<p>German-based game developer Matthias Linda is hoping to release his SNES style RPG <strong>Chained Echoes</strong> on the Nintendo Switch. This game has been in development for two and half years and is inspired by fantasy titles of the ’90s, taking place in a 16-bit world where dragons are as common as piloted mechanical suits.</p>
<p>Like all good JRPG, you’ll take control of a group of heroes who must bring peace to a continent where war has been waged for generations. The game combines the simplicity of retro games with more modern design principles to offer a fast-paced adventure. Other than this, players can expect 20-25 hours of play time, no random encounters (as enemies can be seen around the game world), tons of items to be looted, stolen or crafted, a complex skill and equipment system, the ability to customise your own airship and music inspired by games from the PSX era.</p>
<p>The game will be released in English only, with further stretch goals made for additional language support. At the time of writing, the <a class="external" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013827562/chained-echoes-a-16bit-fantasy-rpg-with-mechs-and/description"><strong>Kickstarter project</strong></a> has raised around €35,000 (58% of the funding goal) and has an initial target of €60,000. The funding required for a Switch release is €80,000. If this particular stretch goal is not met, the game may still be ported to this platform and the PlayStation 4 at a later date. If you want to help out, there are multiple pledges you can make, with many of them including a digital copy of the game and various other goodies.</p>
<p>Take a look at the official trailer below and tell us in the comments if you’ll be backing this Kickstarter project:</p>
