgrade attack power and gear. Outfit the God Slayer with dozens of weapons and magic abilities, and embrace numerous playstyles with an extensive skill tree. Make eternal beings question their mortality with beautifully-animated Divine Skills dealing massive levels of damage, and lay waste to the Pantheon of Six to absorb their godlike powers.

Venture heavenward while navigating through six worlds, each a labyrinth protected by wicked minions. Circle back to previously-unreachable heights and depths with newfound powers to unlock secret areas full of valuable loot. Scour the corners of Sanctum in search of side quests, and encounter the Elite for epic boss battles yielding powerful rewards on the path to redemption. Craft healing and debuff items to prolong battles against near-invincible foes, and go fishing in heavenly waters for additional sustenance. 

Bear humanity’s burden with a partner in online cooperative multiplayer, and communicate with a heavenly language using visual-based stamps to overcome language barriers. Tackle raid bosses in Sky-Reaching Spire, and up the ante with New Game+ to unlock new rewards while basking in the glorious original soundtrack now available on Spotify, iTunes, and other music platforms.

LOST EPIC’s launch on Nintendo will feature all content introduced since the start of Early Access on Steam for PC, including the 1.01.7 update. Venture through all six worlds, the true final boss in the Abyss, new secrets, and Transcended weapons. Experience Sanctum in with new gameplay mechanics as an A.N.T.I. Soldier from EARTH’S DAWN, and slay gods from a distance using long-range weaponry. 

To commemorate the release of LOST EPIC on Nintendo Switch, EARTH WARS boasts a special 55% off sale until May 9th, 2023 at 11:59 PM PT. 

“Our community has been asking that we bring LOST EPIC  to the Nintendo Switch, and we’re happy to have been able to fulfill their request,” said Team EARTH WARS. “We are forever thankful for your support, and we look forward to a fresh group of slayers beginning their own epic journeys. See you in Sanctum!”

TOKYO – April 20, 2023 – Arcana of Paradise -The Tower-, the real-time roguelike deckbuilding adventure developed by Tasto Alpha and published by SHUEISHA GAMES, (previously titled The Tower -To the Bottom-), launchestodayon Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch with a 22% launch discount ending on April 26th.

Embark on a tarot-inspired, topsy-turvy journey from the mind of Masaoki Shindo (Ruri Dragon) and Tom Ikeda (Black Bird, Rule of Rose, Director) complimented by an eccentric soundtrack by Jun Fukuda (No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw). Tend to the survival of a fellowship of kids isolated at the top of a mysterious tower. Venture into the cavernous halls below in search of sustenance, treasure, and a rumored paradise while defending against an onslaught of malevolent monsters.

Buddy up to form the perfect duo and descend into the belly of the Tower. Strategically choose from a total of 20 playable children across 3 classes with distinct starting cards and passive traits, then build a deck with more than 100 tarot-inspired playing cards.

Unleash cards wisely and quickly, as the real-time card combat akin to Active Time Battles from classic RPGs requires quick-draw reflexes. Place offensive cards in rapid succession to string together devastating combos, and assume a protective stance with shield cards played in advance of enemy attacks. Combine defensive cards with perfect timing to parry incoming strikes that put opponents in a daze, and keep healing cards on hand to prolong survival. 

Reshuffle the deck if dealt a bad hand, paying close attention to card orientation. An upside-down card can flip battle plans in an instant with surprising effects both positive and negative. Every victorious skirmish results in a choice – will the party return with additional bread to feed their fellow Tower mates, or continue to stack the deck in their favor with battle cards to delve deeper into the depths of the Tower?

Unlock new cards, children and items during each run, encounter peculiar inhabitants of the Tower, and unravel the mystery of the Sacred Tree requiring the sacrifice of life-giving bread for special rewards. Toting a full deck and looking for a fresh challenge? Race to the bottom in Online Ranked Mode to challenge the highest-skilled pairings on the planet.

“Arcana of Paradise -The Tower-’s real-time twist freshens up the deckbuilding genre,” says Koichi Sugiyama, lead producer of Arcana of Paradise -The Tower- for SHUEISHA GAMES. “We’ve dreamt up amazing card synergies, and we look forward to being surprised by clever combos now that PC and Switch owners can build their own decks.”

Arcana of Paradise -The Tower- is now available on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC for $19.99 with a 22% discount available from launch day until April 26th, and the official soundtrack is available for $9.99. Language support includes English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese text.

Navigate a vibrant, ancient world wrought with destruction as a resurrected adventurer who perished in the ruins.
