I'll admit, I haven't to this point seen a sort of zombie survival adventure title on Switch so it's nice to have Heaven Dust filling in that block on my indie Bingo card...
From the story, to the general action, to the fact that its combat is turn-based with timing-based bonuses akin to the likes of Super Mario RPG and others, UnderHero is plain different...
When it comes to local multiplayer party games variety is always a good thing, especially since you may be playing with non-gamers, people of any age, or skill level before even accounting for personal tastes...

Puzzle platformers have been a staple genre since even the early days of gaming, but it has only been in more recent years with indie and mobile games that they've made a real resurgence...
In theory surviving with limited resources in an environment full of threats where you're not sure where any given turn may lead you can be exciting...
Truth in advertising in game naming is one of those things I consider pretty important, nobody likes to walk into an experience with an expectation that ends up not being fulfilled...
