So Romantic’s Jack Move<\/a>, the futuristic grid-based RPG where you play as a hacker, will be tapping into our Switch’s mainframe on 20th September.<\/p>\n

This beautiful, neon, pixel art RPG made a splash on Steam with its prologue demo earlier this year, and it’s now bringing the whole adventure to consoles (and PC) later this year. Steam, Epic Games, and Humble will all get Jack Move on 8th September, while we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to get our hands on it.<\/p>\n

As Noa, a vigilante hacker from Bright Town, you must save your father from a mega-corporation \u2014 standard stuff, really! But her partners are an eccentric bunch \u2014 who doesn’t want a Martini-drinking uncle to help them out on their journey?<\/p>\n

Here’s an official summary of the game from its Steam page:<\/p>\n

\n

Jack Move is a fresh take on turn-based Japanese-style RPGs. Promising a unique blend of gritty cyberpunk storytelling, turn-based battles, and beautiful modern pixel art.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Story
<\/strong>Take on the role of Noa Solares: An up-and-coming vigilante hacker from Bright Town. When the overreaching mega-corporation Monomind, kidnaps Abner, her estranged father, Noa has no choice but to get him back, before it’s too late. Why is Abner researching digitised consciousness? And what does Monomind want to do with it?<\/p>\n

Noa won’t be alone on her journey. She’ll be helped out by her best friend and tactical planner, Ryder, as well as her Martini drinking uncle and ex-corporate spy, Guin Blakely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Cyberspace Battles
<\/strong>Battle Noa\u2019s foes in the unique single-party-member turn-based battle system, featuring beautiful animation and tactical gameplay.<\/p>\n

Hardware upgrades can help boost your stats, increase the amount of software you can install or give Noa extra abilities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
