Sure thing, here we go.

So, Kitfox Games? And Freehold Games? They’re up to something wild. Apparently, “Caves of Qud” is heading to the Nintendo Switch. This console exclusive—a fancy way of saying “Switch only, folks”—is in the works, and honestly, it’s kinda got my attention.
Right, so this game is like, a 2D turn-based roguelike, which means you’ll be navigating this bizarre world full of sentient plants and mutant buddies. I know, right? Who comes up with this stuff?
Anyway, let’s break it down, if I can even keep my thoughts straight. You can do literally anything. It’s like they just said, “Whatever, just go nuts.” It’s this whole world that’s deeply simulated. You hate that wall in your way? No problem—smash it with a pickaxe or dissolve it with some corrosive gas mutation. Yep, walls have melting points. Who knew?
And get this, the creatures are as real as pretend gets. Monsters, NPCs—everything’s got skills, gear, and allegiances. There’s this crazy mutation where you can, like, control a spider’s mind. Imagine skittering around, spinning webs, munching on who-knows-what. My brain’s spinning just thinking about it.
Factions? Yeah, over 70 of them. I can’t even manage one group chat and here we’ve got apes, crabs, trees, robots. It’s like a chaotic family dinner, and I am here for it.
The setting’s like nothing you’ve seen—science fantasy, they call it. They’ve been building this universe for over fifteen years. I can’t stay focused on a project for more than a day.
Gameplay? It’s tactical, turn-based mayhem. Use whatever gadgets and skills you’ve got. Honestly, sounds like even I could come up with some sort of ridiculous strategy.
Oh, and speaking of role-playing—quests, NPCs, villages. It’s a mix of scripted and random stuff. I bet there’s a story tucked away somewhere. Probably.
They’ve even got an original soundtrack—over two hours of tunes to wander to. Music to get lost in, quite literally.
So, keep an eye out because “Caves of Qud” is dropping digitally on the Nintendo eShop. Worldwide! Winter 2025. Set your reminders or scribble it on a sticky note.
And they’ve got a trailer and screenshots to drool over, but, uh, you’ll have to dig those up on your own. Am I the only one who sometimes gets lost just looking at screenshots? Maybe. Anyway, let me know what you think when you catch a glimpse.
