<p>Krafted Games has announced that its minimalist, randomly-generated FPS <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/polygod">Polygod</a></strong> is headed to Nintendo Switch next month.</p>
<p>The game is set to feature a “brutal” difficulty curve, epic boss fights, and arena-shooter style action in local multiplayer and online vs/co-op multiplayer modes. Polygod offers a deep level of weapon customisation and extensive multiplayer features, coupled with that randomly-generated level design which aims to offer players a different experience every time they play. The official PR’s feature list is a pretty hefty one, so we’ll let that do the talking below:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>▪ <strong>Infinite level possibilities</strong> – maps are randomly generated and seeded providing a tonne of replayability, but then shareable among friends in order to encourage competition with full leaderboard support<br />▪ <strong>Brutal Difficulty curve</strong> – Only the most skilled gamers will ascend to Godhood…<br />▪ <strong>Online co-op and versus multiplayer</strong> – Allows for competitive fun to be had among friends featuring daily leaderboards. (Versus multiplayer not available on Switch.)<br />▪ <strong>Skill based gameplay</strong> – Built upon a principle that if one lacks skill, it can be substituted for strategy and vice versa. Eg. unskilled strategic players will be just as good as skillful nonstrategic players.<br />▪ <strong>Unique ‘Blessings’ based weapon customisation system</strong> – Combine and stack ‘blessings’ to create hundreds of thousands of unique weapons, blessings combine to give a high level of depth. Deep understanding is required to fully utilise the blessing system which in turn gives a high replay value<br />▪ <strong>Classic FPS controls</strong> – <em>Polygod’s</em> controls are reminiscent of Quake 3 and the original Doom, bringing a classic gameplay vibe back having been absent since the 90’s!<br />▪ <strong>Gyroscopic controls</strong> – Nintendo Switch version only<br />▪ <strong>Super fast paced and addictive</strong> – requires hundreds of hours to master, a speed-runner/hardcore gamer’s dream</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The game is scheduled to launch on 17th August worldwide for £16.19 / $14.99 / €16.59.</p>
