Profane, winner of Best Action Game in Tencent’s Games Without Borders Awards, releasing Feb. 28th, 2020 on Switch

Alternative Software Ltd., the leading independent publisher, is delighted to announce the launch on Nintendo SwitchTM of twin-stick shooter Profane . Developed by OverPowered Team, and recent winner of Best Action Game in Tencent’s Games “Without Borders Awards”, Profane challenges players to defeat enemies before the clock runs out. Time is money and health, so split-second decisions are as vital as dexterity in this awesome bullet hell romp.

Cited for its intriguing time system, where the challenge, skill consumption and damage are all reflected in the time limit, as well as its enormous fun and all-round excellence, Profane gears up for its release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch as a new champion within the shmup genre.

In Profane players embody Talaal, the last of an ancient God’s seven masks. Talaal finds a bearer just in time to fight against its siblings that now want to absorb the awesome power within the mask. The bearer is now trapped in a cycle of war that that seems impossible to break.

Profane features:

Award winning time-based health and skill system

Customisable ability loadouts allowing players to optimize their game style

Competition-focused gameplay enabling you to challenge friends and beat hi-scores

Multiple game modes, including Rogue-lite

Twitch compatibility allowing viewers to affect the game, upgrading and refreshing the game experience
