Runa, a new JRPG coming to Nintendo Switch (or next console)

Rune, the next Kickstarter hit game, is set to come to Nintendo hardware in the future. The campaign quickly exceeded its fundraising target of €45,000 and currently stands at over €185,000. No consoles are included in the additional targets, but it appears the team is already looking at other platforms for the future.

Fennec Studio will primarily focus on PC. However, the developer is quick to point out that the game is “also designed to be played on consoles and can be played with a controller.” The goal is to release the game on a Nintendo console in the future, but what that means is unclear. The Nintendo Switch is included as a logo on Kickstarter, but Fennec Studio may opt to release on the brand’s next console instead. In addition, the game will be translated into French after release.

Runa is an adventure game inspired by modern and classic JRPGs, with turn-based combat, social connections, and a rich sci-fi world. Promising to preserve what makes classic JRPGs fun, Runa also offers rudimentary puzzles and base building, as well as mini-games like farming, fishing and cooking. Rune takes place in a world where runes symbolize the technological achievements of an ancient civilization. The use of runes is necessary both for home use and for combat. Only certain people, known as Adepts, are able to fully control them and unlock their true powers.
