Phoenotopia: Awakening is bringing a familiar nostalgia to the Nintendo Switch this month. Those who have played Cave Story, The Legend of Zelda, especially Zelda II will definitely feel a familiar vibe. From visiting towns, exploring the world and its menu screens, Phoenotopia should grab your attention if you’ve been yearning for a new side-scrolling adventure. With its simplistic, pixel style art, you won’t just explore dungeons and solve puzzles. Players will fish, cook and attack foes coming your way.

Story Synopsis:

Join Gail, a simple villager, who must heed the call for adventure when a great starship appears in the night sky and abducts all the adults. As the new oldest member of her fragmented community, she must set out to solve this great mystery. Little does she know of the grand adventure before her, the evil lurking in the shadows, and the role she will play in the fight for Earth’s very existence!

The game’s official soundtrack available for pre-order on Bandcamp. Pre-orders open on the Nintendo eShop for $19.99 USD. Phoenotopia: Awakening releases for the Nintendo Switch on August 20th, 2020. The game’s official website open to the public.
