Artis Impact reached the Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2026, when Happinet published both a physical edition at 4,950 yen and a download at 2,750 yen. Malaysian developer Mas made the adventure RPG alone over four years, drawing more than 4,000 dot frames of pixel art for a ruined Earth 3,000 years in the future, where a runaway AI rules humanity. Players follow Akane, a rookie agent of the resistance group A-Lith, and her robot partner Bot, with turn-based battles in the style of 90s JRPGs.
The Switch edition supports 11 languages including Japanese. The Steam release had arrived on August 7, 2025 without Japanese. The physical run includes an A-Lith ID card bonus and a reversible jacket. Before the port, the game had drawn domestic attention through the RPG Maker Award 2026 run by Gotcha Gotcha Games, where it took the Grand Prize, the BitSummit PUNCH Grand Prize in May 2026, and a place in TOKYO GAME SHOW 2025 SELECTED INDIE 80.
Happinet positioned the port at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which ran September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, with a demo corner and a live-action web commercial. The accounts of the two awards do not agree: one story credits the BitSummit PUNCH Grand Prize and the RPG Maker Award 2026 Grand Prize, while another credits the BitSummit PUNCH Vermilion Prize.
