Check out an hour of gameplay from Curse of the Sea Rats

Curse of the Sea Rats , the ‘ratoidvania’ platform adventure game from developer Petoons Studio and publisher PQube, will be released for Switch on April 6th, 2023. Ahead of the game’s launch, PQube has put together an hour’s worth of gameplay that you can check out above.

Curse of the Sea Rats is an adventure with lovingly crafted, hand-drawn animations. Embark on the epic journey of four prisoners of the British empire, transformed into rats by the notorious pirate witch, Flora Burn. To regain their human bodies, they will have to fight dangerous bosses, uncover the secrets of the vast Irish coast, and ultimately capture the witch who cursed them.

Meet some of the diabolical bosses you’ll be coming up against during your adventure! From the scuttling, web-weaving Freddy Eightfingers to the ancient evil of The Necromancer, each encounter will bring entirely new challenges to overcome! Experiment with the playstyles of four playable characters or team up with your friends in local co-op to emerge victorious.
