Reviews for Switchblade (#5089)

Review by judasezt on 15 Jan 2014 (Rating: 4)

Good game which could have turned into an excellent one.
Starts really good with fresh music, nice manga drawings with a fast intro text which gets you into the story brilliantly.

Then the game begins and results in a great exploration platformer. With graphics which remember to RickDangerous, and a beautiful map system which brings to your mind inmediately that masterpiece that is Ranarama.

Those are the great things of the game. The game shows it self like a great world to discover since the very begining.

But as you play, minor problems appear from nothing, which do not dilutes with time.

The main of these problems is that the great story displayed at the begin is lost. It feels lost. This wouldn't be a flaw in 90% of arcade games. But it is in Switchblade.
In the course of the play the game feel void of the lack of story. The lack of interludes.

Those argument issues and some minor flaws in visibility ( too much dithering, wasted possibility to add more colour. ) conform a fairly good game which could have been outstanding.
