Developed by Raven Travel Studios, Cast of the Seven Godsends is arriving on Switch later this week, bringing a dose of classic 2D, run ’n gun, action-shooter gameplay along for the ride.
The evil emperor Zaraaima has kidnapped the infant heir to the land of Dareca. King Kandar must call upon the aid of the seven gods of Dareca as he traverses the six worlds of his kingdom in a bid to save his son, battling his way through dark woods, slimy swamps, sinister mills, infernal volcanos, snowy mountains, golden cities and demonic castles. To help complete this quest, you can use god-given armour, wield different weapons, and cast fanatical spells.
Here are some key features of the game:
