Roguelike action RPG Children of Morta arrives on Switch this week, and publisher 11 Bit Studios has dropped a cool new trailer ahead of the game’s launch.

Providing an overview of the critically-acclaimed game’s plot, the trailer shows the game running on an undocked Switch, surrounded by physical copies of the game. We thought this was a pretty cool and unique trailer - check it out!

The game itself revolves around the Bergson family, and their fight for survival in a world threatened by an evil power. Here’s the blurb from the official game website:

“Children of Morta sets its story in a distant land but copes with themes closer to our daily lives that one would expect. It is a story of simple emotions we all know so well and value more than sometimes we dare to admit: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, ultimately loss and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for.
Embark on the adventure of an extraordinary family of heroes. With the Corruption spreading through the land, guardians of the Mountain Morta have to stand up against the ancient evil. But… it’s not a story about saving the universe. It’s a story about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is being devoured by darkness.”

Are you picking this on up this week? Let us know down in the comments.
