14 DAY TRIAL // Death Tales is a follow-up to Plague Road and War Theatre, and the third title of Luc Bernard's Plague Universe franchise. His studio, Arcade Distillery is bringing Death Tales, the new action RPG launched on the PC last month, to the Nintendo Switch. Players will be able to pick this one up from the Nintendo e-shop starting December 3.
Given the name of the game, it's no surprise that in Death Tales you'll be playing as a new reaper of death gone rogue. Players must protect their harbinger of doom by making use of various pieces of equipment and deadly spells.
Throughout the game, players will be given the chance to learn powerful attacks, which will come in handy for sending enemies off this mortal coil. Since it's an action RPG, Death Tales requires players to complete quests for a cast of quirky characters, who will force them to make difficult choices.
Visually, Death Tales features a grim atmosphere, yet a richly illustrated 2D world. More importantly, the game lets you play alone or with a friend in local co-op. While in local co-op, Player 2 controls Spaura, the Reaper’s Soul Bearer. Online co-op will be coming after launch, players can play as their own customized Reaper.
Death Tales features more than 40 pieces of equipment just waiting to be acquired. Also, players can customize their Reapers using these pieces and equipment which will aid them in battle. All the equipment can be found in a variety of well-hidden chests, but players can also use the souls they collect as currency to buy items from the local vendor.
Death Tales includes a solid gear system that allows players to mix and match armor to harness the power of unique skills such as fireballs, the ability to freeze enemies, and angel wings that let you glide to safety.
