by Rainier on March 15, 2021 @ 10:44 a.m. PDT

Nira is a fast-paced survival exploration game where you explore endless procedurally generated worlds to gather resources you need to survive.

In Nira players explore procedurally generated islands in this filled with fast-paced building, crafting, fighting, farming and quests.

Build a base and a farm, go fishing, battle ogres, cook yourself a meal, make friends with a mysterious Totem, ride an alpaca or fly a plane, and tame wild animals to fight hordes of goblins; do whatever is needed to survive.

While battling to remain alive, unravel the story of a mysterious Totem by befriending it and taking on the quests it gives. Offer items to gain experience and upgrade the Totem to unlock superior quests that grant even more experience.

But beware, when night falls, creatures arise...

Announced for Switch during the MIX Game Dev Direct event, Nira will be available this year on the Nintendo Switch and PC.

"A goal of mine for Nira was to bring the game to console and thanks to Graffiti Games we’re able to have Nira launch on the Nintendo Switch,” said Barry, founder and developer at Baseline Games “The minimalistic pixel-art and fast-paced gameplay are perfect for the portability of the Switch. I’m excited to see what Nintendo fans think of Nira and I hope it can become an open-world survival game that players won’t be able to put down."
