"The merciless survival roguelite turn-based city builder" is coming to Nintendo Switch next month after earning 95% positive reviews on Steam

Dotage (stylized dotAGE), one of the biggest surprise indie hits of last year, is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 24. After nine years in development, it released last October on PC to unanimous praise.

Taking up that daunting task means you'll need to manage your community, assign workers to various tasks, and expand your village.  "Grow crops, herd animals, bury corpses, forge tools, upgrade buildings, train professionals, and produce dozens of resources," reads the Steam description.

As for the roguelite element, that comes in every time your village inevitably goes under and your Elder remembers lost memories, thereby bringing "new ailments, the mysterious VIPS, new Elders," and more
