Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Tangledeep Heading to Nintendo Switch

Independent developer Impact Gameworks has announced a Nintendo Switch port for their roguelike dungeon crawler Tangledeep.

The 16-bit era dungeon crawler will launch for the hybrid console sometime in early 2018, following its current release for Steam Early Access and GOG.com.

Impact Gameworks also confirmed that the PC, Mac, and Linux versions of the game now have a “Monster Corral” feature (as the game is still in development), which lets players capture any monster and add them to an in-game corral within Riverstone Grove.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Impact Gameworks:


Tangledeep combines the 16-bit graphics and polish of classic SNES-era RPGs with elements from roguelikes and dungeon crawlers to create a magical experience for players of all skill levels. Trapped in underground villages with no memory of the world at the surface, you must survive an ever-changing labyrinth to discover what lies above. Experience rich, tactical, turn-based gameplay as you explore a sprawling dungeon that’s different each time you play. Tangledeep features a customizable job system and hundreds of collectible items that allow you to approach each playthrough in a totally new way!

The Setting

For hundreds of years, people have lived in the safety of underground settlements and villages – where the only route to the surface is “Tangledeep,” a mysterious and ever-changing labyrinth. With memories of the surface world long forgotten, you set out for the labyrinth to discover what lies above. With each floor – full of magical beasts, ancient automatons, bizarre environments and hybrid biomes – the mystery grows ever deeper…

Key Features

  • Experience finely-tuned, procedurally-generated and handcrafted gameplay as you fight challenging monsters, complete quests, and collect rare items.
  • Master deep, tactical turn-based combat across 9 unique jobs. (More to come!)
  • Choose between two game modes – including Adventure Mode, which removes the pain of permadeath.
  • Share some of your progress between characters by using the banking system, or planting magic trees and raising monsters in town.
  • Take in the scenery – comprised of beautiful 16-bit graphics and carefully handcrafted maps!
  • Relax to a beautiful soundtrack composed by award-winning composer Andrew Aversa – joined by Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana) and Grant Kirkhope (GoldenEye 007, Civilization: Beyond Earth).

Further details regarding the Nintendo Switch port will be revealed at a later date.
