Iconoclasts Announced for Nintendo Switch, Boss Rush and New Difficulty Coming

Joakim Sandberg’s Iconoclasts, a long-in-development Metroidvania-esque platformer with an awesome art-style, will be heading to Nintendo Switch. Sandberg announced the news on Twitter and also confirmed that there would be a new difficulty mode and Boss Rush feature. Considering the overall number of bosses and their designs, it should be fun to run a gauntlet of them.

It should be noted that the new difficulty setting will be making the game easier for those who just want to experience the story. Whether these features will come to other versions of the game or not hasn’t been confirmed. News on a proper release date will come later though so there is some waiting to do.

Iconoclasts was in development for roughly seven years and focuses on Robin, an unlicensed mechanic who incurs the wrath of the One Concern. While escaping from the One Concern, Robin will meet various allies, solve puzzles and even unravel the secrets of the world. The game is currently available for PS4, PlayStation Vita and PC.

Gasp, #Iconoclasts is coming to #Switch! I look forward to new people experiencing my game and thanks for support if you did already 🧡

I'll be adding to all changing difficulty as you load game, a difficulty that lets you get past harder challenges without dying and Boss Rush! pic.twitter.com/4yXbmwy7c3

If unclear, the new difficulty setting will make things *easier*, for those that just wanna see where the story goes 🙂
