The enemy’s Death Laser is powering up and the only way you can survive is to quickly find all the parts you need to repair your ship and hightail it out of there. Unfortunately for you, it’s an epic space battle that you’re on the losing end of. I haven’t been able to play this one yet, and that’s the only reason I’m not giving it a highlight. There are also a bunch of dangerous traps to watch out for, and they’re just as likely to take you down as any of the aliens are. Of note is your shield, which you can use to deflect enemy bullets or shield bash foes as you see fit. You can swipe the weapons off of every enemy you take down, but your basic tools can do the job fairly well. It’s a side-scrolling action platformer where you wield a laser sword, an energy shield, and whatever weapons you can get your mitts on as you slay, jump, and rocket your way through an alien space ship. Reviews for this one were mixed on PC, but it seems like fans of the old Sierra adventures may find some enjoyment in it. There’s also a turn-based combat system that doesn’t work very well at all, which I suppose is paying homage correctly in some sense. This is an adventure game with RPG elements where you choose from three different character classes and follow their unique adventures through the world. Rather than seeking glory like some silly hero, you’re on a quest to be as villainous as possible. Pretty easy to spot what this game is inspired by. But yeah, it’s a real challenge and one that I’m sure those who enjoyed Toree will want to take the developer up on. Like Toree, it kind of has the look of a somewhat ugly Nintendo 64 game. It is absolutely hard as nails, but there’s a certain appeal to it. You remember those affordable yet fun Toree 3D Nintendo 64-inspired platformers? Here’s another game from the same developer, and it’s another 3D platformer. A solid choice for those who enjoy this sort of affair. The level designs are good, the story is fairly interesting, and it plays well. You have to jump around at the right times to make use of both of them, sometimes with split-second timing. One version of the area has one thing you need, the other has another. We’ve seen games with a similar gimmick, mechanically speaking. Anyway, you need to progress through each area by using your ability to swap between universes. Friends, never trust weird guys in top hats. Here’s a puzzle-platformer where you play as a dimension-hopping kid named Kid who gets pulled into a huge mess by a weird guy in a top hat. How the story unfolds and who will or won’t join you depends on the levels you carry in each of those convictions, adding an element of replay value. One of the key gimmicks in this one is the Conviction system, wherein your decisions will contribute to one of three convictions: utility, morality, or liberty. It presents a rich tale of conflict between three nations, with plenty of tactical battles to enjoy. Triangle Strategy is the latest game to get the HD-2D treatment first seen in Octopath Traveler. But as of today, we do have an extremely wordy Square Enix isometric turn-based strategy game to enjoy. We don’t have Final Fantasy Tactics on Switch yet, and that is very unfortunate. Let’s get to business! New Releases Triangle Strategy ($59.99) We’ve got summaries of all of them, good and bad, plus the latest lists of new sales and expiring discounts. There are some other interesting games to consider, like What Lies in the Multiverse and Knight’s Try. The big one is Triangle Strategy, and it indeed just what it looked to be. Well, there turned out to be quite a few new releases today. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 4th, 2022.
