Switch exclusive game arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox
Originally released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch console, the strategy RPG Dark Deity 2 has now arrived on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This brings the game’s short-lived console exclusivity to an end. With the addition of these new platforms, the strategy game is now available on a total of six different digital stores.
Console exclusivity for Dark Deity 2 has ended: Now on PS5 and Xbox
The game was released for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 by publisher indie.io on November 7th. The game is priced at $24.99, the same price as the PC and Switch versions. PlayStation Plus subscribers can purchase the game with a 20% discount, or 824.80 TL, until December 5th. Xbox offers a flat 20% launch discount, valid until November 20th, with no membership required.
Dark Deity 2 takes place 25 years after the first game, which raised over $74,000 on Kickstarter in 2020, reaching six times its goal. The game offers a tactical RPG experience mechanically inspired by the classic Fire Emblem series. Turn-based battles, dynamic character recruitment paths, and numerous team-building options form the core of the game. Set in a fantasy world, the game features 20 hero units, 45 different class branches with unique abilities, and a retro pixel art style.
The game’s story mode is fully voiced. The voice cast includes Allegra Clark, who voiced Mitsuru in the critically acclaimed Persona 3 Reload. Dark Deity 2 emphasizes replayability with customization options inspired by community-created randomizer modes. Players can customize a wide range of elements, from experience point and gold gain multipliers to the order in which units join teams and various battle settings.
The arrival of Dark Deity 2 on PlayStation and Xbox stores has raised the question of whether the original game will also be coming to these consoles. However, neither developer Sword & Axe nor publisher indie.io have yet confirmed this. The publisher previously stated that Dark Deity 2 is designed as a “completely standalone adventure” and can be enjoyed without playing the first game. So, do you prefer tactical RPGs like classic Fire Emblem?
