Update: the Kickstarter campaign for Hex Gambit is now live. Click here to check out more details about the game, but also the campaign itself (rewards, stretch goals, etc.)!

As of writing, $3 094 have already been pledged, with the developers asking for $11 000. It looks like the campaign is well on its way to success, possibly during the very first 24h!

Another week, another batch of indie games announced forthe Nintendo Switch! This time, we have Hex Gambit, from One Man Left Studios. It’s a “fast-paced turn-based strategy game designed to foster big, surprising plays and a competitive community”.

According to the developers, it’s both easy to learn and deep enough to “keep players discovering new tactics months or years into playing”. It also offers a ton of variety, through customisation.

The game takes place in a world called Ago, where an explosive arena sport known as Hex Hambit is extremely popular. In this sport, players command squads of expendable automatons.

Here’s a teaser trailer:

Here’s the main features:

Customize your team: choose a captain and a loadout of minions to suit your play style.

1v1 and 2v2 matches

Smart asynchronous play: watch your opponents take their turns live, or come back whenever.

Massive league metagame: Choose a faction each season and fight for the trophy!

Sounds exciting? If yes, then you’ll be glad to learn that Hex Gambit will be released on the Nintendo Switch, next year. Since the game puts the focus on multiplayer, it was a pretty logical choice to put it on this console.

The Kickstarter campaign for Hex Gambit will go live later this month: we’ll make sure to let you know when it’s live!

Hex Gambit (Switch – eShop) will be released in April 2018. It’s already been added to the Upcoming Releases page!
