Heidelberg 1693 launches for Switch today

Publisher Red Art Games has revealed that the 2D action game Heidelberg 1693 is coming to Switch today. Even better, those interested will be able to pick up the game digitally or physically. There are just 1,000 physical copies to go around, so hurry up and get yours!

Heidelberg 1693 is a challenging 2D Action platformer set in a zombie-infested version of 17th century Germany in which the player takes control of one of French King Louis XIV’s famous musketeers. The game adds a layer of tactical combat to the genre by introducing the weapon of choice of musketeers: the musket. Players will be able to fire one powerful - and very effective- musket shot at a time.

The weapon must be used wisely because of its long reset time though. Heidelberg 1693 tells its somber story - featuring real locations and historical figures - across multiple paths and endings.
