'Supraland' Comes To Nintendo Switch, PS4 And Xbox One Later This Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 8, 2020 @ 7:28 p.m. PDT

Supraland is a first-person metroidvania, inspired by classics such as Metroid, Portal, Mario and Zelda, mixing exploration, puzzle and fighting.

In Supraland you explore a large interconnected world in which most ways are at first unpassable until you find new abilities to overcome those obstacles. A cornerstone of Supraland's design was to create abilities that are so versatile, they will keep on surprising you by how many different usages they have. If you combine your abilities, the possibilities become even bigger.

Most of the game is about exploring the sandbox world to track down secrets. Often you will think you are about to get out of bounds and beat the level designer, but right there is a chest waiting for you with a very rewarding upgrade. Supraland respects your lifetime and doesn't bloat the playtime with unlimited no-brainer collectibles.

The deeper you get into the game the more you will be facing creative puzzles you've never seen anywhere before, encouraging you to stop and think about what abilities you have and how you can use them in yet another way. Puzzle types that I already knew from other games were immediately rejected in the design process. And it's important to me that once you understand the idea behind a puzzle, you can pretty much immediately solve it instead of having to go through a cumbersome, frustrating execution.

The fighting mechanics are inspired by old-school, fast-paced shooter games like Unreal, Doom and Quake, encouraging high-speed strafing and jumping while throwing shot after shot at hordes of charging enemies without ever having to worry about weapons reloading.


In the demo you can play the first big section of the game and decide if it's for you. The demo progress continues into the full version; you don't need to play anything twice!

Key Features:

  • 3D Visuals: An innovative first-person 3D platformer featuring charming visuals combined with multitude of crafty and unique puzzles.
  • Open World Design: The ultimate open-world “sandbox” with rewarding exploration gameplay and squillions of secrets to discover.
  • Versatile Abilities: Unlock new versatile abilities and combine them to overcome imaginative puzzles or uncover shrouded secrets.

Currently available for PC (Steam), Supraland is coming to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on October 22, 2020.
