A lot of potential here but I think had this been made directly for Switch and not been adapted from a mobile game, it would have been a level up. Still, it looks good fun and a thanks to Azdin of Grinning Wolf Games (check out his bid to join Nintendo Life here ua-cam.com/video/N6FoIYdGlqk/v-deo.html )for working on this one! Mark
I love how you name your character "Subscribe" and display the name for several short-stretchies. As an unsubtle hint to those viewing without a Sub., to remind them to do this. Without mentioning this. Nice one! Truly
I initially got the switch to play stardew and animal crossing with my gf. However thanks to you guys I actually have a few games worth looking forward to play. Picked up a few of your recommendations and can’t seem to put it down. Love the quality and narration from you guys. Will continue to support you guys! Much love from Minnesota!
I have nothing against mobile games ported to the Switch, as long as the developers put some effort in adapting it instead of just slapping it on the eShop and call it a day.
I’m probably one of the few who actually likes the idea of playing mobile-style games on Switch. No need to worry about draining your phone’s battery and even better if they cut the online so you can play an offline version at your leisure. Plus the games tend to be just fun over lots of cinematics. Hopefully you guys review Vivid Knight next!
these days I use the Switch mostly at 5 in the morning when my toddler son wakes up too early, has breakfast and watches TV until its time to get ready for nursery... This looks like the perfect pick up and play non commital grind to distract me from Blippi... I think I'll be picking it up :D
Great review from this dude, I’ve been burned a few times with mobile games so I’ll dodge this one for now. £13 is far to dear but as I said above lovely job on the review 🤘
Appreciate the review, as I was wondering if this one was any good. Looks like a "maybe someday, if it gets enough of a sale and I'm semi-bored" kind of game. Great job covering all the main points, btw!
Undermine and Archvale are probably my two most favorite indie titles out there. Glad you guys highlight many of them. I only really started getting into them a few years ago. I was one of those, “they’re cheap so they can’t be that good” types of people but in reality, I find many of these indie games are far better than much of the crap from big developers.
Looks pretty fun. The problem with my switch collection currently is most my games require a lot of focus to play. I've just picked up darkest dungeon, shovel knight, binding of isaac and ori collection so I have a few games that are slightly more digestible during a commute. Do you guys have a list for best switch games on the go?
I really like the looks of this game. I'm happy it isn't a roguelike, has an art style that reminds me of some simple rpgs from the 90s, neat that it has multiplayer even if I don't have anyone that will play it with me, and nice that it has a quick in and out kind of play for a few rounds, good long run and loading game. Also makes me want 3D dot game hero on the switch, though it's pretty different style.
Some of The features of roguelike/ rogue lite are cool but it gets annoying after a while and the boss fights are interesting and annoying sometimes lol I don't mind running thru a labyrinth / dungeon instance if it's like this style just gotta add a lot of gear / skills for me to collect.
This looks/feels exactly like it was made for mobile and that just conjures up "bad" memories of FTP games and progression. Nevertheless, if this blew up and had an online mode, I might pick it up to join in on the action. Otherwise though, not crazy about it. Btw, great review Azdin!
Im looking for good roguelikes after playing all the top ones on switch. How is the extra mode here in that regards? Does it actually turn it into a roguelike or is it more of a gimmick?
You mentioned that it does not live up to some of the greats in the Switch? As a newcomer, what’s would be a better dungeon crawler similar to this that you would recommend !!
Azdin brought us another well-rounded review. This game is just too far away from my normal avenue of games that I play so I'm saving my money for a few of the new games I hope to see soon (CUPHEAD DLC and SHREDDER'S REVENGE).
Aye I played this on mobile honestly one of the best offline games I've played on mobile and I played a lot. The music was also a top 10 within the mobile games I played.
Methinks there are far better alternatives available on the Switch, but I might give it a go on my phone as it’s a free download. Thanks for the review!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Snackworld, Diablo 2, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Darkest Dungeon, Creature in the well, Deaths Door (not really a dungeon crawler at all but great), Titan Quest I’m sure they’re not all classed exclusively as dungeon crawlers but yeah. Hopefully some good choice for you! Mark
No online? That's kinda sucks even though I'm not into online that much. My sister rarely play games and non of my friends play games that I played. Been looking forward for RPGs that have rare loots to look forward to getting
Great review! The game looks fun. My own personal gripe with such a game is the price...why pay (insert regional equivalent) when you can get it for FREE on Google play. Still looks fun. Just not for my switch
i watched the trailer on the eshop, and wrote this game off as trash. but after watching your review, it actually looks pretty good! not 'must buy right away' good, but im definitely putting it on my wishlist and waiting for a sale.
I feel like this is an unfair criticism, but I am by default always very hesitant with any mobile game that has moved to other platforms. Really don't like when its apparent that they didn't make changes to the control scheme which should be the biggest difference with the transition to other platforms! Don't think this one does enough to win me over
This looks fun, but I am keeping my cash for Dysmantle on the 22/01. I have everything crossed for this game, not enduring the fate of Dying Light and getting banned by Germany, so errectively ,banned in every European country's E-Shop; for having Zombies in.
@@cmdrrobinus190 Well, thats on XBox. But it seems to have a simultaneous release on Switch. So even more fingers crossed on that. Angory Tom's ongoing playthrough of it, has made me love this game. Mind you that is true, on most of the games' he has played.
This game doesn't look like my cup of tea. Just not as polished as I'd expect for the price. I think the only time mobile games coming to Switch bugs me is when it's clearly a slap-dash copy & paste job and they charge 5 times as much just because it's on Switch. I don't know anything about Nintendo's publishing policies - what their cut is or any of that - but I just find the "Switch tax" offensive in general.
Personally kind of sick of this sort of gameplay and pixel graphics. This being a mobile port lessens my interest even more as well. My backlog and wallet are, for now, safe..
I just at this point feel bored of this same old classic graphics, dungeon, hack and slash games are great by indie developers but doesn't feel like more of the same again, again and again, at least can be for coop...looks nice thanks for the review I skip this one

Is this prize worth seeking, or will you get lost in the mobile labyrinth roots? Let’s find out!
I love how you name your character "Subscribe" and display the name for several short-stretchies. As an unsubtle hint to those viewing without a Sub., to remind them to do this.

Add in the physical buttons for comfort
"Its not a roguelike." If you wanted me to buy this immediately, that was the quickest way to convey it. 🤣

This is definitely in the genre of games I love I just might pick this up on sale. Thanks for another brilliant review
I just wanted to say thanks again for the 10% on your new site. Just bought another code!
Please do a "was I wrong" series.
😂 noooooooooooooooo hahaha
Wonderful video as always covering a good game! Sorry for not watching or commenting for a while, I was busy with school stuff!
Good to see you mate! Mark
Great review from this dude, I’ve been burned a few times with mobile games so I’ll dodge this one for now. £13 is far to dear but as I said above lovely job on the review 🤘
I'll definitely pick this up when it goes on sale. It looks fun!
It’s on sale now for like six bucks. Did you get it? Do you like it?
The visual style really reminds me of the mid-2000s flash adventure games that I used to play a bunch,
Excellent review Azdin. As always an excellent video Mark.
It’s $19.99 CAD in eshop. It looks fun but I think I’ll wait for a sale. Thanks for the great review as always.
Ya do the best Switch reviews. 👌 Idk how ya keep up with so many switch games but it's satisfying no doubt. Great Job SwitchUp. 👍
Good review, this looks/sounds pretty fun, but yeah I will be adding it to my wish list for now. Thanks for the review!
Appreciate the review, as I was wondering if this one was any good. Looks like a "maybe someday, if it gets enough of a sale and I'm semi-bored" kind of game. Great job covering all the main points, btw!
Soon as I saw the post, I was like: "GUNGEON!?" And then I was like: 🤩
How's the coop on this one? Always open to couch coop games.
I really hope u heard the mid-way point ost in the castle, thats got to be the best theme.
ayo this mah GAME dawg. It slaps. 9/10. Nice review here tho! I didn't know it has a port!!!

Bought it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Looks good this one. Not enough for me to get it tho. Thanks for the rev.
Sooo which would you recommend? Mobile or Switch version? Cause mobile one is free, albeit with microtransactions that I haven't checked yet.
This looks/feels exactly like it was made for mobile and that just conjures up "bad" memories of FTP games and progression. Nevertheless, if this blew up and had an online mode, I might pick it up to join in on the action. Otherwise though, not crazy about it.
Btw, great review Azdin!
Little weary of mobile ports but then again Star Wars hunters is technically going to be a mobile port type game and I’m super hyped for that
Im looking for good roguelikes after playing all the top ones on switch. How is the extra mode here in that regards? Does it actually turn it into a roguelike or is it more of a gimmick?
You mentioned that it does not live up to some of the greats in the Switch? As a newcomer, what’s would be a better dungeon crawler similar to this that you would recommend !!
Children of Morta is a good time.
risk of rain 1 & 2
Ohh another vid. Yay ^_^

Hammer watch?
Definitely wishlisted. Looks dope.
As a Gungeon fan….. I’m interested
Great looking game. Can think of better Dungeon crawlers I would buy instead, but all the same, great review. Cheers Mark.

Which ones do you like better I can try?
@@anthonykufta2197 Children of Morta, Moonlighter, Titan Quest and of course the Diablo games spring to mind
You keep mentioning the other better dungeon crawlers on the switch. Could you name some of those? Non-rogue-like dungeon crawlers please?
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Snackworld, Diablo 2, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Darkest Dungeon, Creature in the well, Deaths Door (not really a dungeon crawler at all but great), Titan Quest I’m sure they’re not all classed exclusively as dungeon crawlers but yeah. Hopefully some good choice for you! Mark
Ys Origins
@@SwitchUpYt patiently waiting for a Snackworld sale~
@@SwitchUpYt thanks for responding. I already own a couple of those!
@@andrewfsheffield no worries I hope it helps
Great video. I always seem to resent games adapted from mobile games
No online? That's kinda sucks even though I'm not into online that much. My sister rarely play games and non of my friends play games that I played. Been looking forward for RPGs that have rare loots to look forward to getting
24/7 only thinking about Kirby's Forgotten Land. When? Soon? Please now.
I got tales of vespria, I'm enjoying it so far, been farming enemies in the overworld whilst doing my cardio it makes it a lot less boring
Ooh. Vesperia! One of my favorite games ever. 😋
@@Ser-Smiley 😊😊😊I got it at a steal too
@@Words_of_discouragement very nice! Enjoy that game my friend. 😋
Great review! The game looks fun. My own personal gripe with such a game is the price...why pay (insert regional equivalent) when you can get it for FREE on Google play. Still looks fun. Just not for my switch
I’m probably going to stay away from this one but I appreciate the review. Thanks
This game is on sale now. Has anybody got it? I’d love to know opinions of it before I waste six dollars. Thanks in advance.
People don't like seeing numbers in Monster Hunter Rise? Since when? First I've heard of that.
This game is free for iphone. I don’t understand why would I pay for it on switch.
Its 4.8 on apple store
Am I the only one who hates modern lighting effects applied to 16 bit pixel art? It looks baaaaaad
What's with that player called 'Subscribe'? 😄
Further into the video, I now see! I do have a bad habit of commenting before the video is finished 😬
It's good Marketing
@@DefinitelyNotBender Haha! It's creative and it cracked me up, so I suppose it is. Hope it works.
I am always wary of paying the eshop for a phone game.
It's hard because it's nice we have it but like unless it's 5$ I don't want to overpay
Which the phone ver is FREE
So it's Hades with sheet graphics. Ok, got it!
i watched the trailer on the eshop, and wrote this game off as trash. but after watching your review, it actually looks pretty good! not 'must buy right away' good, but im definitely putting it on my wishlist and waiting for a sale.
I already like it , its not a rogue 👍🏾
Getting old school Zelda vibes, nice
"The labyrinth.. AKA the eShop" -> HAHAHA
well... i am gonna subscribe i dont know why :D
Not for me, but the art style looks nice.

This looks fun, but I am keeping my cash for Dysmantle on the 22/01. I have everything crossed for this game, not enduring the fate of Dying Light and getting banned by Germany, so errectively ,banned in every European country's E-Shop; for having Zombies in.
Dysmantle - 22 January? Wow! Thank you!
@@cmdrrobinus190 Well, thats on XBox. But it seems to have a simultaneous release on Switch. So even more fingers crossed on that.
Angory Tom's ongoing playthrough of it, has made me love this game.
Mind you that is true, on most of the games' he has played.
Not bad for a mobile port. Not bad at all.
A biiiit too expensive though.
Seeeeya!
I did not come here for the choice of buying the game i came here for others opinion
Way too much money imo so I’ll agree and wait for a big sale on this.
700 second video. You talk about combat --the only thing that matters-- for 2 of them
This game doesn't look like my cup of tea. Just not as polished as I'd expect for the price.

Lmao the labyrinth known as the eShop. Truer shite was never word played.
I just at this point feel bored of this same old classic graphics, dungeon, hack and slash games are great by indie developers but doesn't feel like more of the same again, again and again, at least can be for coop...looks nice thanks for the review I skip this one
Mobil games on Switch? Sure. WHERE'S GENSHIN IMPACT??? 🤬
Still patiently(😬😅) waiting
Sigh. This is what the Switch is fast falling to as we can no longer muster the performance for recent console ports...mobile ports 😕
😆🤙👍👍👍
I was kinda feeling this until you mentioned “it’s mobile roots” 🤮
Yes but no....
SUIIIIIIIIII
