Crunching Koalas has just released a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Fountains.
The original Nintendo Switch version only just released last week. However, on the new console, there are a couple of benefits.
First up, players can access Gauntlet Mode, an exclusive trial run in which players battle bosses one after another. Support is also included for 120 frames per second.
If you own the original Nintendo Switch version, upgrading to Switch 2 is free. The game itself is also 10 percent off right now.
Here’s an overview of the game:
The Fountain of Youth was hidden away. Nonetheless, it is fated that a Usurper will slay the Ageless and unearth it once more.
Fountains is a soulslike action-RPG built around fighting your way through a maze-like interconnected, seamless world. You’ll take the role of a hooded stranger, recently imprisoned by a tyrannical regime. Will you escape and uncover the mysteries of this war-torn empire?
Demanding, but fair combat
Tight, responsive combat puts every tool and tactic in your arsenal to the test, rewarding precision and quick thinking. Your enemies will hit hard and punish hesitation, turning each fight into an intense back-and-forth where the tide of battle can shift in an instant. Adjustable difficulty settings let you feel that thrill at exactly the intensity you crave, no matter your experience.Exploration that rewards curiosity
The world of Fountains is one, seamless, giant dungeon. It is a tightly packed labyrinth which twists and loops back on itself. You’ll always discover something new: items, powers and upgrades to unlock new parts of the world.Leave Your Mark
