Damsel, a vampire-slaying arcade platformer from indie dev Screwtape Studios, will be launching on Switch early next month. You can now pre-purchase the game directly from the Switch eShop.

The game features 75 "action-packed" missions and a comic book story that follows Special Agent Damsel as she investigates the vampire-owned Red Mist Beverage Corporation (who appear to be up to no good). You can see some of the platforming and shooting action in the trailer above, and we've got an official description and feature list for you below.
