Azkend 2: The World Beneath (Match-3) releasing next week on Nintendo Switch

10tons is by far one of the most active publishers on Nintendo Switch, with no less than 10 games released in 2017 alone. And guess what: it doesn’t look like they’re going to slow down with releases in 2018!

Their very first game for this year is Azken 2: The World Beneath, a Match-3 game, that will be released next week in Europe (on January 12th), with North America most likely getting it on the same day. The price? 7.99€ ($7.99). It will require 113MB of free space on your Nintendo Switch or microSD Card.

Despite being a Match-3 game, Azken 2: The World Beneath does have a proper story:

While traveling from Liverpool to New York your ship was pulled down into a massive maelstrom and you woke up in a place that may have never been gazed upon by the eyes of men. From now on your goal is to ascend from the bowels of the earth and return to civilization.

The game offers dozens of levels, with “variable gameplay” and different level styles. The story is said to be “Jules Vernesque”, and is told via “gorgeous animated full screen cut scenes and professional voice overs”.

As far as gameplay goes, Azkend 2: The World Beneath allows you to use almost 20 unique power-ups, that you need to choose wisely. There’s also two challenge game modes:

  • Time: two minute bite-sized game mode where you try to get as many points as possible, with online leaderboards
  • Medals: replay the levels from the Story mode, and try to get a medal from each one.

Finally, here’s the trailer, some screenshots, as well as the list of key features (not from the Nintendo Switch version):

  • Eight unique hand drawn & animated scenes
  • Three game modes including the adventure and two challenges
  • Over 60 levels in the story mode
  • Compete on the GC leaderboards in the Time-challenge
  • Challenge yourself and replay the levels in the Medals-challenge
  • Gain more than a dozen GC achievements
  • Professional voice overs in story scenes
  • Carefully polished puzzle gameplay
  • Cinematic soundtrack by Jonathan Geer

Azkend 2 (Switch – eShop) comes out on January 12th in Europe, and later this year in North America. The Upcoming Games page has been udpated!
