Moonring is a throwback-style RPG that hearkens back to the classic Ultima games, particularly the second trilogy and quickly won over fans when it was released for free on Steam.
The game has been getting consistent updates from the developer Fluttermind Games and one recent update mentioned the possibility of a Switch port. Well, that possibility is becoming a reality, as it has been announced that the game will in fact be getting a port to the Nintendo Switch. No word yet on if the game will cost or be free like on Steam but the developer has been asking fans and artists if they feel the art style should be kept on the Switch or given a new look.
A free game by the co-creator of the XBox’s Fable series.
Five hundred years ago, the land of Caldera was plunged into endless darkness. Decades later, five moons rose in the sky, bringing light to the world and strange Gods with it. With them came the Dreams: calls to Devotion promising supernatural Gifts.
Thus, the new Calderan civilisation was born; a world of Devotion and Dreamers, Gods and Gifts, with a Dreamless Archon acting as the Gods’ mortal representative. But Archons are not eternal, and a successor must be found.
You are Dreamless: free to choose your own destiny, to ask questions others dare not, or even become Archon yourself.
What will you do, Dreamless one?
Moonring is a retro-inspired open-world, turn-based, tile RPG in the style of the classic Ultima games, but created from the ground up with modern design sensibilities.The world’s geography is hand-designed, but the deadly dungeons beneath the surface reconfigure each time you leave… or die.
