Anno: Mutationem Nintendo Switch Review

[@SwitchUpYt]

Update: Sorry KZbin felt the need to just CUT the end of the video off for absolutely no reason. Sigh. Thankfully it was AFTER the score lol. Hey SwitchUp Family I do so love Cyberpunk I hope you enjoyed this one, absolutely my type of game so made for a fun one to make! Mark

[@vhalrougelarfouxe]

Definitely like the open world aspect. 3D movement while using pixel art? Definite buy.

[@samurai4663]

Cyberpunk games 🥹🥵

[@samurai4663]

Modern HD Pixel games 🥰🥴🥵😷

[@TiredOfAllOfThis]

Looks like it will be my next purchase or may wait for a patch… or two…

[@mekman4]

‘Looks pretty slick! Great Stuff, as always!

[@bradleydunlop1615]

I'm going through the hardest time in my life and your videos are helping to distract the hurt I'm feeling, thank you.

[@offthewallsurfer1]

I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m sorry to hear you’re going through such a hard time. Please hang in there, never give up, and know that there are people who love you. I lost my mother and got a divorce in the same year, last year, it was a really dark time for me, but trust me, time heals the wounds. Please hold fast and be strong, you got this, and remember when one door closes another one opens up. I wish you the very best brother. 👍

[@bradleydunlop1615]

@@offthewallsurfer1 thank you, I would never usually have a conversation like this on KZbin but I need all the support I can get right now.

I am sorry you’re going through a hard time. Don’t ever give up, keep the faith and keep going!

[@anthonyalvarez664]

Hope you're doing better now... If you have a switch lets play OC 2😊

[@greermcgreer8596]

Love the art style of this game, makes me think of fear effect from the old days lol. The demo was pretty good, definitely a wishlist item, kowabunga collection takes precedence over all other games this week. Great review as always!

[@chilly6470]

Agh man, I loved Fear Effect back in the day. The controls were horrible but, it just looked so cool.

[@greermcgreer8596]

@@chilly6470 I know right?! It’s crazy to think of the things I played back then, just for the visual style of it lol. Terrible gameplay and all.

[@JawnSmith]

Idk how I've gone this long without hearing about this game but it had me hooked with all of it's style

[@sadiealexandra]

I love being in this game when I pick it up to play. The story so far hasn't captured my attention, so it isn't my priority, but I do enjoy the visuals and gameplay! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@Radiant_Silverback]

Man, that Artstyle is just gorgeous, isn't it? This was a little gem, although I played PS5. It got a lot of patches which cleaned up the translation issues and made the combat snappier so I'd imagine it'll be well supported on Switch, too.

[@colossalgent]

Last game I am buying for the Switch, gonna retire with my 90 on deck and 10 in backlog..er 11...seriously tho! Thanks for guidance along the way, Switch Up! I'll take it from here.😏

[@xelthos2051]

Definitely gonna give the demo a go, this looks beautiful. Glad when developers add demos for their games.

[@rain1676]

I love you

[@redmage8719]

When it comes to games, I prefer to try before I buy. If I can't do that I just wait at least a month after the game comes out.

[@WardRB]

i played the demo and loved it. if this had a physical release i would have bought it already, but since it doesnt its going on the wish list until a good sale.

[@streetmagik3105]

I think limited Run did the PS4/PS5 physical, so I'd assume they'll get the Switch physical soon.

[@josephpiedmonte]

It was just announced for Switch today

[@gsboss]

limited run shipped out their copies so there is a physical now, just might be harder to get if you didnt preorder.

[@Keinish79]

I just want to show my appreciation for the devs for putting a demo of the game.

[@ImperfectionistGaming]

It always amazes me how developers can make absolutely beautiful games with the 8Bit style. This game looks gorgeous and the little side games within is ALWAYS a welcomed addition 😍

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah funny enough it’s those little things which completed the feeling of being there. Mark

[@samcushing3790]

It’s a misconception when calling the graphics in this 8bit style…it’s simply not. It’s just complex pixel art. If games like this would’ve existed during the 8bit era they would’ve blown our minds.

[@codeninja1]

@@samcushing3790 ya this is like mid 90s pc game graphics.

[@esperago]

Yeah, agreed. I've also been amazed at some of the neo 1bit games that are being released.

[@Antonio-jx3lr]

This doesn't look 8 bit. 16 bit at the least if not 32 bit.

[@chilly6470]

To be fair, the graphics look amazing. The sense of depth and lighting is really well done.

[@minjod]

If they patch things up and release a physical copy, oh man. Give it to me

[@SwitchUpYt]

Too right mate, hope you’re well! Mark

[@Hraesvlgr]

Limited Run just put up pre-orders for physical copies.

[@dontrush4144]

This reminds me of Dex which I absolutely loved. I'll definitely be picking this up.

[@mbrochh82]

you guys are doing really well written and thorough reviews! great job!

[@randallmart92]

Yo imagine a OG Metal gear solid in this style 2.5D. bruh this is so dope! We needs some other games like this!!!

[@Trenchfood]

Still surprises me how prolific you guys are. How can you review all these games yet I can hardly tickle my backlog?

[@SwitchUpYt]

A ridiculous amount of hours sat in front of a screen while the wife moans. Mark

[@d1rkSMATHERS]

@@SwitchUpYt at least you have a better reason than I do. Still get the groans!

[@MrMark1]

Game available to order physically now on Limited Run for Switch

[@MediumHeatGames]

I really appreciate coming to these videos not knowing any of these games you guys talk about but then outta nowhere I’m invested on either it’s worth it or not. Thank you guys and this game looks dope, like a comfort anime.

[@davidcbeaudoin]

Thanks for another great review. After you mentioning this game in your weekly video, I downloaded the demo and played it a bit. I was pretty pleased with what I did play, though admittedly I didn't fully commit to the experience so maybe it's better than my initial takeaway. My brain is filled with Xenoblade Chronicles 3 right now and I'm trying to stay focused and get through that before I shift to anything else. The everlasting backlog struggle.

[@Xuvier]

2 minutes into the review. I’ve seen enough. Gonna go search it on my eShop right now lol this is way too up my alley.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Heheh that’s very cool! Mark

[@gortys3929]

Yo Mark, thanks for the review. I have bought the game prior release. I love cyberpunk and this game gets automatically +10 for me :)

[@newdivide9882]

Had no idea this had or was even going to come out for Switch until now, but I’m happy for this. I was only interested in buying XC3 and Metal Slug Tactics this year. That short list is now up to five games thanks to Nier Automata, Megaman Battle Network Collection, and now this lol

[@ForgetDanny95]

This game looks like it’s for me thanks for the review. Super quirky and funny with amazing art style and freedom of control

[@woodneel]

Ooh, noticed a couple of costume changes for the main character - love me some dress up in my games if it's not just a pallette swap!

[@FutureAlien]

I played the demo after you mentioned it in your recent releases video. Like yourself, I was extremely impressed by the atmosphere created by the graphical and artistic style and the amazing soundtrack, which allowed the story to pull me in more than I anticipated. I did notice the small annoyances you mentioned (performance, some weird translations, a couple of typos) but overall the effort put in this game shines through.

[@nyoverse]

Typos in a game is a big no no.

[@adrii7186]

Was JUST looking at this one on Steam. Didn't know it was on Switch.

[@Becktastic01]

With some games I don't care much if the main story isn't great, I tend to get sidetracked by other stuff like sidequests and crafting etc so this might be for me! Thanks for another really helpful review.

[@CRAgamer]

Yesss this made it to switch, it's been on Playstation for a while and I've had my eye on it but now I definitely wanna give it a go.

[@statesminds]

I have a limited run physical of this preordered for ps5. Looked interesting.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Oh nice I did see that I wonder if it will come to the switch. Mark

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

I was pretty much sold until the issue with the tiny text was mentioned. When you already have bad eyesight, microscopic text is a killer.

[@flippen721]

The art style and camera work sort of feels like a zoomed in Xenogears, i really like it. Seems like a good choice for a Xenogears remake (dreaming)

[@slowpoke8585]

I’m almost done with the game and it’s OKAY. The combat is pretty alright and the visuals are amazing! I got confused as to how creating chips for your weapons worked so I ended up wasting resources. The story did NOT engage me AT ALL. It was hard to follow. And there is so much letters and pamphlets you can read, but it’s just a bunch of nonsense that I stopped reading them altogether. I love Ann Flores. Her character has style. I would give this game a 6.5/10.

[@mstrjedisdk]

This game looks awesome! I will have to keep an eye on it… Maybe an early Christmas present to myself. But I have to choose between this and Cult of the Lamb. And then there is Signalis… oh my back log is getting heavy.

[@MunkeyD]

Can I just say: I love that you guys have a patched up series revisiting games that have been patched up by the devs. This game looks amazing. And hopefully it gets patched up. My backlog is crazy. But I’ll pick it up after some fixes.

[@Evansmustard]

I had no idea of this games existence until saw your review of this a few days ago. Definitely one of my favorite pickups from this channel. Haven't experienced any performance issues but I play on a Lite so maybe portable mode just runs better.

[@traviscooper2205]

It looks like a peppier version of Shadowrun. Looks fun.

[@snooootch]

Cheers Mark - definitely another one to add to the backlog! We seem to be going through a period of some really good Switch games at the moment - not that I’m complaining!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah for sure - I would much rather that than the alternative haha! Mark

[@aymanmahmood2608]

Thanks Mark for this great review! I am really into this Cyberpunk genre and style. gonna play it ASAP.

[@MEDUSAvsSHOE]

I wish I could squish this game and Cloudpunk into one game.

[@broken1394]

Gotta love a Cyberpunk game - really like the sound of the combat, honestly the text size is an issue for me though - i play Switch HH 100% of the time. Common problem and i'm grateful you mention this. 🤸🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah they need to impose a minimum text size

[@jeffrey5976]

Bubblegum Crisis was a great anime

[@martindion4846]

The look of this game is just wow! Incredible work here! I need this!

[@dawnaeaclaudiuscaesaraugus714]

You put me right off by comparing it to Ergo Proxy, then pulled me back in with the rest of the video. Good work!

[@SwitchUpYt]

It was just the ideas really within that - glad I got ya back! Mark

[@couldbepablo]

Sad it cut at the end :( I look forward to your "see yaaaa" at the end of every video you do

[@SwitchUpYt]

Same mate, those KZbin jokers! Seeeeeya! Mark

[@Gotmilkman1993]

I won the game on Twitter and I've been playing it alot so fun and it's not even out yet lol 🤣

[@SwitchUpYt]

Result! Nice one mate. Mark

[@jasonx5292]

_This game looks like Akane & Dex had a baby, I really want to play this!_

[@SwitchUpYt]

It really does

[@Theesotericcamel]

Has this game been patched up? It is getting a physical Switch release through Limited Run Games and I am very tempted to get it....

[@jw6588]

I can't quite believe my eyes, but the pixelated Anne's character design is hot af.

[@mariovj1764]

Actually is like another good platform game, with cyberpunk elements

[@AlexDayz]

Tried the demo and while it’s definitely fun and I love the art style the text is way to small especially more since I play on the Switch Lite. Thank goodness the switch has the Zoom feature but hopefully they patch it so you can increase the text size. Will probably wait for it to go on sale since I’ve already got an extensive backlog.

[@blizmo2]

Was hoping you guys would cover this one 😎🤙👍👍

[@TEEN1DOL]

I like the visual style of this game. Definitely adding it to the wishlist

[@RAY19740]

This game looks and feels amazing 🤩 glad you review it i know it will not disappoint it

[@jaydenmoon1165]

I have been looking forward to this for a while - cannot wait to play - Loved your review as always - thank you

[@kaidorade1317]

I’m sorry but I feel that text size options should be a requirement on the Switch. I play on my Lite. And with my eyesight not the best changing text size is a must for me

[@SwitchUpYt]

Absolutely agree! Mark

[@thegrimm54321]

I LOVE that this game has a demo. I downloaded it yesterday and liked it enough to see if you had a review out because I'm considering spending my HARD earned money on it. I wouldn't have been able so discover this game without a demo! The art style is fantastic, and who doesn't love a dope cyberpunk setting?

[@amatmulisha2978]

Highly recommended! I can’t wait to continue the game tomorrow

[@TheAdamwingman]

Great review as always! Art style has an immediate draw for me.

[@sofaking1180]

Yeah the visuals certainly represent the best of how good you can make that "pixelated" artstyle look.

[@michaelduha5550]

Didn’t know anything about this game, say its game play in a top 10 list and fell for the art style. Immediately bought it on my steam deck

[@osciisnow]

Tbh it look like a fun game that I will enjoy but it not fun enough to the point where I just buy at full price sadly I probably just wait for a sale

[@DebugMenu]

I don't think that girl is her "best friend" lol

[@Ser-Smiley]

Quite interesting this one. There's a demo you say? Thats great. Ill check it out later. 😋

[@WaterMusic34]

Picked up the demo a few days back and I was surprised how much demo there was. It just kept going. I really enjoyed exploration, combat, and of course the art and music. Hope there's something they can do to help framerate but at this point it's really not on a bad enough level to keep me from wanting to grab it. Cool review, sorry good ol' youtoob cut your video lol

Nice comparison with Ergo Proxy.

[@maxmustardman298]

Its a great game just bc how well the cyberpunk world is established and sucks you in. My biggest gripe is the in and out voice acting, when you expect spoken dialogue there is none and vice versa. They should left it out althogether.

[@samfisher5056]

Played on ps4, great game.Going to buy it for the switch
