There’s no slowing down for Sungrand Studios. The team behind the ‘Silver Falls‘ series managed to squeeze in two final games on the 3DS and Wii U eShops before their closure last year and have since announced a host of remakes and remasters to go about bringing these now lost (or region-locked) titles to the Switch.
One such game that is making the jump today is Silver Falls: Guardians and Metal Exterminators S — a mission-based action RPG that initially launched on the New 3DS in North America back in 2022. This is the first time that the game has seen a European release and it has a whole bunch of fresh features to boot.
The Switch remaster sees the addition of new playable characters, a new combat system, five times the amount of story and a soundtrack that has doubled in size. What’s more the game can connect to every other title in the Silver Falls series (including ones that are yet to come, apparently), with characters and enemies being transferrable between the two.
You can find an official summary of the game and some screenshots from developer Sungrand Studios below:
In the 1980s, the sky was colored by neon lights and the air smelled like hairspray. A hardworking ranch hand, Oxa Boscova, and a daydreaming carpenter, Gold Prospector, meet up for a blind date. Things seem fine until Oxa sees a distant explosion on the ranch where she works. When Oxa runs toward a bright light in the sky, Gold follows close behind. This ordinary date is about to become a terrifying fight for survival!
