Noodlecake and Hildring Studio have announced that their hack ‘n’ slash musketeer adventure Sacre Bleu is coming to Nintendo Switch.
You play as the captain of the French Musketeers, who has been thrown into la Bastille on false charges. Aided by the brilliant inventor Josephine and the steam-propelled blunderbuss that she has created, you must bust out of prison – mastering bullet-time combat, steam-powered platforming and the best pretend French.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Fight Monstrous Bosses: Someone has turned the French aristocracy into giant bile-spewing zombies! Uncover a plot against France herself while the onion-soup thickens.
- Graceful yet deadly combat: Use your blunderbuss and various arsenal of weapons to turn combat into an elegant, bullet-time, aerial-ballet. Hone your skills defeating enemies to achieve the highest combat grades. Doing so you’ll unlock even tougher levels to test your sword and skills.
- Explore la Bastille: The prison of la Bastille is vast! Explore the Armoury, Sewers and Kitchens as you work to build an airship for your daring escape. On your journey you’ll find secrets tucked away in shadowy corners that unlock still further challenges.

- Combat grades that unlock tougher levels to test your skills!
