Pixel platformer "Renaine" announced for Switch

Renaine is a cute n’ colorful game about an immortal knight on an epic quest through a world of gorgeously animated characters with ridiculous problems. The game is coming to Switch sometime in 2024 courtesy of Limited Run Games, and you can check out the debut trailer above.

Hey boyo, Mr. Octopus here and you’re in for a wild ride. This game’s Renaine, and I’m your favorite shopkeeper here to walk you through the setup!

This here’s Aine, she’s an orange knight with a feather to pick with a Dragon who did her dirty. That’s no good, but what can ya do? Lucky for her, boyo, she can take a spin at this whole “life” as many times as she needs to cause’ she’s the Phoenix Knight! pretty neat huh? Especially cause she’ll need it, boyo! She’s gotta go through the entire kingdom of Lineria, from the mechanized forest of Shellwood to the steep climb of Eastwest Mountain, she’s gotta hop bop n’ roll through it all!

But yanno, life’s not all about violence, boyo, this whole kingdom’s full of oddballs, weirdos, serious individuals with deep backstories, and octopi looking for some help! Do the whole ‘hero’ thing enough times and they’ll give you emblems to mess around with that’ll let you change up the game! That’s in addition to secret feathers, bestiary entries, permanent upgrades, and all that good stuff that makes a game worth playing, boyo, this is the full deal!

That’s all I gotta say, boyo, find me in the game at my Very Special Item Shop (TM) and you’ll see for yourself!

Renaine is a game about overcoming failure. Aine, the Phoenix Knight, is tasked by fate to destroy the legendary Dragon. Should she die, she will return. Again and again until the Dragon is slain.

Hop, Bop and Roll through Lineria, the world of Renaine! Chat up a cast of colorful characters! Solve problems! Fail! A lot! Overcome failure! Fail again! Lots of fun in Renaine!
