Timespinner Is A Metroidvania Turning Back The Clock On Switch Next Week
Timespinner Is A Metroidvania Turning Back The Clock On Switch Next Week Nintendo Life '-spinner' not '-splitters', though it still looks good by Share: on Any game inspired by and is likely worth a look, and so it is with , an 'ode to classic '90s action platformers' which launched last year on other platforms. Happily, it's now been confirmed to arrive on Switch next week (4th June, to be precise). We way back in 2014 when a 3DS version formed part of its successful Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately that version has bitten the dust, , with the developer acknowledging that 3DS version was too ambitious to undertake. That's disappointing, of course, but backers of the 3DS version are able to get a copy of the game on an alternative platform of their choosing, including the Switch version, so there shouldn't be too much cause for complaint. The game itself was well-received when it launched last September and the above trailer shows some enticing Metroidvania gameplay for fans to tuck into. As you might have guessed from the title, it involves some time travelling shenanigans which you use to fox foes and solve puzzles. Here are just a handful of highlights the official blurb discusses: - Discover a lovingly-crafted, beautiful pixel art world and uncover a rich story universe
- Explore both the past and present of Lachiem, from grand medieval castles, to sparkling serene lakes, a bustling metropolis and even a space-age laboratory
- Clobber enemies with Magic Orbs which grow in power the more you use them
- Befriend mysterious Familiars and train them to aid you in battle
- Locate hidden areas and treasures through secret walls and platforming puzzles
- Invite a second player to join the adventure by controlling Lunais’ Familiar in local co-op mode That local co-op sounds interesting, and everything we've seen and heard makes this one to look out for when it launches on Switch next week. It launches on 4th June $19.99. Were you a backer of the Kickstarter? Have you played this on other platforms? Let us know your thoughts with a comment in the section below for those sorts of things.

He lives in Spain (the plain-y bit where the rain mainly falls) and his love for Banjo-Kazooie borders on the unhealthy. Comments ) Very interested in this one! Looks a good game. I hope it be so good like looks. Looks good. On the Watch List it goes! The trailer made it a day 1 buy for me. But I should go check some reviews first... ALRIIIGHT!
Beautiful debut game from Lunar Ray!
Definitely going to try this out. Releasing on my birthday...should I get it I wonder? Agh! Too many games! Whenever I read/hear some "gamer" whining about too many ports or not enough 3D games on the Switch, I just want to be able to look them dead in the eye and hock a fat loogie at their feet. YES, I played the demo on PC and it is really good. If you liked Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia you will like this game. Wow I love the look of this! Music is suitably heroic too I waited this long hoping it would find its way to the Switch. Good stuff. Wow this is a nice surprise... 100% day 1 purchase for me oh my this looks very nice... I'm afraid I already have been lately...I collect model airplanes and submarines, and I've spent way too much money on those lately. Ah well, single and making my own money so I can do that. This is a great game honestly, already beaten it fully on the Steam version, but I would adore for this to get a physical release on Switch.
I hope it happens. Trust me, this'll scratch that specific Igavania itch quite nicely until Bloodstained Ritual of the Night arrives. I am so excited that this is coming to the Switch. I have been waiting for it since I didn't want to be tethered to my TV on the PS4. Looks interesting. Will probably add to my wishlist and keep an eye on it. I'll definitely get it. Just have to decide if it's gonna be day one or a little later Damn the dev for using a Timesplitter's style FONT. Thought this was a Timesplitter's HD collection on Switch for a moment. 20 quid for a 5-8 hour game? I'll wait for a sale then About time this came over I just finished playing Castlevania OoE a few weeks ago and had a blast with it. Loved the challenge; it's the hardest Castlevania I've played! What do the games have in common? looks good... for a GBA game! Played it on vita. Great game, cool magic weapons. The way you equip weapons is very similar, they are orbs that are magical attacks and you have 2 equipped at a time controlled by separate attack buttons and there is a system in which you can enhance each orb. 5-8 hours? Are you sure? That's what my friend told me. 5 hours to beat, 8 hours to 100% 5 hours for main story, 8 hours for main + extras, 11 hours for 100% via howlongtobeat. Looks cool but I'll probably wait until it's around 10 bucks if it ever gets there. To be fair, that's about how long Harmony of Dissonance was for GBA, and that cost about $15-30 depending on if you got it solo or as part of the dual-pack that came out later. Some people get really sour for all the Metroidvanias but I for one will scoop every single one of them up as long as they’re good. Yes, good is relative, but this right here looks GOOD to me and so I will buy it. You know what game I’m looking forward to speaking of Metroidvanias? “Ghost Song.” I haven’t heard a bit about that in quite some time. Nice, I do see the resemblance in how you described the weapon system. Does the challenge compare to OoE? Sounds like I'll be waiting for a sale then. Thank you for the info. How does it play on vita? I’ve been considering it due to cross buy and portability Metroidvania made by Chucklefish? Add to cart! This game OWNS. This looks fantastic, but as with everything these days, on the “wait for a sale” list it goes. There is just too much to play! It's been a while since I've played, but I think it was solid overall with some framerate dips. On launch it was borderline unplayable though, so there's a chance I'm grading it on a bit of a curve. A couple early patches made it roughly 400% better. Nice! More Chucklefish games on Switch! the game looks kinda fun so maybe i'll try it and l do like the pixel art and colors. Sweet, proper animation! Awesome, would be playing this before Bloodstained then. Reviews for the PS4 port were positive. 8 or so out of 10 mostly. It's 19.99 on the PS Store, but with the Switch version you get portability This looks amazing, will definitely keep my eye on it.
If there was a physical I would snap it up, but will probably wait until its discounted. I played a demo a few months ago and the gameplay is legit. I will add it on the wishlist for a sale. This drips SNES and I love it. Watch list for sure. The game looks great, but I heard the game is terribly short. Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
