Blast Brigade confirmed for physical release on Switch
Posted on March 2, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Strictly Limited Games announced today that it’s working on a physical release of Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread on Switch.
Two different versions are planned. There’ll be a limited edition (which is essentially a standard edition since it doesn’t contain any extras) plus a “Special Limited Edition”. The latter includes a copy of the game, special box, manual, art book, original soundtrack on two CDs, and a poster.
Blast Brigade first came to Switch in April 2022. More information about it can be found below.
Blast Brigade is a unique blend of Metroidvania and twin-stick run and gun, with a shot of Megaman elements, featuring 4 playable characters with unique abilities and personalities, between which the player can swap at any time. This being a Metroidvania, these abilities are naturally necessary to progress through the interconnected world, as well as discover secrets and materials to upgrade your workshop. And you really want to, because this game won’t be a walk in the park. Even normal enemies can kill you if you are not careful, and for the bosses, pattern memorization is key. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Speaking about the world, Blast Brigade manages to stand out here as well, leaning heavily into 80s spy movie tropes with its archetypal characters and the classic setting of a tropical island housing the super villain’s base. Combined with its bright Saturday morning cartoon style graphics and fourth-wall breaking humor, Blast Brigade really manages to stand out in the sea of samey action-platformers.
