Finnish indie game developer 10tons has been on a roll lately with the recent releases of Sparkle 2, Neon Chrome and JYDGE on the Switch eShop. Next up is Time Recoil, a twin-stick shooter that will launch on Switch this Thursday for $13.99. Euro pricing is to be confirmed.
In this one killing the baddies triggers time slowdown, and additional kills extend the slowdown period and charge a special move. The more the player is able to kill the more powerful the special move becomes, all the way to full time freeze.
In this tale of rebellion and revenge, the player is a member of a rebel organisation fighting against a mad scientist dictator, Mr. Time. The rebels use a time machine to travel through time to locate and eventually kill this foe before he finds the rebels and destroys them.
If you are a fan of twin-stick shooters this might be worth investigating later this week. Let us know if you are ready to take on the dreaded Mr. Time with a comment below.

Looks like Mr Shifty, which I personally liked so will keep an eye on this.
Is it by the same dev?
Looks like it's not , team Shifty made mr Shifty ....makes sense
Jydging (pyn intended) by the reviews for their other action games on this site, I won't get overly excited for this one, and shall wait and see how it fares.
Looks like it could be pretty cool. Launching the day before Mario, though. Oof, bad luck.
Is there a new game engine thats churning out all these similarly bland shooters?
@mattmayatt Hahaa, yeah first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer was Mr. Shifty. I never bought it, but man are the two art styles eerily familiar. Would’ve definitely thought it was the same dev.
Why would any sane developer/publisher launch a game so close to Mario Odyssey? Is it some kind of dare?
@FragRed Well AC Origins and Wolfenstein 2 on the same day too. I think those will sell more than Odyssey anyway being multiplatform. AC Origins especially
A little off topic, but whatever happened to that twin-stick shooter that has been coming soon to wiiu for the past few years? It's useless if I can't remember the title, but it looked like the playable characters were cyborg like school girls or something. It was bright and colorful.
@Blastcorp64 Assault Android Cactus. No idea where it is on its journey to Switch
They should bring Dead Nation to Switch. That's one of the best twin stick shooters out there.
These fools are going to release twin-stick shooters once a week until the Switch eShop closes down
@NinChocolate Yes, thank you! Just another empty promise for the wiiu.
@Pahvi Yes, thank you!
@bluesdance yeah, I bought Neon Chrome, but I wouldn’t have had I known they were going to introduce this mess to the eshop. Don’t really like any of them anyway though, they are way too zoomed out.
Hope Nintendo puts a stop to their 1 unique feature, call it a new game every week business plan.
@Blastcorp64 Cancelled, never gonna happen. Its been on Steam and PS4 for about two years now at least.
@Pahvi That answeres my question, thank you. I didnt realise they were all by the same developer, that in itself is super lame on their part. They have made three games just with graphical swaps.
Lol, its a Mister Shifty reskin.
“10tons” is an apt name for this publisher.
@Pahvi Obviously there are minor changes to play mechanic or else they would literally be the same games, but its not cool. There are companies known for making purely amazing Shooters but not any one of them is alike. It just looks cheap.
