Roguelite action game Dandy Ace will launch for PC via Steam on March 25, followed by PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch this summer, publisher Neowiz and developer Mad Mimic announced.
“Dandy Ace is a game that looks charming and inviting, but you soon find out just how far the rabbit hole goes once you start playing,” said Neowiz producer manager Don Hudson in a press release. “Mad Mimic’s made a blend of action RPG and roguelite that’s both addictive and stylish, with countless ways to play through its myriad winding levels. We cannot wait for players to get their hands on the final product.”
Mad Mimic COO Luis Sampaio added, “Dandy Ace has been a labor of love from the start. We’re thrilled to be finally showing off every trick Ace has up his sleeve this March, and we’ll be revealing plans for downloadable content in the near future!”
