Ethra has been funded on Kickstarter, and as part of that, the game will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 in the future.

Stonelab Games was able to raise over €40,000 for the project. Rather than making it a stretch goal, Nintendo Switch 2 was included in the main funding target. Now that the funding goal has been released, that means we’ll see it on Nintendo’s console down the line.

For those who haven’t heard about the game previously, it’s an open world RPG adventure title. Bob and Veil will explore the land and uncover a thousand year lie the world already forgot about.

Here’s some additional information::

EthrA is a 3D pixel-art open-world RPG with a heavy focus on exploration and combat, where you play two protagonists together on a journey across the continent to slowly unravel a thousand-year-old lie.

You will play as Bob, a farm boy searching for a more interesting life, and Veil, a lost child of a rare species with a natural affinity with magic. Together you will explore the continent filled with ruins, towns, rumors, quests, and trouble that keeps finding them along the way.

In EthrA, you control both Bob and Veil at the same time. Bob handles close-range combat, while Veil is in charge of casting spells and buffs.

Depending on the situation, Veil can stay mounted on Bob’s back, allowing you to control both characters as one. This keeps Veil protected and makes it easier to focus on Bob’s movement and attacks.

If you want to play more aggressively, you can put Veil on the ground and control him with orders. Enemies will have two targets to worry about, dividing their attention and creating more opportunities to attack. However, this also puts Veil at greater risk. If he is defeated, Bob will lose his magical support and be left at a serious disadvantage.

Learning when to keep Veil protected and when to separate the two is an important part of EthrA’s combat.

If all of this sounds too complex, don’t worry; Veil has an auto mode (Also recommended for experienced players).
