Wulverblade coming first to Nintendo Switch in September

If you want some beat-em-up in your life, this is the game for you. Today, during the Nindies Summer Showcase, Nintendo showed off Wulverblade, a beautifully animated side-scrolling beat-em-up. It’s coming to the Switch next month, before any other platform.

There’s no firm release date yet, but the developers have said in a blog post that the game is 100% complete and in the bug-testing stage, so we reckon it’ll arrive right on schedule. You can read the description below, or scroll down to take a look at the utterly crazy trailer.

Its 120AD and the Roman army have seized control of the south of Britannia. Their goal, to march north and conquer the rest of the island with brutal and bloody efficiency. The 5000 strong 9th Legion are preparing for war, but little do they know what lies in wait for them. Caradoc, a guardian of the northern tribes has rallied the war bands and is ready to bring the war to the Romans. Caradoc bares a gift that even he is not aware of. And soon, the Ninth Legion will discover its true power.
