However, once the game is powered on and the opening cinematic plays, the person will realize that this is no world for a friendly pony.
The story begins with Baldren. He is a warrior who is on his way to a seasonal competition with his nemesis, the wizard Namoris. While traveling, he goes through a place known as the dark wood. Magic portals are known to randomly appear in this wood, and it just so happens that one appears before Baldren. Namoris ambushes Baldren and uses his magic to blast him through the portal. Baldren lands in the world known as Rainbow Moon with no perceptible way back. Therefore, Baldren’s immediate conflict changes from defeating Namoris to finding his way home. Along the way, he will meet allies."
Publisher eastasiasoft has announced that Rainbow Moon is launching for the Switch today. The title is priced at $15 and takes up 1.9 GB.
The PS3 title Rainbow Moon will be making its Nintendo Switch debut next month. Follow six main characters on an unforgetable journey soon.
There's also the sequel rainbow skies. Tbh injust assumed this was already on the switch. I enjoyed it for what it was. Never did finish it though. I had the ps4 physical edition.
Yea, story wasn't great, especially dialogue, but some of the battle tactics got quite fun at higher levels. Sadly, I think Rainbow Skies sunk Sidequest Studios bc it came out years later than originally promised, and Vita enthusiasm had already died by then. EastAsiaSoft still owns this though as a publisher, so I'm guessing they're trying to squeeze some more out of it. I'd recommend it for like $15, probably nothing above that. I liked it enough.
I assumed it was too when I wrote it up. Never finished it either as fun as it was.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Since its launch in 2011, the PlayStation Vita has continually soldiered on despite western AAA support drying up, its own manufacturer moving its efforts to the PS4, and constant internet doom-saying that the console is dead (which, judging by a recent sales leak of North American software, it effectively has been for a number of years). Yet it’s taken until 2018 for Sony to deal the final two death blows – announcing that both production of physical carts in the west and distribution of the hardware worldwide will be ending in 2019.
This made me wonder about when we’ll see the final game land on the console and what form it will take. We already have multiple titles announced for release next year, including some final physical releases sneaking in just before the cut-off point. Even with western physical production ending, carts will still be available in Asia & Japan, and beyond that we’ve been given no date for the shut-down of the PlayStation Store (which will allow strong supporters like Ratalaika Games to keep going). So just what form will the final Vita game actually take?"
