Kemco’s retro-styled RPG, Sword of Elpisia, has gradually been released on all known platforms over the last couple of years, and now it finally has a physical release through Limited Run Games. While the game has been released for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation 4 and 5, unfortunately, only the latter receives an LRG release.

This is a Itorah review, specifically for the Nintendo Switch version. This game is also available for PC (Steam), Playstation 4/5 and Xbox Series S/X. The Switch version is available for €/$ 19.99 in the Nintendo eShop. Never have I been more torn by a game (and in particular by this port) than by Itorah. The German indie developer, Grimbart Tales, managed to create a visually stunning video game set in an immersive world, but unfortunately, they weren’t unable to get it to work properly on the Switch.
