ProbablyMonsters have launched their debut title Storm Lancers on Nintendo Switch as a timed console exclusive.
Storm Lancers is now available for $19.99 via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch. And with that, the ever beloved genre of couch co-op gets another addition to its respectable ranks.
“Storm Lancers was a fun and exciting challenge for us as the team built something truly distinctive in the rogue-like genre — native couch co-op in the game’s DNA,” said ProbablyMonsters General Manager and Game Lead for Storm Lancers Jim Veevaert in a press release. “With colorful visuals and an easy-to-understand and challenging-to-master gameplay system, we can’t wait for players to step into the world of Cryptica together.”

Fight Together. Die Together. Repeat.
You and your friend just crash-landed on an alien planet harboring a secret source of powerful magic. All of reality is on the verge of collapse, and two magical creatures have chosen you as their heroes. To save the planet, you’ll fight, die, and bond with the Stormhearts to rise again — stronger, fiercer, and unstoppable.
Designed for couch co-op, Storm Lancers is a fast-paced rogue-like, where every run means dodging death, overcoming enemies, and mastering powerful skills. The battle is on, so team up for survival.
Features
- ANIME ACTION – On Cryptica, no two runs are the same. In this side-scrolling rogue-like, you’ll navigate shifting biomes where every leap, slash, and dash brings you one step closer to unraveling the mystery. With each playthrough, discover new items that make that run’s playstyle unique and gain permanent upgrades that make you stronger.
- SEAMLESS COUCH CO-OP – Rogue-like action, specifically built for two. Explore Cyptica’s alien world and prepare for battle, side by side with a friend, using your combined abilities, weapons, and powerups. If your partner has to leave, no worries. Storm Lancers lets you seamlessly switch from co-op to solo, so you stay in the action.
- BOSSES & ENEMIES – From a machine race that consumes planets to alien flora and fauna that want to kill everything, fight through bosses and enemies who will force you to think faster, fight harder, and adapt quickly. This is an ever-changing battlefield where killer instincts and survival skills are everything.
- WEAPONS & ABILITIES – Arm yourself with a variety of weapons built for every kind of playstyle and run. From flaming swords and razor-sharp Katars to Rifles, crushing Hammers, and Grenade Launchers, each weapon is designed for destruction. Choose wisely — or die quickly.
