ProbablyMonsters has announced more ports for Storm Lancers, their retro couch co-op roguelike action game.
Storm Lancers is coming to Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 9th. A demo is launching for all platforms on November 25th and owners of the previously released Switch 1 version can upgrade for free.
“We’ve seen a lot of enthusiasm for Storm Lancers, and so we’re happy to be able to bring the game to more players in higher fidelity and offer them an even better experience,” ProbablyMonsters Head of Studios Mark Subotnick said in a press release. “Now more players than ever can battle their way through Cryptica with smoother action and online functions via Nintendo GameShare and Steam Remote Play Together.”
Here’s a rundown on the game:
This version of Storm Lancers will have HDR support, run at a smooth 60 frames-per-second and allows players to group up online through Nintendo GameShare and Steam Remote Play Together.
With Nintendo Switch 2, players can now utilize Nintendo GameShare to partner up with friends and family locally or online, even if the other player hasn’t purchased Storm Lancers. Owners of Storm Lancers on Nintendo Switch can download the game on Nintendo Switch 2 at no additional cost, and existing save data can be transferred for players who want to continue playing where they left off.
Storm Lancers also makes its debut on PC via the Epic Game Store and Steam, where players can now experience the challenging Rogue-Like gameplay and 80’s anime-inspired universe for the first time in up to 4K resolution. Players on Steam can utilize the Remote Play Together feature to partner up with friends and family online to venture into the world of Cryptica together at no additional cost, even if the other player doesn’t have Storm Lancers in their library. Storm Lancers for PC will also be built with support for the Steam Deck, allowing players to visit Cryptica no matter where they are.
Storm Lancers lets players shape their playstyle through the Storm Bindings system, which enhances characters in specific ways while introducing trade-offs in others. Each build unlocks distinct perks and synergies, especially when combined with powerful evasion techniques and a wide arsenal of more than a dozen weapon types. As players progress deeper toward the planet’s core, they’ll uncover new items, mechanics, and abilities transforming them into true legends of Cryptica.
