Brain-scrambling twin-stick shooter Sektori blazes onto Switch 2 eShop today
Indie developer Kimmo Lahtinen has today launched his highly acclaimed hyperkinetic twin-stick shooting masterpiece Sektori on the Switch 2 eShop for $14.99. / €14,99 / £13.49. Sektori was one of 2025’s most acclaimed games, with a MetaCritic score of 93 on PC and 89 on PS5. Now Switch 2 users can see what all the fuss is about and chase high scores on the go!
“I cut my teeth on fiercely challenging hyperkinetic arcade action games at Housemarque, which inspired me to take these skills and put my own spin on it,” said developer Kimmo Lahtinen. “Sektori is the result of that. We don’t see a lot of shmups or arcade games these days, so I expected Sektori to be a rather small pet project, but the response from players was so positive that it kept me motivated to ensure Sektori could be on all contemporary consoles and the Switch 2 was the perfect home for a game based around short, flashy bursts of frenetic action.”
More about Sektori:
Sektori mixes high-adrenaline gameplay, kaleidoscopic visuals, and hard-hitting techno music coming together to transport you into another state of consciousness! In Sektori’s Campaign Mode, you’ll brave five endlessly evolving stages that reconstitute the layout of the battlefield, the waves of foes you’ll face, and even the bosses - who can radically change based on the stage you encounter them in! Slay your foes, gather their remains, and use them to select an array of upgrades for faster speed, a stronger blaster, additional shields, a bigger boost, more missiles, or a score bonus. As you evolve your ship, you can choose additional power-ups from a series of cards - and even customize your deck of potential perks! Featuring a mix of hand-crafted trials and procedural-generation, Sektori offers endlessly replayable arcade action!
The Campaign is just the beginning, as Sektori features six additional game modes, including a Classic mode, an alternate way to play that includes a wide array of mutators to reconfigure your experience into something wholly unpredictable; Surge, where players rapidly swap between underpowered and cartoonishly overpowered; Crash, where enemies can only be defeated by dashing; Assault, where you choose when to up the ante of incoming waves against a dwindling clock; Gates, where enemies can only be harmed by crossing rotating laser posts; and a good old-fashioned Boss Rush. Whether you want to perfect a scripted run, or prefer endlessly randomization, there's something in Sektori to suit your old school arcade desire!
