Today, developer LABS Works and publisher DANGEN Entertainment announced that their 8-bit action adventure title ‘Lovish’ is now available across PC via Steam/itch.io/GOG/Humble Store, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 consoles.
Created by Matt Kap (‘Astalon: Tears of the Earth’, ‘Castle in the Darkness’), Lovish blends tight, bite-sized action with wild surprises, absurd humor, and pure retro spirit. Every room conquered brings Sir Solomon closer to Princess Tsuna… and farther down a reckless path paved with love. With randomized events, strange encounters, and more secrets than a lovesick knight can handle, Lovish is a pixelated romance spiraling gloriously out of control.
Have a gander below for more details on Lovish. The Original Sound Version is also available on Steam and GOG, featuring 25 tracks from the game.
Saving the Princess Was Never Supposed to Go Like This… (About Lovish)
Lovish is an outrageous 8-bit action-adventure game! Quest with Sir Solomon through a series of bite-sized rooms, as he attempts to free Princess Tsuna, the woman he loves, from the Devil Lord’s clutches!
Sir Solomon and the saviors of light depart Castle Cornelius to free Princess Tsuna from the grasp of the evil Devil Lord! But the knight is worried… What if after being freed, the princess falls in love with one of his friends instead of with him? So he does what anyone would do when blinded by love, and ditches his friends! Solomon ventures into the Devil Lord’s castle alone, vowing to make the princess his.
LABS Works and Matt Kap present Lovish, an outrageous 8-bit-styled action-adventure! Venture through a series of bite-sized rooms, slicing up monsters, collecting items, and getting to the exit! After exiting each room, enjoy a short event scene, in which anything could happen! Will you find an item? A random encounter RPG fight? Will the world get destroyed? Find out by conquering each room of the Devil Lord’s castle, one challenge at a time!
Key Features:
50+ fun levels to play through, each with multiple objectives!
Wacky randomized event scenes between levels with hundreds of outcomes! You never know what you’re gonna see next!
Collect a variety of items to upgrade Solomon’s abilities, or expand the game in meaningful (and unmeaningful) ways!

Beautiful human-artist-made pixel art! Even the in-game AI art is drawn by a human person!
More secrets than ever before! (But this is the first game in this series, so that doesn’t mean much, I guess.)
Unexpected guest characters
And lots more!
