There seem to be plenty of interesting game concepts surfacing on the Switch recently, FAR: Lone Sails certainly seems to be an original offering in a unique setting which might well be worth checking out when it launches on August 18th for the price of £14.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Brought to us by Okomotive and published by Mixtvision this certainly looks like it could be one virtual journey worth taking.

Check below for the details and a trailer...

Summer is the season to travel: What better time to bring the acclaimed indie game FAR: Lone Sails to Nintendo Switch. In this atmospheric vehicle adventure, players embark on a unique journey through a barren, yet hauntingly beautiful world.

In a unique hybrid of ship and train, you travel across an ocean-turned-desert following the tracks of a once flourishing civilization. Through an array of roadblocks and through hazardous weather, you need to keep your vessel going. Where will this journey take you? Are you the last of your kind?

FAR: Lone Sails is all about the experience of being on your way. It wants you to travel into the unknown and be curious. Your enormous vessel is not only a means of transport, but your shelter and your only companion in the world. Without your machine, all hope of finding answers would be lost. The only way to go is forward – there may still be something out there that is worth taking the risks of travelling through unknown grounds.

FAR: Lone Sails on Nintendo Switch is a perfect travel companion that helps you make yourself at home even when you are far away. While your miniscule character manoeuvres through the vast world, taking care of your vehicle may demand your full attention: manage your fuel supplies, your vehicle’s condition, and find your way through obstacles of all sorts. But don’t forget to enjoy the relaxing moments, too, sailing effortlessly while star-gazing from the roof of your mobile home for a while.

What once was the bottom of an ocean, has turned into a graveyard for submarines and super tankers. Once bustling island settlements have decayed into hilltop ruins. What secrets do they hold? And more importantly… is there any salvage to be found?!

While the greater goal of the journey remains to be uncovered by the player, urgent short-term necessities call for immediate action. The train-like vehicle needs to be fueled, maintained and upgraded to master the challenges that lie ahead…

Is this a post-apocalyptic game with a vision that you could potentially see yourself enjoying? Does the unique art-style appeal to you? Or will you consider waiting for a sale before you set sail?
