While the world of Salt hangs of the brink of collapse, a heroine known as Dandara is your only ray of hope in this stylish 2D Metroidvania. Seeing it’s first ever physical release on Nintendo Switch, Dandara: Trials of Fear will be receiving a slightly different treatment from Super Rare Games with this collector’s bundle.

This 1,000 copy collector’s edition comes bundled with a cartridge containing the entire game (including the new Trials of Fear content), a 180 page full-colour guidebook, a custom designed pendant, a full set of 52 playing cards featuring unique art, a collector’s pin badge, an A3 size double-sided map, 2 soundtrack CDs, 2 sets of trading cards, a sticker, and an awesome collector’s box. If you’d rather not spend £75 on this awesome bundle, there is still the standard Super Rare edition on offer for £25. Both versions can be preordered from Thursday 3rd September at 6pm BST from the Super Rare Games store.

About Dandara

The world of Salt hangs on the brink of collapse. The citizens, once free spirits, now stand oppressed and isolated. But not all is lost, for out of this aether of fear arises a heroine, a ray of hope. Her name is Dandara.

Welcome to a unique 2D metroidvania platformer full of mystical creatures and boundless exploration. Defy gravity as you jump across floors, walls, and ceilings alike. Discover the mysteries and secrets hidden throughout the world of Salt and its diverse array of characters. Empower Dandara for combat and survival against enemies bent on oppression.

I am a huge Nintendo fan, hence why NintyBuzz exists. I especially love all things Zelda and Metroid. NintyBuzz was started by me back in the Summer of 2014, it started out mainly as a hobby, though the site has gradually grown, and I hope it grows for many years to come!
