Indie game publisher Merge Games has revealed that it will be turning its publishing skills up to eleven to release Valfaris on Switch in physical form.

The game is a heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer featuring "brutal" combat, deadly enemies, retro-inspired pixel art and a blood-pumping soundtrack. You can see how it plays out for yourself in the trailer above, but we also have this handy feature list for you below:

Key Features:

Skulls in space! Gore in space! Metal in space!

Savagely reduce foes to piles of gibs with an array of brutal weaponry

Explore a diverse range of tainted environments as you venture ever deeper into the dark world of Valfaris

Gorge your eyes on devastatingly awesome pixel art hand-crafted by Andrew Gilmour

Feel the power of a seismic soundtrack by extreme metaller and former Celtic Frost guitarist, Curt Victor Bryant
