Launching later this week on Nintendo Switch is Trancelation, a game that aims to expand your language skills and vocabulary in a arcade-like setting. You'll be able to grab it starting from this Friday, and there's a pretty special bonus in place for those who do.

Let's quickly discuss what the game's all about first. Trancelation has players exploring colourful, ever-changing neon worlds while simultaneously challenging them to associate and memorise new words from a language of their choice. It's designed to make mastering new words "feel like going out clubbing and staying in to play video games at the same time", essentially hoping to make learning more fun than it would usually be.

It's launching on 13th March with a temporary 30% discount in place, making it $6.99 / 6.99€ / £6.29. For some, that might be more than worth it already, but publisher Baltoro Games has revealed that early buyers will be given four free Switch games as thanks for picking it up. From launch until 16th March at 9am PT / 2pm GMT, owners of Trancelation will be able to download the following games for free:

- Freecell Solitaire DX is a premium rendition of the classic card game with beautiful graphics and relaxing music.

- Pizza Bar Tycoon lets you try your luck as a restaurant owner. A part of our fan-favourite cooking tycoons series.

- 2048 Battles puts a multi-player competitive twist on the classic puzzle game mechanics and completes the mix with awesome visuals.

- Flowlines VS is an addictive puzzle with a multitude of levels and fun multi-player mode.

So, a 30% discount and four free games? It's pretty hard to complain at that, right?
