Chucklefish’s rail-riding adventure Eastward hits Switch in September
Eastward is a charming adventure title by Pixpil from Shanghai. It will be available for Nintendo Switch in September. The release was announced at Wednesday’s Nintendo Indie World showcase. Eastward first appeared in 2018. It is available for Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac.
The story takes place in a fantasy setting where society is at the edge of collapse, decreasing the population. The protagonist’s John and Sam, are played by the player. They use their unique abilities to discover cosy towns, secret lairs and toxic wastes. The world is ravaged by toxic miasma, and all humanity has fled underground. John and Sam, a miner and a young girl with kinetic and frying pan powers decide to explore the world beyond underground sanctuaries. They set off on a road trip across America.
Chucklefish is the publisher of Eastward. They also publish Stardew Valley, Risk of Rain and Starbound, and have developed Wargroove and Starbound. Eastward fits perfectly in that portfolio. Fans will be able to access the strange world this September.
The Super Mario Bros. movie is infamously terrible. It was so bad that it ended all hopes for video game adaptations for years. Or so they claim. What if Super Mario Bros. wasn’t so bad? Jenna explores the history of Super Mario Bros. and discovers the reasons it is so hated. You might even want to see it yourself.
