![]() ![]() Whether it be in handheld like the Vita version, with a Pro controller and docked, like the PS4, or even put it in Tate mode so that you can turn the Switch ninety degrees and play Downwell in vertical glory like you would on a tablet. But what you do get with Nintendo’s console is more options than usual to play the game in a variety of ways. On Switch, the game runs as well as the other versions on offer, with the game’s requirements obviously never pushing the system out of first gear. It means there won’t just be the game’s core gravity mechanic that’s pulling you down, but a desire within in you to descend further, to reach the next level, and look as awesome as you can whilst doing it. The game rewards combos and fluid movement handsomely, and so before you know it, you’re not just trying to survive, but do it in a flowing fast movement, which seems a million miles away from your careful plodding of your first few runs. Complete a level, and you’ll be awarded with a bonus that you can keep through your playthrough as the challenge gets ever harder.ĭownwell’s trump card though, a little like Dead Cells, is it rewards practice in mastering movement to traverse quickly and seamlessly. Throughout your descent you’ll find little side rooms that contain different weapons, or shops to purchase upgrades if you’ve taken enough of the game’s currency from dead foes. All I have to mention is the fact your character is wearing boots that literally have guns in them, and you realise straight away that this game is going to be a little different from what you’ve played before.Ĭontrolling your character with a button push to jump as well as shooting ammo from your feet, your task is to make use of both to make it down the well safely, through a flurry of random enemies. ![]() With a visual style that is retro and stripped back you’d be forgiven for thinking that what awaits you is a fairly basic experience, but you’d be wrong. Looks can often be deceiving, and never more so than in Moppin’s Downwell, a roguelike title that sees you, quite accurately falling down a well. ![]() Originally released on iOS, Android, PS4, PS Vita, and PC platforms The Re:Port Review will be back to normal scheduling now so grab a nice beverage and enjoy. These reviews are more for how a game looks and runs in addition to how a game uses Switch hardware and whether something is indeed “Perfect on Switch”. If this is your first Re:Port Review, the team and myself look at Switch ports of new and old games. If Nintendo wants to keep breaking sales records, maintaining a supply of purchasable systems to combat quarantine blues will be critical.Īccording to Nintendo’s 2019 year-end financial highlights, the Switch sold 52.48 million consoles in just 34 months - from its debut in March 2017 through December 2019 - shattering the previous record of 50 million consoles sold in 37 months held by the PlayStation 4.After an extended break, the Switch Re:Port is back with more reviews of Switch ports that released over the last month or so. ![]() could sway customers and force Nintendo to lose immediate business. In this era of virus prevention, where international shipping has been heavily reduced, people will have to be patient regardless of what they are ordering, but a readily-available stock of PlayStation 4s and Xbox Ones in the U.S. Third-party sellers on Amazon have it listed at $435 at the lowest. $300 is the retail price tag, but GameStop and other game distributors are low on stock. At this point, console sales for the Switch have also soared to the point of selling out everywhere - unless you want to pay more than retail. ![]()
