Riverside is in Peril!
In Ruffy and the Riverside, you’ll join the titular hero on an exciting mission to stop the villainous Groll, who is attempting to destroy the World Core. Along the way, you won’t be alone; you’ll travel to fantastic places with helpful friends like Pip the sassy bee, Sir Eddler the adventurous mole, and Silja the wise turtle.
Meet a lively cast of characters, each with their own unique stories and dialogues, as the exciting adventure unfolds with unexpected surprises for Ruffy around every corner.
Harness the Magical Power of SWAP
The core gameplay mechanic is what truly sets this adventure apart. As Ruffy, you’ll harness the magical power of SWAP and use it to transform the game world itself.
With this ability, you can change the sun into the moon or ice into lava, all while overcoming countless puzzles and effortlessly manipulating objects to your will. Need to cross a river? Turn a stone into wood to create a boat! See a path blocked? Swap a wall into rubble to clear the way!
The unique SWAP ability opens up endless possibilities, making every moment feel magical and full of surprises.
From a 3D World to 2D Puzzles
Your adventure will see you exploring the marvellous open world of Riverside in 3D, where you can embark on playful side quests like teaming up with the Fish Gang to defeat bully sharks. You’ll master challenges and collect magic treasures across seven distant regions, riding hay bales and performing tricks on secret rails to discover unknown areas.
But Ruffy just won’t stop! When the 3D world ends, he will often leap into new 2D levels to collect even more treasures. But watch out – many obstacles in these side-scrolling sections must be swapped before you can safely pass through walls.
A World of Your Own Design
Adding another layer of creativity, you can even design your own textures with Pix, transforming the game world into your own personal adventure, filled with surprises around every corner.
