Watch 10 minutes of exclusive new gameplay.
2D action-platformer The Adventure Pals will be releasing on Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC next Spring. In an update from when it was announced earlier this year, a Switch version has now been confirmed for the same window.
We’ve got an exclusive first look at 10 minutes of The Adventure Pals co-op gameplay, with a few small cuts to jump over some still in-development moments. Watch it here:
The Adventure Pals is a 2D action brawler with drop-in co-op, and looks a bit like Castle Crashers crossed with a platformer like Scribblenauts. You explore an overworld map visiting towns and completing quests for their colorful inhabitants, assisted by your magic giraffe, Sparkles.
Developer Massive Monster ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for Adventure Pals late last year that raised over £22,000. The studio has previously worked on games in the Sushi Cat series, as well as various flash games on Armor Games, which is Adventure Pals’ publisher.
We’ll be going hands-on with Adventure Pals at PSX next month, and will let you know what we think after we play it.
