Flinthook And Mercenary Kings Coming To Switch
Two indie platformers, Flinthook and Mercenary Kings, are coming to the Nintendo Switch, according to developer Tribute Games.
The two titles are being brought to retail courtesy of Limited Run Games, who recently expanded out to the Switch as a consumer base. LRG announced the ports on their Twitter with accompanying box arts, showing off Mercenary Kings as a newly titled Reloaded Edition. The new subtitle indicates that the Switch version is coming with the free expansion coming soon to PS4 and PC, which adds two new characters and a host of new weapons.
Flinthook is a hook-based 2D platformer, of which you can find our review here, and Mercenary Kings is a mission-based 2D shooter with the structure of something like Monster Hunter, and you can find our review of that here.
Neither game was dated, with LRG only stating that the dates are to be determined.
