- Tales of Kenzera: Zau arrives on the Nintendo Switch very soon and it's shaping up to be something special. Let's take a look at what it's all about.
Wield the dance of the shaman.
A grieving boy begins to read a Bantu tale written by his late father. Adventure into the beautiful and treacherous lands of Kenzera as Zau, a young shaman who bargains with the God of death to bring his Baba back from darkness. With your cosmic powers and untried courage, you advance into unknown mythological lands. Once bursting with life, Kenzera is now rife with lost ancestral spirits. As Zau advances toward his goal, three mighty beings lie in wait, fearsome in their strength yet somehow strangely familiar. Will you embrace the dance of the shaman?
Embark on a poignant single-player story shaped by actor Abubakar Salim’s own experience with grief, discovering how love gives us the courage to press on after devastating loss. Wield powers from the Sun and the Moon to defeat restless spirits in rhythmic combat and become a worthy Nganga: a spiritual healer. Discover a rich universe with untold lore of chaos & order and journey through mystical 2.5D realms awash with colour and depth, emboldened by multi-award-winning composer Nainita Desai's enchanting original score.
Crafted by Surgent Studios, the entertainment studio founded by actor Abubakar Salim (Assassin's Creed: Origins, Raised by Wolves) and published by EA Originals, Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU takes you on a thrilling emotional journey inspired by the rich myths of Bantu cultures.

The Next Must Buy Metroidvania on Nintendo Switch? Tales of Kenzera: Zau
#switchcorner #nintendo #talesofkenzera - Hry
Thanks for watching, liking, and subscribing! Will you be checking out Tales of Kenzera Zau when it drops on the Switch? That demo is live now on Steam if you want to jump in before!
What you presented in the opening of this video tells me that I need this.
I’m excited to give it a try, it looks very interesting and I’m excited to explore the untapped African setting and mythos in a metroidvania 😄
Ooh. Metroidvania! Yesss. My dear metroidvania fans, we are eating good this year. Lets go!
I HUNGER
@@unicron8soundwave724 we all hunger!
This game keeps looking better and better every time we get to see more of it. Surprised they only showed a clip of it in this sizzle reel for the direct, but yeah, I am looking forward to seeing how this title comes together, and hope the team really hits this one out of the park in the same way Prince of Persia did. Thanks for the thorough preview!
Coming to ps plus day one 💪🏾
I’m still gonna buy it to show support for the devs
This looks great. I'm definitely interested. Thanks for the vid
That Metroidvania “Ebeneezer” really disappeared, didn’t it.
Thank you! We appreciate the thoughtful feedback 🙏
An action platforms by design that has already been referred to by so many YT videos and gamers as an “upcoming vania” they will always dub it as such even though it may not be haha
Yeah we will have to wait till the full release, I do see Map in the pause menu so maybe we will be going back and forth to early areas but whats in the demo is linear and it seems to be advancing through them. There doesn't seem to be enough branching paths or out of reach areas to suggest you would need to
I saw the trailer for this and prince of Persia on the same day a few months ago, they looked fairly similar
Certainly looks very pretty, going to need to see a full review though for sure to see if its its just and glitz
Can’t wait for this looks badass
Will definitely have to check out the demo.
Honestly I had no idea this was a metroidvania game from the trailer. I might pick it up on the switch
it's already on my switch wish list. no date shown yet though.
The release date is now showing on the eshop so thats always good
Today!
I'd get it even just for the visuals❤
Awesome. I was very much interested in this game since the official announcement. :D
I hope for the developers sake this is not “linear” because these kinds of games live and die on how fun it is to figure things out and not feel like you are just running on a path
They've said Metroidvania inspired which could mean a number of things, it seems so far, linear levels with some branching pathways that will require a skill to get out of or you'll need to find a key. I'm not seeing any out of reach areas however or doorways I can't access this far which leads me to believe, there wouldn't be a reason to come back, I could be completely wrong however as theres a map system that's unavailable, and theres signposts directing to locations which means, things just may not have appeared yet.
Ah looks cool. I've been playing a lot of wiiu and switch games on my steam deck since I got it last month. hopefully it'll play well on release on steam deck I'd love to try it out. but usually the platformers emulate well.
That game has been on my lookout list ever since it was announced. I can't wait to see how it performs on the Switch. Hopefully the same way Prince of Persia did!
Why is this on switch, but not on ps4
Sweet Baby Inc. is associated with this title.
Honestly, not sure who that is but just did a quick google search for the website and they've worked on a ton of things it seems, Alan Wake 2, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Sable, Suicide Squad, and then it seems they work with pretty much all the game studios. I am seeing reports about the studio or whatever they do having issues right now, but I'm out and about so can't stop to actually look into too much, will look later
@@SwitchCornerIn every case, they're an activist group who openly have said they want to destroy games as we know them because it appeals way too much to 'cishet white males.' They want games to start pandering to minorities instead of the majority that actually *play the games.* In other words, they want to take away developer's freedom of expression and art and only follow the politics they see acceptable. Not much different from USSR if you ask me.
False, but I know you see a black character and you’re inner bigot can’t help itself 😂
@@SwitchCornerlook up Bebe Sucre while you're at it. Particularly the Directors of the company.
Looks great... on STEAM. I'll wait until your Switch review, I've been bit before.
For sure! Wanted to make it clear where the gameplay was from and looking at the trailer I'd say it was PC too. Here's hoping it stands up
A must buy and there few game. About time
I'm just hoping the Switch version isn't too much of a downgrade.
Real Kangz
Looks great. I hope the Switch version is much of a downgrade.
I came for the future, and no. Besides Sweeetbabyinc is involved
Ugh, no. I played the demo on Steamdeck. This game is amateur hour. HORRID level design. Absolutely horrid. And the enemy variety? Bleh. And the nonsensical story dialog that CONSTANTLY interrupts your play session with these encyclopedic back and forths that are so dull and boring I dang near quit playing just because of that. This is a game with a beautiful veneer and some decent mechanics, but beyond that everything is not just average, but notably sub-par. I cancelled my Switch preorder immediately after that demo.
Uh, interesting. This game looks really good judging by the trailers but I guess that can be deceiving……well just download the demo and try for myself I guess. Thanks for the potential warning though.
@@zinoelgato Ya it looked incredible! Hence why I rushed to play the demo. I was NOT impressed to say the least. But try it out. Maybe you'll like it more than I do
are u gonna buy this game when it comes out next Tuesday
That Metroidvania “Ebeneezer” really disappeared, didn’t it.
I thought you was saying it was delisted then and had to check! With the theming I imagine it's going to get promotion every xmas
@@SwitchCorner whoops. Just meant that no one talks about it anymore. 😅
