New Trailer for New Ritual: Crown of Horns, Switch Version Confirmed

Draw Distance have announced a Switch version for Ritual: Crown of Horns.

This “Weird West top-down shooter” has been available for PC via Steam Early Access in May, and will be getting a full release alongside the Switch port in Q4 2019. You can check out a new trailer for the game above.

You play as a bounty hunter that has been raised from the dead and forced to protect the very witch he was tracking so she can perform rituals to banish legions of demonic creatures invading the mortal realm.

Here’s a rundown of the game:


Ritual: Crown of Horns is a slaughterhouse. Inspired by a variety of unique takes on the Western genre, from Alejandro Jodorowsky’s and Clint Eastwood’s bodies of work to the cult “The Wild Wild West” TV series, it’s a violent, fast-paced action game set in an alternate Wild West, an absurd, acid-fueled vision of hellish frontier. It’s also a wild tale of an unlikely duo: a bounty hunter who comes back from beyond a grave, yearning to exact revenge on his homeland, and a witch who aids him with a series of powerful rituals to further her own mysterious goals.

Ritual: Crown of Horns features:

  • A unique auto-aiming system that distinctly sets itself apart from your average twin-stick shooters: instead of spraying and praying, you are an elite gunslinger who makes every shot count.
  • A satisfying arsenal: shotguns, six-shooters, rifles, crossbows, and a few surprises that are a little less era-appropriate.
  • Outrageous enemies: brainwashed cultists, supernatural legendary creatures, bizarre murderous contraptions – you name it.
  • Gear: mysterious capes, hoods and amulets that you can customize and get powerful buffs for your character.
  • Creative spells and power-ups that can violently alter the way you approach each combat encounter.
  • Plenty of insane levels for you to master, each complete with unique challenges tailored to push the combat system to its limits.
  • A unique gothic-horror-meets-weird-western artstyle.
