Starward Rogue docks on Switch today

Twinstick shooter Starward Rogue was announced for Switch a few months ago, but a release date wasn’t finalized… until now. The game will officially be hitting the Switch eShop later today! Above, check out the latest trailer for the game showing off its release date and overhead shooting action.

Starward Rogue will be available for $14.99, but a small discount will bring it to $13.49 if you pre-purchase before the release date. Click here to view the game’s eShop listing or see below for more info.

Starward Rogue is a bullet hell twin-stick shooter. Blast your way through the Megalith, a rogue-lite labyrinth lodged in the side of a star. Customize your mech with a huge variety of weapons, perks, and upgrades. Steel yourself for the dangers that lurk in the depths of the dungeon.
