Ariana and the Elder Codex (Switch)

Take your magical library on the go with Ariana and the Elder Codex for the Nintendo Switch. This portable action platformer puts you in the role of Ariana, a young librarian who must dive into the Seven Hero Codices to mend their corrupted pages. In a world where magic has been lost, your special Librarian skills are the only hope for restoring balance. The Nintendo Switch version is perfectly suited for both short bursts of play and long investigative sessions, offering a seamless transition between handheld and docked modes as you explore the mysteries of the library.

The gameplay revolves around a versatile magic system featuring more than 30 unlockable spells and skills. You can equip up to six abilities at once, giving you the power to customise Ariana's combat style as you encounter different guardians and environmental puzzles. Repairing the books requires you to complete platforming and combat challenges at specific Repair Points; doing so quickly will reward you with permanent HP boosts, making the journey more manageable. On the Switch, the combo-based combat remains responsive and satisfying, allowing for precise control during even the most chaotic encounters.

Prepare to face the guardians of the altered Codices, formidable bosses that stand in the way of your progress. To defeat them, you will need to master your movement, time your attacks, and utilise the Magic Items you have crafted to gain the upper hand. The story is a deep and emotional journey as Ariana searches for her missing parents and uncovers the hidden truths of the library. With its beautiful character designs, full voice acting, and engaging Metroidvania-style exploration, Ariana and the Elder Codex is a standout addition to the Nintendo Switch library.
