Storm Lancers Brings Anime-Style Roguelike Co-op to Switch This Fall

One of the first titles from ex-Bungie CEO Harold Ryan’s studio, the 10-hour roguelike blends 1980s anime aesthetics with a dynamic progression system.

Storm Lancers

Overview

  • Storm Lancers is slated for Nintendo Switch this fall with no specific release date beyond the seasonal timeframe.
  • Developed by ProbablyMonsters, the game marks one of the first IPs from the AAA studio founded by ex-Bungie CEO Harold Ryan and led by veterans Jim Veevaert and Seth Thompson.
  • The side-scrolling roguelike casts players as crash-landed heroes on Cryptica who bond with magical Stormhearts to battle through shifting biomes using fast, anime-inspired combo combat and a diverse weapon set.
  • Designed for local couch co-op, the game lets two players team up seamlessly and transition instantly to solo play if a partner drops out.
  • Permanent upgrades, procedurally altered environments and an estimated 10-hour run length aim to deliver high replayability and dynamic run-to-run variety.
