Description
It’s Swap Sword! A knife-sharp adventure through a brutal world of puzzling bushido. Swap Sword takes the familiar landscape of a match-3 puzzle game and cuts in the tactical challenge of a roguelike-style battlefield. When pitted against a monstrous army over ever-changing terrain, will you be able to draw your sword before you draw your last breath?
History
AP Thomson and Diego Garcia were both game design instructors and alumni at the NYU Game Center in Brooklyn, New York. Both had designed games that were supported by the NYU Game Center Incubator: the IGF award winning Beglitched and the critically acclaimed Sunburn! In January 2015, AP built a small prototype that combined a traditional match-3 style puzzle game with a tactical roguelike. Seeking to expand the prototype in scope and appeal, AP recruited Diego to the project and the two of them spent the next year developing Swap Sword into the game it is today.
