Anodyne comes to Switch this month


After having a successful release last year on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, local publisher Nnooo and US developer Analgesic Productions have announced that Anodyne will release on Nintendo Switch on February 28, which is just under two weeks away.



Anodyne takes place in the haunting, vibrant subconscious mind of the game’s protagonist, Young. You are tasked with navigating the various natural, urban and abstract environments within Young’s innermost self to help sweep away demons, defeat enemies and solve Young’s personal puzzles with their only weapon, a trusty broom! Clear out the dungeons, meander through Young’s own mind, and collect cards to advance further into the game as Young grows in confidence and ability, ready to rescue The Legendary Briar from the Evil Darkness. 

"A major inspiration for Anodyne was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening so we think the game will resonate with Nintendo fans. While Anodyne pays homage to the 16-bit era, Analgesic Productions have created a unique action-adventure game with their own unusual mix of darkness and humour."

"It's an amazing opportunity to be able to bring Anodyne to Nintendo Switch! I'm excited to have new players discover the dreamy atmosphere of Anodyne for the first time, and experience our surreal twist on the 2D Zelda genre. Likewise, to our longtime fans who have been eagerly anticipating this release: thank you for the support! I hope everyone will enjoy playing Anodyne on Nintendo Switch!"

The game is out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so if you own those consoles and have not checked it out, go and do so. The game is also on PC, with the sequel due sometime in mid 2019, you can buy that below.
