Exorder, a fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from Fat Dog Games and Solid9 Studio, will make its way to Nintendo Switch on 27th September, it has been confirmed.

In Exorder, players will charge into battle as Princess Beyla, defender of the crown and protector of the kingdom. The game boasts "intense" skirmishes with more than ten battle units, with each featuring distinct and quirky skills with different model and stat variants to choose from. Combat is described as being "easy to pick up", but climbing the ranks in global leaderboards won't be an easy challenge.

You can learn the ropes in a quick single-player campaign by fighting to defend Cerulean, a humble kingdom threatened by the not-so-humble Prince Tristan. You can also jump ship and challenge a single foe online in quick matches, or queue up for a heated battle of up to four players in a custom game. Both online and local multiplayer options are available, and crossplay allows Switch and PC owners to wage war against each other.

Darek Skrzypkowski, CEO at Fat Dog Games, has said the following to support the game's release announcement:

“This is a love song to the classic games in the turn-based tactics genre. Exorder is a brilliant and welcoming tribute to that scene with its vibrant colours, quirky humour and intuitive mechanics made even better when played with friends.”

The game will launch on Switch for $12.99 / €12.99, being made available directly from the Nintendo eShop on its launch date of 27th September.
