Seems to be fun. I'll keep an eye on it.
Samurai defender ninja warfare sounds like one of the most generic titles I have ever heard. May as well call it "Japanese stuff"
Doesn't mean the game will be horrible but...
I enjoyed the game a lot on 3DS. Should be good fun on switch, glad it isn't just a straight port.
Except for games I already have on ps4, there's not a whole lot going ok with the switch right now.
The dust from Zelda and Mario has settled. I have a WiiU too, so I don't care too much about all the ports. I really think that Switch is beginning to need games. I just hope we get some more third party AAA to fill the big gaps
They missed out a point on their list:
Excessive exclamation marks!!!
It looks like a fairly simple tower defense game that I would have on my phone.
@XenoShaun Does it have any more than that 1 arena setting? This looks a lot like Plants vs. Zombies but that also had a pool and roof setting which added to the variety and longevity of the game. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Swords & Soldiers but that seems like wishful thinking after watching that trailer.
Another TD announcement? About time I say. I dunno, I'm not sure I like the artstyle, but I typically do like these unit-spawning "TDs" games, so ... the reviews for the 3DS weren't all that glowing though. Looks like something I can totally see my self picking up for like $4 on an e-shop sale.
@rjejr Its been a long while since I played it but only recall their being one environment. With each mission varying the enemies and tactics greatly.
The large scale battles sound like that could change things up, as the environment in the original was very small scale. For its price it should be good fun however.
@XenoShaun Thanks. You are probably right about it being good for the price but I'll pass. (My view on prices is a bit skewed, I just bought The Witcher 3 Complete for $5.99 on PSN.) That other similar game about the dog defender seems a bit better, if it doesn't cost too much more when it releases next year.
Very generic game with nothing new and exciting to bring into the Switch party, in my opinion. Love the Pre-Order strategy though.
