Micetopia is an upcoming Metroidvania title that's heading for iOS and Android. It previously released on Nintendo Switch in November 2020 where it was developed by Ninja Rabbit Studio and published by Ratalaika Games. Its mobile port, meanwhile, will be published by the prolific Crescent Moon Games.

As you'll have guessed from the name, you will play as brave mouse warrior who must battle their way through the titular world of Micetopia to save its inhabitants that have been taken by some evil force. You have to fight against these dark minions as you save each of your fellow mice.

Given that Micetopia is a Metroidvania game you can expect to unlock a host of new abilities as you progress through your adventure. A mixture of platforming and combat will make up the bulk of the gameplay as you fell foes and dodge roll away from their attacks. You can check out some gameplay from Micetopia in the embedded tweet above. Here you'll see our mouse hero doing battle with a Crystal Golem and catch a glimpse of the game's beautiful pixel art style. It's an aesthetic that's grown tiresome for some but still remains a style I very much enjoy when it's done well. 

Micetopia will be heading for the App Store and Google Play at some stage, though there is no word on when just yet. Until then, the game is currently available on the Nintendo Switch store where it costs $4.99.
