Dusk Diver splashes down on the Switch

Okay, hands up who else was expecting a sedate, atmospheric aquatic adventure? Instead we get something that looks like a mash-up between Digimon Cyber Sleuth, Tron and musou territory thanks to PQube's latest release, Dusk Diver which is out this week, digital only.

Just like Digimon, it borrows from real world, starting at Exit 6 of the MRT station Ximending in Taiwan. You take the role of high school student Yang Yumo and experience her fantasy action adventure through Ximending and Youshanding, a mirror world with two faces.

After learning about this hidden shadow dimension and meeting the Guardians of Ximending, players start an exciting adventure, alternating between exploration and socialising with the characters of Ximending during the day and action combat starting with the hours of dusk!



The non-combat part of the game is not only a way to take a digital tour through one of Asia's most buzzing places, full of anime and manga stores, amazing street food and more, but is also tied to your progress: finding a nice restaurant to eat before a combat mission will boost your stats and cultivating the relationship with your favourite Guardian will improve your effectiveness in joint fights!
