<p>Turn-based RPG <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/doom_and_destiny"><strong>Doom & Destiny</strong></a> – the self-described ‘Flying Spaghetti-Fantasy Adventure’ – drops onto the eShop tomorrow. A farcical take on the old-school JRPG formula, your party of four friends encounter all the classic things you’d expect to find on a perilous top-down adventure – dragons, elves, monsters, er.., spaghetti – and you’ll likely come across a host of nods and winks to games and characters of old.</p>
<p>Although it’s been seen on various platforms over the years, this is the first time it’ll grace a Nintendo console. The official blurb highlights a comprehensive list of figures including:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>– 20 hours of story and 20 hours of extra adventure<br />– 100 levels of experience and nerdy customization<br />– Choose your nerdy leader to apply special bonuses to your party<br />– More than 200 special powers and spells<br />– More than 300 enemies<br />– More than 500 items between potions, chips and weapons<br />– More than 700 locations,<br />– More than 10,000 lines of crazy dialog<br />– The one and only Epic Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p>That last entry aside, everything seems to be present and correct for a sterling retro adventure.</p>
