Mable And The Wood Brings More Metroidvania Action To Switch In Summer 2019

Craving for more Metroidvania action on Nintendo Switch? A dark and wonderful fantasy world will soon be unraveling on the hybrid console this year!

Graffiti Games have revealed that Mable and the Wood is heading to the Switch eShop in Summer 2019. The action-adventure is unique in that you don’t have to kill any enemies, if you wish. On the other hand, defeating bosses will grant the players amazing new abilities – but at a sinister cost…

Check out the console reveal trailer below, along with more details from the game’s Steam page below.

Mable & The Wood is a metroidvania where you can take the form of the bosses that you kill, changing how you’re able to explore the interconnected world. It’s also a metroidvania where you don’t have to kill anyone.

The strange cult that resurrected you speak of an ancient prophecy that says you will hunt down the great beasts, take their shape, and use their powers to save this dying world. But what if they’re wrong? The prophecy is old, and words lose their meaning with time…

When the world is falling apart around you, what will you do? In Mable & The Wood, it’s up to you to make that choice. You don’t have to kill anyone, but you might kill everyone.

Will you banish the darkness, or will you become it?

COMBAT IS MOVEMENT

The way you move is deadly. Dragging a sword that is too heavy to lift, Mable shape-shifts into a fairy and leaves it where she stood. Recall the sword to your hand once again to slice through any enemies in your path.

You can only maintain your non-human form for a limited time, but killing creatures extends your power.

HUNT THE GREAT BEASTS AND TAKE THEIR SHAPE

Defeat the great beasts to take their shape and transform into a mole, medusa, spider and more…

Find and defeat the other bosses to unlock even more shapes!

EXPLORE A DYING WORLD

The game takes place in a dark fantasy world, with each area making up part of a large, complex map that’s packed full of all kinds of secrets for you to discover.

Uncover secrets that you can use to find alternative, non-combat routes through the world and discover a different side to the story (and multiple endings!)

DISCOVER WHO YOU REALLY ARE

Discover a rich story and define your own role in it. Will you become the saviour everyone’s trying to convince you to be, or will your actions lead to the world literally tearing itself apart?

Features
