<p>Indie publisher Digerati has revealed that upcoming shoot ’em up <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/black_paradox">Black Paradox</a></strong>, developed by Fantastico Studio, will be blasting onto Nintendo Switch on 3rd May.</p>
<p>We first heard about this one <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/07/80s-inspired_side-scrolling_shmup_black_paradox_is_headed_to_nintendo_switch">last summer</a>, when the game was preparing to enter Steam Early Access and carried a promise of a future release on consoles. That release is now just around the corner, meaning we don’t have long to wait before we can test out the game’s fast-paced roguelite action and the variety of weapons, power-ups, drones, and other upgrades available to ensure survival.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of key features:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Key features<br />–</strong> 20 weapons, 37 powerups, 13 deadly drones, 8 amazing power-up combos, and the ultimate space-bending move: the “Black Paradox”<br />– 62 different enemies, each with its own attack patterns<br />– 14 deadly bosses with unique attacks + 1 secret boss<br />– Upgrade your stats and unlock new powers<br />– 2 player local co-op<br />– Amazing pixel art, awesome synth-wave soundtrack<br />– Extra hardcore boss rush mode to unlock</p>
