Stave Off Petrification With Swords in Castle of Heart on the Switch

Picturesque Action Platformer Coming to Switch This Spring

Most video game characters fight because they’re super good at it, or maybe there’s someone who needs rescuing at the other end of this huge field of bad guys. Castle of Heart takes a different approach: What if you couldn’t stop fighting or else you’d turn to stone?

Castle of Heart Petrification

Okay, so the news is actually worse than that: Castle of Heart starts with you already turned to stone. Your objective is to make your way to the evil wizard’s castle before your body disintegrates altogether. Petrification means disintegration, which is rather permanent. You have no choice but to keep your energy up by defeating enemies. Thankfully there’s a lot of combat strategies you can employ to this effect.

You have a variety of short- and long-ranged weapons to choose from, each with their own advantages in combat. Of course, if an arm is disintegrated in battle, your options in battle become somewhat limited. Challenges like these are what push you to keep killing your opponents without pausing for even a moment. After all, if you stop, you’re less of a soldier and more of a statue. Castle of Heart is a Switch-exclusive game set for release sometime this Spring. Check out that trailer!
