The original game does have bullet time, but the Switch remake now has tons of new features like splitting your crosshair to target multiple enemies, do kicks, and dodge bullets. The gameplay is sick AF (as the new generation calls it), allowing players to do multiple things besides just running it down and shooting objectives. Bizarre as it may be, the game is loads of fun, and was a good remake of a title from Adult Swim Games in 2014. This game does not fail to make me laugh every single time, due to its premise: you are a masked vigilante that is instructed by this banana named Pedro. My Friend Pedro, a game made DeadToast Entertainment, belongs in the shoot’em up genre and probably has one of the best use of bullet time by any game on the Switch. If you want to prove that you are the best indie gamer on Switch, then not having Cuphead would be a taint to your title. Cuphead actually has an interesting story behind how it was made, that ties in with how beautiful the game turned out to be. They got inspired by old-school ‘retro’ side-scrolling shooters that were also infamous for their hard difficulty when video games were just starting out. The game is made by StudioMDHR, a Canadian-based game development studio founded by two brothers, Chad and Jared Moldenhauer. The boss fights, while hard, are incredibly satisfying when you get the skill level (and luck) to actually beat them. Even the music contributes to this whole feel. The character and background designs are absolutely gorgeous, reminding people of old black-and-white cartoons.
It featured extremely difficult run and gun gameplay which a lot of new-age players are not familiar with. It really doesn’t decrease the difficulty anyway.Ĭuphead is a game that was first released in September 2017. CupheadĪnother one of those infamous “impossibly hard to beat if you don’t git gud” games is Cuphead, and it’s been ported to the Switch for some handheld frustration. If you like to challenge your wits to a battle of endurance and frustration, then picking up Dead Cells is a good way to test your mettle. It became so hard that it was even dubbed as a “Souls-lite.” Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro fans rejoice! (Yes, I am a fan of FromSoftware, no, I still hate them because of the lack of a new Armored Core title.) You get to keep your upgrades after you die though, so there is still some merit to playing the levels over and over again. The words “difficult enemies” is an understatement, by the way, as the difficulty rises up sharply as you progress further.
The result is a game with difficult enemies that results in permanently dying when you play incorrectly. Yet game development studio Motion Twin made a very impressing mash of both genres, dubbing it “RogueVania,” and slapped it on a single epic game which is Dead Cells.ĭead Cells is an indie game for the Switch that combines the well-paced flow of Metroidvania games with the brutal nature of Rogue-like titles.
Meanwhile ‘Metroidvania’ games are those that stay true to the hard platforming that both Metroid and Castlevania games are known for. Frustrating as it may be, a lot of people low-key enjoy these types of challenging gameplay. Rogue-like games are those that have permadeath – once your character dies, its game over, you go back to the very beginning.
