My Time at Portia Bringing Dungeon Exploring Fun To Switch Later This Year

Can't make any promises but I look forward to a future review.

Gosh.... !
YAY....!!
Early "Rune Factory" for Nintendo Switch !
Please, Also in Physical release, because that game also from the same publisher of Overcooked.

This looks promising. Nintendo have just posted a Switch specific trailer. It's the same as above only with Switch tags included.

Proper Fantasy Life would be a dream come true!

But this one looks intriguing as well. Will be watching out for it.

I see no dungeons in the trailer.

This is my kind of game. I'll probably pick this up if it gets a physical release.

The demo for this was a lot of fun, and pretty polished as well, considering it is just a demo. If you are at all interested and have a PC that can run it, definitely check it out.

@Nincompoop The dungeon was at around the 45 second mark (50 second mark in the official Switch trailer).

It looks very ambitious for an indie game, but who knows, maybe something really good comes out from this. I´d rather get a new Fantasy Life, as I love the first one, but this looks pretty interesting too so far. I might give it a go if it reviews well.

Speaking of Dungeons... Darkest Dungeon review incoming?

@BenAV man, I remember the Fantasy Life trailer. That was epic. Gave me goosebumps and totally sold me on the game.

Gotta admit, recalling that trailer does weaken the impact of this My Time at Portia trailer.

As long as there is some sort of sense of direction in the game, it could be a lot of fun. But judging from how poorly third-party indie games are compressed, I imagine this is going to take up a big chunk of my microSD card. I might give it a shot if it gets a physical release, but otherwise, I think I’ll pass.

Intriguing, I might consider this one.

Looks sweet with the combat element in there.

Reminds me of SimAnimals on Wii. (yes I played it and own it). These aren't really my type of games, but even still this one looks a little slow and empty. It's so slow and empty when all the people showed up I thought it might be like WoW or Free Realms, a proper online multiplayer game. Switch could use one of those.

Seems like there have been a lot of these "wander around and don't do much" games coming to Switch lately that have a Windwaker vibe. Oceanhorn, Portal Knights, Rime, Yonder:The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. This one seems the least interesting of them all to me. I suppose that's the point though with these types of games, relaxation.

I do like the look, even if it's a bit Wii, but I guess I just want a little more, like DQ Builders.

bangs head on desk

Someone needs to stop the porting of all these time sink games to Switch. Seriously, I'm just a human. I work 55hrs a week and am a single dad. This isn't fair.

@PhilKenSebben Working guy and father of two kids here. Sleep mode and setting modest goals for each brief play session is the way to go. Sleep mode is your friend . Breath of the Wild took me months and I loved every second with it (never played long enough to burn out on any one thing). So arguably this not only works for busy dads but it also adds value to game purchases.

@Reignmaker

It's a good game. Been reviewed plenty on every other platform. pick one, make up your mind and buy.

This looks like Fantasy Life with Animal Crossing and few other RPG stuff. Perfect for me!

For a second I thought NintendoLife were poking fun at Nintendo for having lots of "ports" but it was actually the title of the game lol.

looks great. love playing Fantasy Life and Animal Crossing. so hopefully it's something i'll enjoy!

@rjejr This could be a bit more like Stardew Valley maybe? But I felt the same way you did about the trailer. Nothing to charm or intrigue me.

My family enjoyed the DQ builders demo. It was a little too extreme in the hand holding for us Minecraft players, and the placement was a little wonky because of third person, but adding goals and a bit more direction to the Minecraft formula worked great.

@Alcovitch oh, you don't need to convince me. I already own the game on three different platforms including the switch. However, I'd like to see NL get on the train and give it more exposure to first timers. Heck, most other Switch releases are ports anyway.

@aaronsullivan We played the DQB demo way back when on PS4. I keep thinking we own the game b/c I bought my kid DQH and I keep getting them confused. 😛 If you get the game from what I read it's a little weird b/c twice in the game you move to a new area and basically start the game over. I read it was good otherwise.

This one not doing it for me earlier today doesn't mean much, nothing game wise is doing it for me lately. I just played the Zelda DLC for an hour and I've had it. I can find the spots on the map but nothing happens. Waste of $20, too much challenge, not enough ballad. 😠

I may just need to take a break from gaming for a bit.

The art style and setting don't really catch my interest. Pass.

Looks like 3d stardew! I'm excited!

I never backed anything on Kickstarter until this (opted for the lowest-priced Switch version, so no early access for me) so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it does.

I dunno why but I'm Really digging this....might have to get if it's 20$ or less

I need it ❤️❤️❤️

Yaaaasss

I cant wait for this! I hope there is a physical release tho, lately ive been getting paranoid with buying digital. Im getting currupted software/error codes left and right all the sudden, even on internel memory, soo i think something is wrong with my switch. Ive never gotten errors with the physical cartridges tho. Im going to send it in for repairs or maybe a total replacement eventually, untill this is fixed, i want to play it safe and go physical, that seems to be ok

Alright, enough is enough. I've just gotten Yonder so I need this to hurry up and complete me game-wise 😣

@SLIGEACH_EIRE . Hmm, i wonder how big it is! No one has mentioned how big the world might be or anything, it kinda looks ALITTLE big tho 🤔
