New Ruffy and the Riveside Trailer Highlights Plentiful Gameplay Varitey

Revealed during The Mix 2024 Showcase, Ruffy and the Riverside is an upcoming indie that looks to combine the usual collectathon of yesteryear while adding plenty of new ideas into the mix, and the latest trailer showcases some of what players can expect.
The highlight of the trailer is the Swap ability, which allows Ruffy to copy the texture of everything in the world and paste it to change their behavior. The trailer shows Ruffy copying ice and using it on the sea, turning it into a massive icy path to walk across, as well as taking vines and using them on a waterfall, making it climbable to reach new heights.
That is not all that was shown, as players will get to solve puzzles, fight bosses, and meet quirky characters, all in a whole inspired by the Mode 7 graphic style found on the SNES, giving it a distinct look coupled with a colorful art style, ticking all the boxes of both nostalgia and creativity.
Ruffy and the Riverside is set to release in Q1 2025 and will be available on Steam, Switch, PS5, and Xbox, so no matter the platform, everyone can try this delightfully wicked-looking indie.
If you are looking for a more JRPG adventure, Sea of Stars‘ recent Dawn of Equinox update brings some new features and additions to the game, somehow making it an even better game than before.
