Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for May 27th, 2024. Holiday? What holiday? Shaun never stops! And that’s a good thing, because neither does the eShop. I’ve got a couple short reviews for you today, looking at and the latest release .
After that, we have two new releases to check out. We wrap things up in our usual fashion, with a look at the lists of the latest sales and expiring discounts for the day. Let’s get to it! I found myself teetering on the line of what score to assign this game, and ultimately I’ve decided to lean towards the positive side of that line.
I’m doing so because after seriously questioning myself as to what didn’t work for me with , the biggest thing I could come up with is that I’ve played too many games like it before. Not exactly the same, of course. This is the only one where I’ve played as an underworld bouncer, for starters.
But broadly speaking this sort of top-down twin-stick attack-and-roll roguelite comes a dime a dozen on the Nintendo Switch, and doesn’t strike any meaningful new ground. With that said, it doesn’t do a whole lot wrong either. I think the attacks could use more oomph.
I don’t like bosses with lengthy invincible stages in their patterns, and this game loves them. It takes a little longer than it ideally should to properly get cooking, but that’s getting to be a genre-wide issue of late. Otherwise, it’s fine.
It plays well, the presentation is interesting, and once you sta.
