The Swords of Ditto is an action role-playing video game developed by Onebitbeyond and published by Devolver Digital.

Gameplay

The Swords of Ditto is an action role-playing video game with roguelike elements played from a top-down perspective.[1][2] Players take control of a randomly generated hero character that is tasked with defeating an enemy known as Mormo within a certain amount of time.[3] The game has a cyclical structure for iterative playthroughs; the main adventure repeats with a new character and altered world once the time limit has elapsed.[3] The game supports two-player cooperative play.[3]

Development and release

The Swords of Ditto was developed by Onebitbeyond, an indie studio founded by Jonathan Biddle, who serves as game's creative director.[4] Biddle was previously a co-owner and design director of Curve Digital; he left the company in 2015 to form Onebitbeyond.[5] The Swords of Ditto's writer, Ed Fear, noted that the game's story was designed to be unobtrusive due to the roguelike nature of the game.[6]

The game was announced by its publisher Devolver Digital in June 2017.[1] The game was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, Linux, macOS on 24 April 2018,[3][7] and Nintendo Switch on 2 May 2019 under the game title, The Swords of Ditto: Mormo's Curse.[8]

The free update titled Mormo's Curse was released on 2 May 2019 which included a big overhaul to the overall structure of the game, performance improvements, and bug fixes.[9] This update also made the game available for Nintendo Switch.
