Curator Notes

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is Chromatic Games’ crowdfunded revival of Trendy Entertainment’s 2011 co-op tower-defence RPG: the Squire, Huntress, Apprentice, and Monk build defences and fight to protect the Eternia Crystals. It released on PC in 2020 and on the Nintendo Switch eShop on August 4, 2021. Super Rare Games issued the Switch physical edition as SRG #90 in May 2023, limited to 4,000 copies. This filing opens the Dungeon Defenders lineage on the shelf.

Collection Documentation

The retained object is Super Rare Games #90, the boutique physical Nintendo Switch edition, sold from May 2023 with interior artwork, a full-colour manual, a sticker, and trading cards. Dedicated artifact views of the individual copy have not yet been filed; the gallery below is held open for that documentation.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: PC early access February 21, 2020; full release May 28, 2020. Nintendo Switch eShop release August 4, 2021. Super Rare Games #90 (HAC-P-AU9AA) is the Switch physical edition recorded here, printed in a run of 4,000.
Access Status: Super Rare Games’s physical edition was a limited production and now circulates through the secondary market. The digital Switch edition was issued separately on the Nintendo eShop.
