Welcome to Nifty Nindies, our bitesize feature for Miketendo64 where we catch up with an indie developer/publisher/publicist to briefly go over an upcoming Nindie title that Switch owners can look forwards to.

In continuation of the series, here’s Headup Games’s responses to our 5 Nifty Nindies questions for the very soon to release Earth Atlantis:

What is it? Earth Atlantis.
Who is behind it? It’s developed by Pixel Perfex and published by Headup Games
What is it about? “The Great Climate Shift” struck at end of the 21st century. Ninety-six percent of the earth’s surface is underwater. Human civilization has fallen. Machines have adopted the shape and form of marine animals. The ocean is full of creature-machine hybrid monsters. You are a “Hunter” and the new journey begins… Earth Atlantis is a side-scrolling shooter with an original “Monster-Hunting” gameplay. Search and hunt down dreadful sea monsters and explore the post-apocalyptic underwater world. Unlock multiple ships with special weapons and abilities for your journey and become a legendary hunter! The game is presented in a very unique and artistic “Old Sketching” visual style, which expresses the essence of the 14th century’s ocean exploration when the sea was considered a dangerous place full of monsters.

Features:

Original side-scrolling shooter with monster-hunting objective.
Unique “Old Sketching” visual style.
Two game modes (Quest mode, Hunter mode).
4 Playable ships with unique weapons.
25 large monsters and 4 enemy ships to hunt with 9 special events to complete.

How much will it cost? £13.49 GBP/€14.99 EUR/$14.99 USD (*Prices for other Countries & Regions will vary.)
