00:51 - _"For reasons unknown to the player, he wants to take down Nebron; a mysterious, maniacal dictator who rules over the Ark and it's peoples from the comfort of the sanctuary."_ I haven't played the game, so it's just a guess, but perhaps he wants to take down Nebron because he's a mysterious, maniacal dictator who rules over the Ark and it's peoples from the comfort of the sanctuary? 🤔
This might be even better 😁 I've been watching tons of your video reviews I'm so stoked to get a switch I haven't had a game system in 5 years and I love the portablity of playing or the TV for friends. I was told there's only kids games on the switch so I never really looked that far but they got games for everyone
I got the game simply because its aesthetic reminds me of Let It Die. Somewhat surprised to learn that this was by the OG Harvest Moon people. I think it’s a good thing that they are trying out new stuff other than Story of Seasons. The combat definitely feels like it needed a bit more depth to it, but hopefully they can improve on that in a sequel if this sell enough to warrent that.
I'm really surprised, I would've thought FirstStudio/Marvelous would have the farming/resources loop fine-honed to a T by now. 🤔 Maybe they'll make adjustments ..?
Thanks for the review! Been contemplating buying this but i was hold off waiting to see your review. Gonna buy this on super sale only, still playing Dysmantle anyway :)
For anyone on the fence there is a demo that lets you play up until the first boss I bought the deluxe I’m enjoying it and I’m in the second area where there’s a huge difficulty jump
The demo doesn’t give you enough in my opinion - I was REALLY enjoying it until around to 10-15 hours mark where it just becomes a slog. The demo in this instance was quite clever from the devs but it’s not a true reflection of the whole game. Mark
I was waiting for your review. I must say I am disappointed I hoped it wouldn’t have too much “resting” as that can really turn me off. I think this is going to be a sale for me. Thanks again Lads. You just saved me a tenner :)
I got to the point where I get Pavlovian response to TH-cam's notifications. Whenever one of your videos drop I get shot of dopamine, no matter the topic. Thanks for keeping me company through the years, boys!
I'm trying the demo of this currently. Seems interesting but I am having a lot of trouble traversing the menus, it barely registers the thumb stick being moved, but is completely fine outside of the menus
I’ve had a bit of fun with the game so far. There are several ambitious ideas, which I think are not as well executed as the could be, but the price for the game makes it forgivable in my opinion.
@@SwitchUpYt I’m a few hours in. Just got off for the weekend, so I can finally dump some time into it. I had a feeling that what was pointed out in the review was going to be the case. I think they really missed establishing an enjoyable gameplay loop like RF or SOS
Its ironic because Marvelous is known for Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games but dropped the ball on the farming mechanics in this game. Its great that they are trying sonething new but should have really polished this before release. I won't be picking this up until the QOL features and farming are fixed. EDIT: I found your review on Dysmantle and it seems like a better choice between the two in this genre.
I hope this game gets some QoL updates in the future because a game that combines farming with firefights is something I've wanted for a while and Palworld isn't out yet so this was as close as I got
Best damn review channel for switch on TH-cam! Was hoping for this review from you all! You just keep dropping gems. Looking forward to more. Side note demon slayer is coming to switch soon I haven’t played on my ps5 yet and I’m hoping you all review it! Much love thank you for your contribution
Shame, I really love the idea of the game on paper. Might get it on a sale, maybe the devs will adjust or add some more features with updates. A game I bought a while ago but never got into was Skul. Started playing it again after the latest update and while it is still hard as hell(in a good way) a lot of the different skulls have been improved making a chance of a decent run much better. I also finally got most of my stuff upgraded or unlocked so I usually get to at least halfway or more through the game each run. Haven't beaten it yet though.
Seems like there's some fantastic ideas in here but the implementation just isn't there yet. Wonder how this game will look in a year with some patches?
It kind of sucks that you can’t customize your character to what you want with different armor, helmets, accessories etc etc. also the loot kinda looks pretty bare. I don’t know… maybe I’d might get it on sale but I wish there was more to do and more to grind for
The game looks fine it's just not for me. Maybe it's the whole like top down camera or just the idea but for whatever reason it just doesn't click with games I like.
I enjoy Survival games that are forgiving. There are too many difficult survival games for us beginners. Definitely you buy this game once on sell. I enjoy survival RPGs, latest favorite is Medieval Dynasty.
Another thing drove me nuts about this game is when you pick up items it cost energy I understand standing hit objects to get resources,but picking up an item drains energy to o0. Which the game does not explain this well. But it still a good game pick up in my opinion. Thanks review.
Anyone know if this game has had any patches/updates since launch? Seems like there a few obvious issues that could be fixed should the dev decide to sort it
I'm wondering if we can get a post apocalypse list lol. I seem to remember one where it was top down and there was tactic style combat. Just can't remember the name. Roads end? But every time I look its not the game I want.
I have been sitting on the fence for this one...Thankfully not a picket fence 🤔. Thanks for the review guys maybe a cheeky sale and I will hop off the fence 😜
I love post-apocalyptic and survival games. So it's unfortunate that I only need to watch to 2:55 to know this isn't for me. I loved playing Green Hell (feels like surviving). I hated Story of Seasons (feels like work). But as always, thanks for the review.
Warning: Progress from the demo DOES NOT transfer over to the full game. I put two hours into the demo and now have to start over 😑. I recommend you avoid my mistake, and pick it up within the first 30-60 minutes, if you’re enjoying it.
Hm...I'll wait for a sale. Hope if it gets a sequel that they'll take the criticism and the concept will be improved. Thanks for the review, would have probably never heard of this game otherwise!
thanks though it was way better, about zombies ?i m gonna Stay on the R.E. series, or army of the dead (the last one about army of the dead4 that you did a review on was very good) thanks One more time😊💪👍
I've spent around 40 hours on Dysmantle the past month. This seems to be similar but better at combat but worse in the crafting/recipe part. Has anyone who played both can confirm?
Mmmm, this one looks interesting but it seems that needed a little bit more polish and content variety to put it over the top. I think I will wait for a discount.
Story of Seasons: Survivors of Junk Town.... I'd play this for the farming and crafting but I'm worried about my ability to manage hunger and health.. 😔
I feel like 90% of this game was just taken from How To Survive. I was thinking they both had to be made by the same devs but they arent. Crazy how much they look alike.
@@SwitchUpYt A that's a shame, but thanks for the answer 🙂. So few games coming to Switch have any stealth component, I feel. Currently waiting on Winter Ember, but that has been delayed for Switch...
Yea… sounds like a drag to play yet fun, and something I would watch a play-through of. Shame. Maybe the demo can change my mind, but I don’t have high hopes. Thanks for the review as always!
Fallout would look terrible on the switch. 3 and New Vegas already look dated on other more powerful systems. So on the switch with limited render distance, poor frame rate and low resolution. It’ll just be a blurred shortsighted mess unfortunately.
@@teejaysounds420 wth are you on about? The ps3 and xbox 360 are much more weaker than the switch. The switch absolutely annihilates them. The switch is way more powerful. So if they port new Vegas or 3,they would look better, way better on switch.
@@Hamox Idk man, maybe in terms of components the switch is more advanced. But in terms of actually running the games without terrible render distance and frame drops I still think those console are superior. And why wouldn’t they be, they’re large and have a larger fan so of course they can be pushed harder. I’m not hating on the switch, but when it struggles to run it’s 1st party games and even launch title. It doesn’t bode well for any 3rd party games.. Don’t forget, the switch is a glorified tablet.
@@Hamox I mean look at Skyrim (another Bethesda game) on the switch. Yeah it looks a little prettier. But even in docked the switch has issues with frame rate.. Something that wasn’t an issue on the old gen consoles.
@@teejaysounds420 That was definitely an issue on the old gen even on PS3 what are you even talking about right now. The switch is definitely more powerful then the Xbox 360 and PS3.
why does a C tier game have more than one DLC within a week of being released? all the steam reviews are trashing it I thought it might just be a $2-$5 phone port or something but god damn $35!?
I tried playing the demo and drinking water/eating food didn't do anything. Couldn't raise my health. Got injured just swinging the axe or rolling pretty much from the start. Depleted all my inventory for nothing. Still died way too fast. Why even have it a mechanic of the game if you can't actually use it correctly? I say this game is a huge pass, for me. The story really wasn't that interesting. Voice acting wasn't really great. The NPCs were completely generic. Just not an enjoyable experience at all based off the demo. Maybe the actual game improved these things 🤷🏻♂️ doubtful. Great video though, as always 🔥🤌🏼 Stay Free 🙏🏼🤘🏼
@@SwitchUpYt oh. Well that's pretty lame. I was already hurting by the time I got the gate open. I was really supposed to go back and sleep after 1 mission? No thanks lol seems too much like real life 😂
Tried out the demo and wasn’t too impressed with it. That being said, I’d probably consider picking it up during a super sale if it ever does come about. Definitely thought it was a Suda51 game. And aside from the zombie apocalypse genre, it gave me similar vibe to ‘Dead or school.’
@@fidtutosegames thanks for the heads up. well for now it’s gonna be on the eshop wish list until it ever goes on a decent sale. Still need to crawl through my way out of the ol’ backlog.
Hunger meter strikes again! This is quite possibly the worst trend in games nowadays. Offers absolutely no challenge nor adds anything to the game, just forces one to back track. The graphics and combat made me go, "Wow! How come I never heard of this gem?" then the hunger meter comes crashing down and ruins everything.

I haven't played the game, so it's just a guess, but perhaps he wants to take down Nebron because he's a mysterious, maniacal dictator who rules over the Ark and it's peoples from the comfort of the sanctuary?

I really want to pin this comment. I think I will! Love it! Mark X
That's a wild guess! Probably incorrect!
You might be onto something there...
Lol I didn’t think of that lol 😂
I have uploaded my video. I really enjoyed playing but I agree with a lot of your observations. Well done!
Hey SwitchUp Family - I do wish we could get Fallout on Switch but I snap up anything post apocalyptic. Still, let’s see what this one has! Mark
I am waiting for my fallout on the go!
New Vegas on switch would be amazing.
If they ported Fallout 3 and New Vegas to the Switch they'd sell big time. Bethesda needs to get on with it.
Finally ive been waiting on this review

Finally a game with farming simulator aspects that interests me. Grow your own zombie army you say??? COUNT ME IN!!!!
This game did peak my interest initially but after watching an hour of gameplay yesterday and your review its become a maybe. Thanks guys.
7 euros atm
I'm really surprised, I would've thought FirstStudio/Marvelous would have the farming/resources loop fine-honed to a T by now. 🤔

I think they should
It's a great game IMO
Thanks for the review! Been contemplating buying this but i was hold off waiting to see your review. Gonna buy this on super sale only, still playing Dysmantle anyway :)
Been looking forward for your review for quite a time now. Thanks as usual for a very good and honest review. Shall consider playing this.
This is definitely a wait for a sale for me, and even then I'm not that sure after seeing gameplay.
For anyone on the fence there is a demo that lets you play up until the first boss I bought the deluxe I’m enjoying it and I’m in the second area where there’s a huge difficulty jump

Literally just hearing about this game 10 minutes ago and yall drop a review. Great timing lads!
I really want to play this game. Your review kind of tells me it misses out on a lot of potential? has there been any updates since review?
I was waiting for your review.
I must say I am disappointed I hoped it wouldn’t have too much “resting” as that can really turn me off. I think this is going to be a sale for me. Thanks again Lads. You just saved me a tenner :)

Is this 60fps?
No
69%? Nice
borderlands map?

This game sucks you end up eating and sleeping the game away fix this crap! eat when you need health and have to sleep every 5 enemy fights!
Yep it has real design flaws - you should be able to just WAIT like so many other games
