High noon beckons as West of Loathing is coming to Switch


Asymmetric released their wacky western, West of Loathing last year on multiple platforms, but overnight during the recent Nindies Direct, it was announced the game was coming to Switch.



Inspired by the humor, whimsy, and storytelling of classic adventure/RPGs Quest for Glory and Paper Mario, West of Loathing is a single player role-playing game set in a slapstick stick figure rendition of the wild frontier. Leave your family farm and head west to find your fortune in this huge, humorous adventure brimming with branching storylines, tactical turn-based combat, and big hats. 


The game was released onto PC, Mac and Linux last year and is set to come to mobile this as well, but more details are expected soon for that. But soon, Switch players will be able to traverse snake-infested gulches, punch skeletons wearing cowboy hats, grapple with demon cows, and investigate a wide variety of disgusting spittoons -- nearly 100 unique locations to explore.
