Lucky Last Studio has confirmed a release date for their skateboarding action-platformer Skate Bums on Nintendo Switch.
In a game that has taken inspiration from ’80s and ’90s skate culture, you play as Lux, a complete skateboarding beginner who sets out on an epic journey from total newbie to legendary skater.
Tackling wild, handcrafted courses with branching paths and skateboarding-themed boss battles, you must help Lux take on the notorious Skate Bums who dominate Beluga City one by one.
With the developer designing the courses for “quick pick-up-and-play sessions with flow at the core,” to succeed, you must master your environment, outsmart your rivals, and shred with undeniable style.
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- A quirky skateboarding adventure: Jump into the shoes of our protagonist Lux, as you embark on an adrenaline-fueled mission as the unlikely hero of Beluga City, challenging the notorious Skate Bums who rule the streets. Relive skate vibes from the 80s and 90s in this modern adventure dripping with old school flavour and delivered in a unique illustrative art style.
- Choose your own path: Explore unique locations with multiple layers. Create your own path through levels to find your flow, maximise combos, and discover secrets. The city is your playground.
- Boss battles: Battle the Skate Bums on their own signature courses fraught with danger and full of surprises. You’ll have more than just obstacles to contend with. They’ll throw anything at you from air conditioners, lawn chairs to cars! Defeat them and steal their board as your reward!
- Explore unique locations: Visit downtown Beluga City, the tropical steep terrain of Paradise Hills or the eclectic, offbeat Miso Town subway system. Each location offers its unique visuals, soundtracks, gameplay and personality.
- Skills to pay the bills: Chain together massive combos, bridge giant gaps or take on legendary challenges to unlock unique rewards and earn coin that you can spend at Licky’s skate shop.
