Beyond Enemy Lines: Covert Operations is firing onto Nintendo Switch on 23rd April, it has been confirmed. That means we have just one week to go to check it out for ourselves.
We first mentioned this one just a couple of months ago, with its tactical twist on the shooter genre leaving us feeling rather intrigued. The game is a port of 2017's Beyond Enemy Lines which released on PC, and is a single-player shooter developed in Unreal Engine 4 by a one-man team.
The Switch version offers eight missions in what is said to be a "challenging" single-player campaign. The gameplay has been adapted with Switch in mind, and each mission is open-ended with "countless varieties of solutions for every situation". We shared this with you last time, but here's another look at the game's feature list:
- 8 Mission long Story Campaign with ~10h playtime
- Adapted gameplay especially for Nintendo Switch
- 100% Freedom - You chose the tactics
- 100% Hardcore - Challenge your skill
-Ported inhouse by Polygon Art
Beyond Enemy Lines: Covert Operations will launch on Switch on 23rd for $13.99 / 13,99€.

Doesn’t look too good unfortunately.
I saw it has two reviews on Metacritic, a 65 and a 20 (!).
@clvr At that price point though, doesn't seem too shabby.
This may be the worse looking unreal engine game ever. I looked at gameplay of the pc version and it’s horrible. As much as I love FPS this is an easy pass.
It looks like Counter Strike. But, this is a game done by a single guy, and it doesn't cost much. We'll have to wait for the reviews.
@clvr The game doesn't as great of PC neither plus it's made by one person.
Golden tip, don't trust metacritic, I've played so many great games with low scores on metacritic, this game is weak because I player this too but again don't trust metacritic blindly.
Looks low budget but I like the old school FPS style of it. Could be fun.
Looks neat and a decent price point. I might give this a whirl.
If it plays good, that's what matters. One of the things I find curious about comments on here is when a non-frostbite 3d game appears - it looks bad, terrible etc... Neolithic era heavily pixellated 2d platformer appears - everybody raves about it.
@clvr Also, what is the point of shooters if I can't shoot anonymous players in the face online?
@ryancraddock
I don't know how to send this but Warframe on Switch is getting a huge update on Switch today at 3 pm eastern that will bring the file size to 20.5 gb.
My anaconda don't want none if it ain't got ADS, hon!
Graphics looking like an asset flipped unity game engine game doesn't inspire confidence.....
This game looks like absolute crap... Send this back to the PS2 where it belongs.
@Captain_Toad Was about to say the same thing. This looks like an asset flip game from Steam. The reviews on Steam make it look like it is marginally above that. That said even the positive reviews say that it is extremely unpolished and incomplete.
@SetupDisk You have to use this page.
Just fill in the form, choose the right topic, and send it, and the relevant person or people will get it in their inbox. Hope that helps.
Well, it may look quite rough, last gen, or whatever, but this is made by a single guy, and not all programmers are graphics artists per sé.
I know I sure as hell wouldn't be able to make something like that all on my own, so I'll wait and see how it actually plays on the Switch, and then I'll condemn him to hell if it sucks after all...
In the trailer the female voice it almost sounds Diana from the Hitman series.
Does this game let me shoot people that don't look like me? If so, I'm down!
I didn’t expect this many replies lol
@Rayquaza2510 don’t worry mate, I know Metacritic’s overrated and I actually almost never look up anything on that site.
I only do for games like this one that have little to no reviews and/or coverage.
Also, I was more shocked by the fact it only has two reviews than the grades themselves.
@NintendoFan4Lyf
Yep. Another for the pile. Amateur made games for professional prices and then the switch tax on top.
Never been a better time to invest in a switch. Rofl
"the year is 1989..." is that also when the game is made?
eshop is looking more and more like the valvestore full of shovelware. Sad really.
Looks and sounds like what it is, a bargain bin release. Sadly when this title doesn't sell well, other studios will point at this one and say the usual "See! Nintendo players don't want this kind of game!" While ignoring the fact that it didn't sell well because it was a lower quality bargain bin release.
Same thing EA and Activision have done in the past with their own games, they'll release inferior versions on Nintendo hardware, those inferior versions, lacking features and entire game modes quite often, will sell poorly on the Nintendo hardware, and then those companies will blame a lack of interest among Nintendo hardware owners.
It looks like Project IGI which was impressive back in 2002, but in 2019 not so much.
