At this point 2018 has become the “year of the Metroidvania”, despite having neither a new Metroid nor Castlevania. Indie developers have been picking up the slack in their place, and the Switch in particular has been getting a lot of love, with a library of explore-a-thons that’s about to expand even more as Bit Kid finally adds its game Chasm to the collection next week.

You’ll be able to grab Chasm next Thursday, October 11th.
