Nintendo Download: Keeping Things Classy

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones arrives for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, plus Sunderfolk delivers unique turn-based action.

Getting mobile with some co-op

First off, we have to admit that we’re not really familiar with Sunderfolk. But although the turn-based strategy game hasn’t been on our radar, it’s looking mighty interesting. Turns out that the title, which just landed for the Switch, has a pretty unique gimmick, when it comes to multiplayer. Dreamhaven and developer Secret Door’s offers four player co-op play to that end, and we’re talking about couch co-op by the way.

You might be thinking that said co-op would simply be accomplished via a quartet of controllers, but that’s decidedly not the case. Instead, Sunderfolk uses players’ mobile device as the interface, by way of a separately downloaded app. How’s that for interesting new tricks in a Switch game?

On top of Sunderfolk, this week also brings yet another Game Boy Advance title back to life for Nintendo’s Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service. That, as you’ve no doubt seen above, is Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. So if you’re in the mood for a little strategic JRPG(ish) action, you’re covered.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:

  • Sunderfolk – Rediscover game night with the magic of Sunderfolk, a shared turn-based tactical RPG adventure where your mobile device becomes the controller* and your Nintendo Switch system becomes your guide to the Sunderlands. Up to four players can play in this couch co-op adventure using their own devices. Choose from one of six classes, including Arcanist, Bard, Berserker and more. Help improve your home village of Arden between missions by unlocking different local vendors and building relationships with other Sunderfolk to earn in-game rewards. Don’t forget to outfit your characters with new skills, weapons, trinkets and more before heading out on your next run! Sunderfolk is available now.
  • Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online
    • Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones – The kingdom of Renais lies shattered by a sudden invasion. Use cunning strategy to guide the royal heirs Eirika and Ephraim on their twin quest to rebuild their home. Take advantage of the terrain and the weapon in your hand, attacking enemies from afar using magic or up close with your sword. Each weapon has its own strength and weakness, so choose wisely when attacking your opponent – if a soldier perishes on the battlefield, they’re gone forever! Upgrade your troops to different classes, each with their own skills and weapons, and save the land from the forces of darkness. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is available now for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members**.
