The Switch Effect
HomepageThe Switch Effect's Reviews
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a phenomenal love letter to a bygone era of video games and toys that many people played and loved.
You can get between 15 and 30 hours of playtime if you don’t mind the repetition and constant grinding, but I don’t see the average gamer doing more than one run and for $30 it’s a bit on the expensive side.
9th Dawn Remake is so much fun, there’s so much to do, and it runs perfectly on the Switch. For only $16, the game throws so much content and value at you and will keep you occupied for 50 hours or more. It’s well worth the price of admission if you’re an RPG lover.
his is a game that’s easy to fall in love with and allows you to have a lot of fun right at the start but it can be a bit overwhelming for some.
There’s a lot that hinders the game but if you’re a fan of Gal Gun or Demon Purge, you’ll get some enjoyment out of it. The gameplay itself is solid and there’s something there for fans of the writing and franchise humor
If you like card games like Poker, then you’ll like the gameplay loop but if you aren’t a gambling addict like Asuha, the game won’t have much else to offer besides the humor.
Hundred Line has so many things going for it and none of them are half-assed. If you're a fan of tactical RPG's, you'll love it.
If you’re a newcomer to this game, you’ll have a blast and should look into buying the game digitally.
MiceGard isn’t a game-changer but for $10 it’s a short and charming adventure.
Overall, Deep Beyond has as much narrative depth as a ten-minute visual novel but the art style and voice acting really stand out.
I couldn’t make it more than two minutes without being bombarded with some form of immersion breaking technical issues. Dungeons 4 is by no means a bad game, but it’s incredibly difficult to play on the Switch, especially in handheld mode.
To those who haven’t seen the anime, it’s just another SRPG, and maybe they’ll like the story and check it out. For those who are fans of the anime, they’ll enjoy that it isn’t just a redo of stuff they’ve already seen while also getting a handful of subtle references.
think the less I say, the better. Yes, I want to discuss more the game, but I think this is better to be experienced more than read through a review.
These ports aren’t at all expensive, but I see very little to absolutely zero reason to buy this by itself outside of nostalgia for the GBA port.
Growing up, I had no idea that Aero the Acrobat had a sequel. Well, I do know now and you know what, I actually like this more than the original game.
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again. Grab this game and anything that this team releases.
It’s one thing to just bring older games back, especially harder to find or emulate games. It’s another to put in the effort into localizing games for these releases. That’s invaluable. I love and appreciate that.
I’d honestly rather we get a collection as opposed to four individual releases. Regardless, I’m excited to experience all of these games.
I don’t think I’m ready for more Steel Empire playthroughs, but having the option to play either the Genesis, GBA, or Switch version of the game all on one console is spectacular.
Granted, if you’re not incredibly patient with seeing hours of tutorials, you might not stick around long enough for the game to get good. But if you love building, management, and tycoon games you’re going to have a blast with Let’s School.
