Tomo: Endless Blue adds Switch 2 version
Anime-style open-world creature collector action RPG.
Anime-style open-world creature collector action RPG Tomo: Endless Blue will launch for Switch 2 alongside its previously announced PC (Steam) version, developer Onibi announced.
A Kickstarter campaign for the project has currently raised nearly $185,000 in funding, well over its $100,000 funding goal.
“The community has been asking about Nintendo Switch 2 since the first days of the campaign,” said Onibi founder and CEO Benjamin Devienne in a press release. “Tomo is about setting sail to find rare creatures, bringing them home, and building a world around them. That fantasy feels very natural on Nintendo hardware, and we wanted to celebrate the final days of the Kickstarter by confirming that bringing Tomo to Switch 2 is part of our plan.”
Onibi also confirmed plans for Mac and Linux versions, and that DRM-free alternatives will be available for players who prefer to own and play outside locked storefronts.
Here is an overview of the game, via Onibi:
About
Set sail through the Endless Blue, an ocean realm inhabited by the Tomo. Team up with your companions to fight or enjoy daily life. Build vehicles and contraptions to explore procedurally generated islands and villages, and meet unique characters along the way.
When worlds end, fragments of their civilizations become islands adrift in the Endless Blue. As players embark on a journey to uncover the story of each procedurally generated island, they discover vibrant villages filled with characters and Tomo living their lives, every island and village a microcosm of a unique civilization.
Whether players want to battle alongside Tomo companions, build intricate vehicles and contraptions out of blocks, or live a cozy life with their friends, the world of the Endless Blue is theirs to discover.
Key Features
- Befriend the Tomo – Players will meet extraordinary creatures known as the “Tomo,” each with unique powers they’ll use while fighting alongside the player. Tomo are also the player’s day-to-day companions, helping them build, farm, craft, cook, and more.
- Procedurally Generated Worlds – The game utilizes a combination of handcrafted content and bespoke procedural generation to create vibrant and diverse islands. Each island offers a variety of challenges, including battles against Tomo Champions, searches for mythical Tomo, and the uncovering of hidden secrets in ancient ruins.
- Voxel Physics – Blocks in Tomo: Endless Blue adhere to real-world physics, allowing players to construct vehicles and contraptions to aid their exploration or daily life. Whether it’s a boat, crane, or airship, players can build their own machines block by block—the possibilities are endless.
- Terrain-Based Live Combat – Players can switch between their own point-of-view and their Tomo companion’s. The blocks forming the surrounding terrain can be used strategically to gain the upper hand: for example, spread water to cool down a fire Tomo, then hit the water with an electric attack for massive damage.
- Multiplayer Capabilities – The game supports offline single-player gameplay, local network multiplayer and distant server play. There’s no limit on the number of players—it’s as many as the player’s device or server can support.
