Drainus lands on Nintendo Switch, published by Playism
Independently developed by Team Ladybug, in collaboration with Why so serious, Inc., Drainus debuted for Windows PC through Steam back in May, currently verified for use with the Steam Deck.

Playism published the story-driven sidescrolling shoot-em-up for Nintendo Switch. Players join protagonists Irina and Ghenie on board the stolen Drainus fighter ship to take on the Kharlal Empire. The Drainus is armed with a Reflector capable of absorbing energy projectiles to enhance its functions, utilize new weapons and launch counterattacks.

The downloadable soundtrack, composed by peposoft, is hosted on Steam.


From the Nintendo product page:
Out in the far reaches of space lies a planet suffering from the oppressive rule of an Empire. Deciding to fight back, a slave steals and takes control of the "Drainus", a ship that embodies the Empire's latest energy-absorbing technology. Zip around space shooting down hordes of enemies in this exciting side-scrolling shooter!
