We’ve taken our first dive into Vessels of Decay on Nintendo Switch 1, exploring its haunting pixel world where monsters drawn from myth and ancient folklore now reign supreme. Civilization has crumbled – and in its place, something far older and wilder has awakened.

This post-apocalyptic action-adventure follows Freja and her companion Mud as they venture through the ruins of a lost society, confronting creatures rooted in Scandinavian legend across beautifully decayed landscapes. With its retro-inspired art style and dark, reflective tone, Vessels of Decay blends melancholy exploration with intense action.

⚔️ What Awaits Within:

  • Dynamic Combat System — Shape every battle your way, from execution to takedown.
  • Stylized Finishers — Every creature offers a chance for cinematic, brutal victory.
  • Epic Multi-Stage Boss Fights — Mythic beasts demand strategy, reflex, and grit.
  • Handcrafted Pixel Environments — Each scene drips with detail, death, and lore.
  • Scandinavian-Inspired Adventure — Where folklore meets ruin in fast-paced exploration.

Whether you’re chasing legendary monsters or soaking in a uniquely Scandinavian atmosphere, Vessels of Decay offers a layered experience you won’t want to miss – and our first impressions on Switch 1 show the potential lurking beneath its grim surface
