Circle bringing JRPG style Shadows of Adam to Switch

Posted on May 20, 2018 by Jason Nason

CIRCLE Entertainment and Something Classic Games have announced that the classically-styled RPG Shadows of Adam is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Previously released on PC, Mac and Linux, this will be the console debut of the RPG. A game that brings classic JRPGs to mind, it features a compelling story, a unique fast-paced battle system and modernized visuals for a beloved genre.

Here’s the synopsis of the game. Tucked away from the outside world by the impenetrable haze of the Misty Woods, the village of Adam has mostly lived in peace since the days of the Wraith War. Magic, the dark power that fueled that war has vanished. But darkness is descending once more and Adam’s legendary hero, Orazio, is no more.

10 years ago he left without explanation and never returned, leaving his son and adopted daughter to wrestle with the dark secret he left behind—a secret that must now be revealed if the children hope to save both Adam and their departed father, though its revelation could unhinge the world.

The game is said to feature a compelling character driven story with a deep narrative and an interesting plot. The story revolves around 4 main characters: Asrael, Kellan, Curtis and Talon. The game also features some beautiful visuals inspired by classic JRPGs of the SNES-era. It also has an original soundtrack with over 44 tracks.

There isn’t a firm release date set for the game as of yet.
