SPECTACULAR SPARKY Set to Light Up Nintendo Switch on Oct 20th!

SANTA ANA, California, August 12, 2021 — Nicalis, Inc. today announced that Spectacular Sparky, a throwback action game from developer FreakZone Games, is coming to Nintendo Switch, Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 20, 2021.

Spectacular Sparky is a bold and explosive platform/shooter with wacky characters, powerful weapons, outrageous vehicles and boss battles to treasure. An adorably insane intergalactic bounty hunter, Sparky can dash through obstacles, fire his weapons in any direction and even extend his jumps by flapping his long space-rabbit ears.

Sparky’s voice-acted wisecracks and sarcastic jabs tend to get under the skin of his enemies in a most amusing fashion. His universe is awash with spikes, lava, buzzsaws, bombastic boss battles, super-saturated colors, slick parallax scrolling and mega-driven music, like the best “mascot” games of the 1990s.

Spectacular Sparky will be available digitally on Nintendo Switch, Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 20, 2021 for $14.99.

12 August, 2021 – Indie publisher Digerati is happy to confirm the release dates for The Magister. The murder-mystery card battler will launch September 2nd on Steam and Nintendo Switch, and September 3rd for Xbox One.

The latest game from developer Nerdook (Monster Slayers, Vertical Drop Heroes, Reverse Crawl), The Magister puts players in the role of a Magister – agents assigned to enforce the rule of law in the far-flung provinces of the Empire – who is dispatched to the remote village of Silverhurst to investigate a murder.

Players will be able to sample The Magister ahead of its release courtesy of The Magister: The First Two Days. As the name suggests, it will include the first two days of the randomly-generated whodunnit adventure (the full game takes place over 14 days). An exact release date is still to be confirmed for The Magister: The First Two Days, but it will be available to download from Steam for free sometime before September 2nd.

About the game

The Magister is a murder-mystery card-battler RPG. Build and customise your deck to fight in battles, or use ‘Tactical Diplomacy’ to pacify those who stand in your way. Gather clues and discover motives as you investigate the death of your predecessor and unmask the guilty culprit.

Key features

  • Randomly generated murder-mystery: A walkthrough won’t help here! The events, clues, motives, and murderer change with every playthrough. Only YOU can identify the guilty suspect.
  • Tactical card-based encounters: Your combat and negotiation skills are determined by the cards in your deck. Use a vast array of cards, such as ‘Heartstopper’, ‘Poison Slash’, ‘Weak Joke’, and ‘Long Talk’.
  • Pacify enemies for a peaceful outcome: Use ‘Tactical Diplomacy’ as an alternative to fighting and calm foes with your conversation cards to reduce their Rage level to 0.
  • Choose your Magister: Different Magisters come with their own specialities and flaws. From cunning alcoholic to intelligent insomniac – every variation defines a different adventure.
  • Recruit a human ally or furry companion: If needed, a Mercenary, Spy, or Sage can be recruited to assist in your investigation. You can also befriend one of the local cats or dogs to fight by your side in battles.
  • Set in a captivating fantasy world: You have 14 days to wander Silverhurst and befriend or intimidate its inhabitants as you race against time to unmask the murderer.
