After mobile success, Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom is coming to Switch

Family-friendly puzzle adventure Aaarik and the Ruined Kingdom is coming to Switch on March 26 after a successful mobile release last year.

Even better, should you pre-order the game, it is 20% cheaper than buying it on day one.

What is the plot for Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom?

You play as Aarik, a young prince who goes to find his missing mother. Harnessing the power of his bedridden father’s magical crown, you reshape the world around you by mending broken bridges and mending damaged paths.

Explore enchanted castles, mystical forests, vast deserts, eerie swamps, and frozen tundra in a beautiful world full of intricate and devious puzzles that are the obstacle between reuniting your family.

As the future heir to the throne, you can restore hope to a broken land long before you come to be its ruler. Can you help Aarik find his mother and mend his ruined kingdom?

What have critics and fans said?

The game has been well-received by critics and fans alike. The title has an average rating of 4.2 stars out of 5 on the Google Play Store and 4.9 stars out of 5 on the App Store.

And because the Nintendo Switch version features refinements designed specifically for the platform, ensuring smooth performance and intuitive interaction across all play styles, it sounds like the Switch version will be just as good

The game has drawn comparisons to Viewfinder, a title we absolutely loved. If Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom is anything like the first-person adventurer, then we are sure plenty of you will love it. 

Following the recent Dispatch controversy, this could be a great way for Nintendo to get back into the good books of fans of adventure games. With a day one price of just $7 dollars, it looks to be a real bargain.
