Guardian Tales, an action RPG by Kong Studios is going to get a Nintendo Switch port starting on October 4 but without cross save.

According to the tweet by the official Guardian Tales twitter, the Nintendo Switch port for Guardian Tales is not handled by Kakao Games but instead by both Kong Studios and Nintendo.

This means that those that have played Guardian Tales on mobile will be unable to use their account on the Nintendo Switch version of the game so everyone will have to start from scratch when the switch port releases.

Redditor PaladinRyan says this news is discouraging for them to play as they have spent quite a bit of money and played a lot on mobile. 

“Discouraging as I spent a bit (not a ton but some) and played a lot on GT mobile. I might play it F2P casually on Switch, though I’m not sure I can handle the depression of that story again. Plus not having my favorite light team will be sadness. Nonetheless, it’s a fun game that should play well on the Switch.” says u/PaladinRyan

Redditor TrungDOge however says that this is for the better as they would be starting the game fresh with tons of quality of life updates.

“For the better imo , start fresh with tons of QoL so they don’t have to give tons of free currency as an apology” says u/TrungDOge
