Freedom Planet launches new Nintendo Switch Demo today

XSEED Games announced that a demo for Freedom Planet has landed on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch. To mark the occasion, the title will be available for 35% off the usual $14.99 price for two weeks starting today.

The teams behind the game are also celebrating the strong positive reception that the title has received on the console. Since its release on August 30, the indie sensation has received critical praise from reviewers and consumers alike, and currently has an impressive score of 82 on Metacritic.

Freedom Planet is a fast-paced combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects to giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but players will have a variety of special fighting abilities at their disposal to blast through more than a dozen massive, nonlinear stages.

The campaign may be played through as Lilac, Carol, or the unlockable Milla, each of whom has completely unique gameplay mechanics, an altered story mode in which the selected character takes the lead, and even a few of her own unique stages.

Freedom Planet was essentially the Soinc game that everyone asked for. It was fast, fluid, and full of loops to blast through. Look, I’m super glad that Sonic Mania hit the scene, but I can’t help but think that the success of Freedom Planet helped kickstart that project, if only a little.
