Alongside announcing the Elsie release date window, the Guerrilla Collective and Access-Ability Showcases revealed that we can now look forward to joining Elsie and Andru on their action-packed adventure on the Nintendo Switch. Plus, Playtonic Friends and Knight Shift Games gave us a detailed look at the game’s multitude of accessibility options.
Elsie is a colorful, roguelike action platformer filled with procedurally-generated retro-inspired levels to explore and kick bot butt through. It’s games like Hades that inspire the game’s epic boss battles and endless replayability, offering diverse and interesting gameplay with each run thanks to upgrades and various combat styles.
During this year’s Access-Ability Showcase, the portion of Summer Game Fest 2024 dedicated to spotlighting games with accessibility settings that go above and beyond, Playtonic Friends showed off Elsie’s in-depth settings menu. You can adjust the game’s background saturation, add background blur, crank up the font size, and apply colorblind-friendly filters to suit your access needs.
With additional options linked to screen shake, controller rumble, invincibility, and more, it’s clear that Knight Shift Games and Playtonic Friends are determined to make Elsie as accessible as possible for disabled gamers with a range of impairments. Historically, Switch games have had fewer accessibility options than their PC counterparts, so it’s awesome to see indie developers taking the time to include console gamers in their accessibility initiatives.
