iPhone pixel-art adventure Sword & Sworcery EP releasing ‘within the next month or so’

Astoundingly beautiful iPhone and iPad adventure game Sword & Sworcery EP will be released “within the next month or so”, as Jori Baldwin, at developer SuperBrothers, tells Pocket Gamer.

Baldwin describes the development as being in the “polishing stage”, meaning the main construction of the game, plus story and graphics are pretty much locked down, but a few extra weeks are being used to make it perfect.

The game uses a chunky pixel-art style and gorgeous chip-tune sounds to paint an epic action adventure, with a huge world to explore and plenty of nasties to beat up in a Punch-Out!! inspired battling system.

It’s certainly one of the most anticipated games on Apple devices. Sword & Sworcery EP will be available on both iPhone and iPad before the year is out - not too long, now.
