Stunning Retro Action Platformer Kraino Origins Out Today For Nintendo Switch

Fight monsters, ghosts, and zombies with your mighty scythe!

Today, developer GameAtomic and publisher Elden Pixels announced the launch of Kraino Origins, a ghoul-filled retro action platformer, on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Players will be challenged with fast-paced melee combat, magic abilities, and hidden power-ups as they journey through eight dark and dangerous levels.

Kraino was created to aid the forces of evil, but all the dark magic used to create him could not change his true nature – a force of good.

Now it’s up to Kraino to use all the powers of evil to fight fire with fire, as he journeys across the land to destroy the nefarious lords, uncover hidden weapons, and get his revenge on his maker, Dr. Batcula.

“We are very excited to launch our much loved retro action platformer, Kraino Origins, on Nintendo Switch today,” said Mikael, CEO & Creative Director at Elden Pixels. “Fans of our existing games (Alwa’s Awakening, Alwa’s Legacy and Cathedral) will definitely like this challenging retro title, jam-packed with creepy crawlies, monsters and ghouls.”

Kraino Origins is available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $11.99 / €11.99 / £10.79 and on Steam. Fans of retro action platformers won’t want to miss out on this unique adventure.
