Today’s Games have confirmed a release date for its action-adventure game ReSetna on Nintendo Switch.
Set in a fractured, post-apocalyptic world where all organic life is extinct and civilization’s last remnants belong to self-aware machines. Not immune to the passage of time, the robots are experiencing psychological turmoil, existential crises and the emotions that once belonged to their makers. The result is a universe where even the machines question their purpose and existence.
When a mysterious digital entity known as the Signal threatens the balance of this fragile robotic society, the machines are driven to madness. Awakened by an all-knowing, dimension-spawning AI called APEX, a robot warrior called ReSetna must journey with her loyal companion drone through a crumbling world to locate and eliminate the source of the Signal.
You will uncover the truth behind the failed Project Ascendance and ReSetna’s own role in it. As the Signal spreads, your choices will determine the fate of synthetic life. However, even APEX is keeping secrets from you which include a forgotten protocol that could change everything…
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Post-Human World. Journey through the forgotten ruins of Polis_13, toxic wastelands of Acidia, the reality-warping, mind-bending Darkness Zone… Each of ReSetna‘s seven dystopian districts presents a unique terrain that demands sharp observation and good platforming skills to overcome — and rewards the curious with hidden challenges and untold stories.
- Cryptic Story. Piece together the enigmatic history of ReSetna‘s fractured world across 20+ hours of gameplay. Each zone reveals fragments of the past and glimpses of the future through environmental storytelling and subtle clues, drawing you deeper into the game‘s overarching mystery and robot society.
- Tetris Chip Upgrade System. Tailor ReSetna‘s abilities to your playstyle with a unique upgrade system based on tetromino chips. Enhance combat skills or environmental manipulation, with your choices influencing both ReSetna’s evolution and your path through the game.
- Drone Companion. Your loyal drone IXA is more than just a sidekick. It heals, scans, and provides crucial tactical support as you navigate the ruins of the world in search of the elusive Signal.
- Tactical Combat. Face a variety of enemies that demand strategic thinking and adaptability. Master ReSetna’s weapons, learn enemy patterns, and refine your skills to tackle escalating challenges and formidable bosses.
- Original Soundscape. Crafted by Nikola Jeremic, the haunting soundtrack of ReSetna fuses retro synthwave and ambientwave, blending organic, distorted sound of decayed instruments with synthetic textures to reflect the post-organic, post-human nature of the game‘s world.
ReSetna will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 31 January 2025.
