Available to purchase, download, play and – we hope – enjoy on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch is Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition. Previously only available on PC via Steam, a place in which it’s gathered up some decent, if small, amounts of acclaim (currently sitting ‘Positive’ with a mere 16 reviews), Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition comes to Xbox and Switch in hope of making it big with a wider range of player.Â
It is priced up at £10.99 from the Xbox Store and will whisk you into the life of Asta, a young girl who is on the hunt for her older sister. See, they live in the crumbling city of Modigard, a place on the verge of collapse, and he sibling has upped and left, seemingly lost in the eye of a storm.
Equipped with just a bracelet, it’s up to Asta to roam the deadly streets and uncover the whereabouts of her sister. Thankfully that bracelet isn’t just ‘any old bracelet’, imbued with power and energy like nothing else. It’s this which allows it to work as a shield for Asta; something which is going to be needed as she fights off violent machines.Â
An adventure that is just waiting to unfold, unveiling the world of Modigard slowly and surely, this is one that looks to excite, built out with vibrant pixel-art visuals, dragging Xbox and Switch players in.Â
The end of the world may be waiting, but Asta has a job to do – will you help her succeed in the saving of her sister’s life? You’ll be able to do so by visiting the Xbox Store and picking up a copy of Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Alternatively grab it from the Steam page for PC, or the Nintendo eShop for Switch.Â
