Shape of the World coming soon to Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Thanks to the Switch news section, we now know that Shape of the World is planned for the console. The game has its own channel, meaning a release should be planned for the near future.
Shape of the World was funded on Kickstarter a few years ago by Stu Maxwell, a senior VFX artist who worked on Gears of War 4. Plug In Digital and Seaven Studios were later brought in to finish development. It’s a first-person exploration game “where you’re cast as an outsider in a surreal organic world that reacts to your presence.” Players will experience “a psychedelically colorful ecosystem of flourishing flora, rambling waterfalls, burgeoning mountains, glowing monoliths and graceful creatures.”

[Review] The Next Penelope
Posted on 6 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: December 21, 2017
Developer: Aurélien Regard / Seaven Studio
Publisher: Plug In Digital
Set in a far-future interpretation of one of the oldest pieces of western literature, The Next Penelope has an engaging aesthetic wrapper for its gameplay mixture of top-down shooter and Micro Machines style racing. As novel as space Poseidon might be, these narrative elements are also its flimsiest facet. The snippets of dialogue that are peppered throughout the game’s five main major challenges fumble with some inelegant wording, odd grammar, and a few comma splices. The premise isn’t given the space to develop into much beyond passing references to the Odyssey. Fortunately, this is all just window dressing – the game’s hectic arcade-style shooting fares much better in blending somewhat dissonant gameplay concepts. It comes together as an impressively well constructed genre hybrid.

Splasher came to the Switch eShop about a month ago. However, soon after it launched, the game was pulled from the North American store. It was confirmed that an ESRB rating issue led to the temporary removal.
Today, Splasher was restored on the Switch eShop, and it can be purchased once again. The 2D platformer costs $14.99.
