Fairy Fencer Advent Dark Force is Coming to Nintendo Switch this Fall
Today Idea Factory International and Ghostlight have announced that Fairy Fencer Advent Dark Force will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch eShop later on this Fall!
Furies and Fencers! Rise above! Fairy Fencer F™: Advent Dark Force will be arriving to the Nintendo™ Switch digitally on the Nintendo™ eShop this Fall 2018! The European version will be released by Ghostlight. The game will be available for $39.99 and will also include all 25 DLC available in the original PlayStation®4 release!
In a land filled with power-imbued weapons known as Furies, the Fencers who wield them are locked in combat to collect as many Furies as possible. The unassuming hero, Fang, finds himself caught up in their struggle when he pulls a sword from a stone. With up to six characters on the battlefield, a revolving cast of party members, and a customizable world, join Fang and his band of Fencers in an epic battle to revive the Goddess or the Vile God!
Fairy Fencer Advent Dark Force is an enhanced version of Idea Factory’s PS3 title Fairy Fencer F with much more content and new routes to explore. This is one of my personal favorite JRPGs from Compile Heart so I am excited to see that this game will be heading to the Nintendo Switch!
