It was back in August that we last heard of Saga of Sins — the demon hunting action platformer that looks like a moving stained glass window — but publisher Just For Games has now announced that this sin-slaying cleric will be bringing his religious rebellion to Switch on 30th March, 2023.
For those of you who missed the initial announcement, Saga of Sins sees you play as a mind-hopping cleric on a mission to purge the seven deadly sins from the thoughts of a local village. Sounds weird enough? Well, developers Bonus Level Entertainment ensure that it only gets stranger from here! The cleric can take on four different forms to combat these beasties (a werewolf, gargoyle, griffin and one more mystery transformation) and the whole thing takes place with a particularly church-y visual style.
Alongside the release date, Just For Games has also revealed a new trailer showing the seven deadly sins in action. While the visual style is still looking pretty fresh, we can’t help but be reminded of Demon’s Crest in the trailer’s iconography and gameplay. Check out the full video above to see what we mean!
For a little more on what the game is all about plus a detailed look at some screenshots, check out the following information from its Steam page:

Story Arcade Game
Saga of Sins is a “story arcade” game combining a dramatic storyline with rewarding arcade gameplay. The game offers 31 villagers’ minds to enter: sinners and innocents!
Sinner Levels
– Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, Greed, Pride, Lust and Wrath! The seven deadly sins have befallen the minds of the villagers. Find them and cast out their sins to free Sinwell from the plague.
Innocent Levels
– Unlike the sinners’ minds, embodied by the action levels, themed after each seven deadly sins, innocents’ minds offer a surprising variety of puzzles, riddles and skill tests to solve.
You can start slashing up some sins when the game comes to Switch in late March. Until then, perhaps some wholesome content will be in order…
