[@SwitchUpYt]

A big thank you to Dave Morrish for writing this one. Please do check out his channel, Savedex Gaming, here: - kzbin.info/door/VaEMQOaZ1Mq3K_il2lVzGQ Does this one interest you? Let us know in the comments section. Glen

[@GrinningWolfGames]

Proper Lost Vikings vibes with a brighter Hollow Knight aesthetic. Nice

[@cory7328]

This is not poetry. This is a Dr Seuss review!

[@mariovj1764]

Reminds me a lot Child of Light, I like it a lot so this also takes my attention, and the ambient is similar to Hollow Knight maybe

[@kaidorade1317]

I’ll pass on this game but again thanks for the review

[@ZamWeazle]

Dave and Sophie's channel is awesome!

[@kinnetikira]

This game is from one of my friends! I love it so far and it’s amazing to have seen the initial concept art before this piece of art was born this week!

[@thisischris5351]

What?! Your friend helped make this game?! I love the game so much. I just found the oldest Courine brother. What is your friend’s name?!

Proudly made by a human collective…nationality is irrelevant and further segregates and separates us….just sayin

[@RidiculousThoughts]

Y muy bien hecho! Necesitamos mas juegos desarollado en latino america.

[@Gameitupchannel]

I opted for rhymes over puns this time because I couldn't top that Pennywise one from that clown game review you did

[@xelthos2051]

Trine and Lost Vikings mixed with Metroid, not a bad idea. Looks great with the art style, and seems pretty fun. Small downsides aren't too bad, may wishlist it for now and add to the backlog later.

[@xelthos2051]

Wanted to add. Tried the demo, liked it a lot.

[@rsiv5156]

This is right up my alley in terms of gameplay, and I absolutely love the art style and presentation, so it’s a definite pickup for me. Thanks for the review!

[@Fergus1986]

I love the art style and I'll buy it for sure, probably in Christmas. It would be awesome if the developers update the game with a detail map

[@eddielim3909]

Played the demo, love the co-op puzzles and boss fight, definitely getting it when it drop. The art style and hand painted background is just beautiful.

[@Dustinthewind03]

50% off now. I’m thinking of getting it.

[@Salamattder]

Just finished the game. 9.5 hrs not rushing through and I found it to be a great length game. Bosses made me think and explore who to use. The puzzles and mazes are good too.

[@Mcw32]

This looks great. I'm getting ready for Baldo and Eastward, so I'll have to wait a bit on this one.

[@amatmulisha2978]

Yes dude. Same with me. Im freaking hyped for baldo and eastward. Definitely day 1 for me.

[@hashslingingslasher3083]

@@amatmulisha2978 Those are the big boy indie games I’m waiting on. Those two & Bear and Breakfast are my most anticipated games

[@doughenry4172]

Ah I’m getting those also. Figured I could get this and possibly beat it before baldo comes 10 days after because I bought Axiom Verge 2 and beat it 3 days later lol. Also highly recommend that game.

[@rossrobbins7707]

I've been looking forward to both of those games for ages. So excited for Eastward in particular!

[@hughlingard]

the demo for this game is absolutely charming and i am just counting down to release date. as always, i love your channel; tip top work gentlemen.

[@alesjanosik1545]

I finished the demo and surely getting it at some point. My 5 years old loved trying it out too.

[@Primalsage]

This looks delightful. Beautiful art and I loved The Lost Vikings back in the day.

[@blizmo2]

I've been following this game for a while now It looks great. Gives me Ori Vibes. Great Review 😎🤙

[@dlarso11]

Thank you for the review, I’ll grab the demo and consider the purchase. Thanks guys

[@Sheekago]

I tried the demo and I found it charming. I was surprised that it didn't have local co-op. It feels like it's designed for co-op and reminded me a bit of the Trine games with multiple characters being able to be picked.

[@RobertJohnLora]

Lmao Dave dropping bars to start off the review. 👌🏽 This game seems to ooze ambiance and atmosphere, love it.

[@FlowerAngelRave]

Despite the frustrations and drawbacks the game has, it definitely seems like the good things outweigh the bad. I’m glad I won’t be cancelling that physical preorder and I’ll hope it arrives in good time. Thanks for the review.

[@Gameitupchannel]

I think you'll enjoy it. The flaws I pointed out probably aren't too bad, if I was playing casually and didn't have my review brain on then they wouldn't have bothered me so much

[@Kraken54321]

Just been notified my copy has shipped. I'm looking forward to playing this one. 👍

[@uncario]

I literally got a KZbin ad for Greak while watching this review of Greak lol

[@LetsPlaymaker]

thumbs up for the rap alone.

[@johnilett3044]

This ones been on my radar for awhile. I’ll be picking this up for sure. Thanks for review

[@der_basic]

Another great review from this channel as expected ^^ Might try the demo later on and see if this is my type of game

[@blackrose2545]

Thanks for the review! I will be getting this one physical 😁

[@senditkitecoaching]

I've been on a bit of a metroidvania binge lately so this has definitely got my attention, looks beautiful 👍🏼

[@_richardaustin]

Same. One of which is the first Ori 1. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to play that incredible game. Gonna play Greak next

[@senditkitecoaching]

@@_richardaustin the first Ori was the one which kick started this particular obsession a few months ago, it's such a fantastic game! The latest one I finished was yoku's island express which I would also highly recommend (especially when I picked it up for like £3 on sale!)

[@_richardaustin]

@@senditkitecoaching oh great thanks! Ori is wonderful and just want to play everything like it now😂

[@senditkitecoaching]

@@_richardaustinyoku's is basically Ori mixed with pinball, and I'm a sucker for pinball 🤣 there's a demo on the eshop to see if you like it

[@hamsterbraten]

What games did you play?

[@kryptomonkey31]

Loving this new poetic direction the channel is heading in.

[@ravennyte7177]

If you hadn't of said that was a Dave review I would have still known from the 1st line. I do like the look of this.

[@Brommel1974]

THX for the Review. It is a physical purchase for me 👾🤘

[@nuke_looter5174]

This game absolutely needs a new map/ map update I don’t care what anyone says in my opinion it’s absolutely needed. The map you get shouldn’t even be called a map you would literally never notice not having it if you weren’t given this one at all. Needs needs needs a map update/added.

[@greybushgames1]

I played through the demo the other day and it was pretty cool and fun…I’ll definitely be buying this next week and this is a pretty solid review but I found the controls pretty simple to use after a couple minutes of messing around with them…

[@ronnieaarts3038]

Fun game, only a bit short.

[@JonathanOber]

Thumbs up for rhymes. I had some audio issues with this that was fixed on a restart. I do agree with most of what you said. Kind of disappointed in the final product knowing the game was years in development. :/

[@Calari_Sapphire]

Each character having special attributes that are individually required to solve puzzles. Sounds a lot like Lost Vikings from ages past. This sounds really great.

[@wanghiskhan7345]

Remember playing that at my uncle's growing up -- then we got the PlayStation version and played the heck out of it

[@kavanaghqc2225]

The way the Characters not in play stand still reminds me of The Lost Vikings. This looks decent adding to my never ending wish list. Great review as always

[@brandonball1685]

Thanks for the review! "Keep it switch up"!!!

[@PrometheusD12]

This kind of reminds me of Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, which I like since that was the first Castlevania game I ever played, so I'm already sold.

[@hloki]

Lovely review as always, the game design looks very clever on this one! Are you guys reviewing Dodgeball Academia too?

[@martindion4846]

Im playing Dodgeball Academia these days. Its GREAT fun. Love the story and gameplay!

[@caos024]

I'm waiting for a physical version. I really want that game lol.

Lovely review, thanks. Had this on my wishlist for a while now, the only thing left to decide is where i want to get it, Steam or Switch.

[@amatmulisha2978]

Im try the demo. It’s amazing so far! Beautiful. Control feel solid and mini boss battle also damn fun. Gonna get this on released date. Baldo end of august and Eastward next month. Indies rule 🤗

I'll get Eastward if they release a physical copy. 👍

Definitely going to check out the demo.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Haha, you're welcome mate! Glen

[@Mayhemz.95]

Sounds like a great game, but with 2 major issues the map and the companions not following, if they support the game and rectify these issues i'll buy it and it would be a 9/10 i would say, atm more like a 8/10

[@jatats7743]

This game looks like it's worth a 20 spot...easily. It reminds me of the TRINE series...

[@markszczepanski5293]

It reminds me of hollow knight on PS4

@@markszczepanski5293 no, play fist shadow torch then

[@giannisc.5254]

This game seems excellent, i will buy the physical edition soon. Thanks for the video guys !

[@Snoopy101a]

I get a Lost Vikings vibe from this. The lack of co-op and the need to control them individually when making jumps does put me off a bit. It would make more sense that when following the AI used abilities accordingly. Maybe a future patch might sell me.

[@martindion4846]

Team17 are publishing bangers after bangers. Will buy this one for sure!

[@rpg_tai_yggdrasil]

EYYY, ITSA LOST VIKINGS BUILD!! Trine did that very well, this looks promising. 🤔

[@rpg_tai_yggdrasil]

Thinking co-op could be patched in at a later date?

[@EricTheKartoonKing]

Lovely looking game, clever concept... but I didn't get past the demo. The flaws with controlling the multiple characters, combined with the fact that you lose if one of the other characters dies, really sours the experience imo.

[@bryanmattingly4640]

Played the demo, was hoping for a pre order,but I'm definitely getting this one

[@Matthew7772005]

I like this game and appreciate the review. The physical game prices in the US are higher. $40 with Gamestop charging $30. Not sure why.

[@JaguarDave54]

Looks interesting 🧐. Probably add it to the backlog.

[@justinfuller3957]

Thanks guys.

This looks nice, will definitely look into getting it later when I can.

[@DvonAntonio]

So they're using a Lost vikings style of stage progression. Nice.

[@lewpal]

Sounds like Lost Vikings.

[@M_I_A_W_S]

I just want to say for anyone on the fence, they did release an update with a full map, an extra boss and quality of life improvements. I’m sure you can bump this score up a few points from that. Cheers.

[@MuztangGT]

Looks good. Reminds me of Ori. Thanks for the review.

[@oldguydave7355]

Much like the game Trine, which I also loved.

[@robballer]

Love the art style in this game!

[@ravel5340]

Mixed feelings. Love at the first sight, great potential and then lots of frustration while controlling two characters, one falling down or getting lost. Let's see if the developer adds some updates later.

[@forcedanonymity2500]

Lost Vikings meets Ori the blind forest

[@Ser-Smiley]

Aaaaawww yissss! Im getting this game! Even if it bankrupts me! 😋 Ive been in love with it ever since i tried the demo. 😍

I mean if an indie game bankrupts you, you have some serious issues and should focus on those rather than on gaming..

@@Lock2002ful goodness me. You must be fun at parties. Its just a joke. A mere 20 usd wont bankrup lil ol me. 😅

@@Lock2002ful it is hyperbole. It could mean he has been buying game after game and this just being another one draining the wallet.

[@maykaeppeli]

I'm so hyped for this game I don't know why. Maybe the lack of Hollow Knight 2 news made me hype everything that is similar to it 😂😂

[@acidriott]

My back catalogue keeps on getting bigger. Lol

[@alessandrorosa3794]

Given the aesthetic beauty of the product, I'm afraid I could find the three character mechanics a bit frustrating, also considering there's no respawn or reliving system and the death of each of the three brings to an instant Game Over. Well, I guess I'll have to check out the demo on the Eshop. Ps: Dave looks a hell of a poet 😂😂

[@chriswarrington9353]

The controls of the characters and the lack of co-op really annoyed me. This game seems perfect for coop

[@davidcbeaudoin]

Nice review! It sounds like a lot of my complaints about the game's demo still linger throughout, but there's no denying it's a beautiful and charming Metroidvania. It gives me a weird combo of Hollow Knight and Ori vibes, between the game's hand-drawn aesthetic and its dark foreboding underground areas and dungeons, contrasted with lush, almost ethereal above-ground areas. I don't know that I'll pick it up right away, but it's on my Wish List now.

[@anthonyyarborough4231]

Looks good. I'll wait for a sale on this one though. Co-op would've sold me easily

[@anthonyyarborough4231]

@Tony Williams 🤣🤣 are you secretly the developer? You okay? You need the money?

[@UsaM]

Another addition to my long ass back log

[@okamic1750]

The art style is beautiful, reminds of Ori. The controls sound awesome considering you’re controlling 3 characters. I’ll have to test it out to see if the reviewer was just having trouble or the devs need to better optimize them. Because click follow, click stay should theoretically work great unless the characters aren’t responding to command then it all falls apart.

[@atiq8987]

The fluidity

[@Litlrox]

I have preordered this game. It’s very beautiful and can be quite challenging.

[@alexmaldonado764]

As long as the storyline is really good. And they add DLC. And the enjoy making this game because they actually believe in it. 🤔 I am 100% I will buy it cause SwitchUp always has great taste in the games they recommend and review. And for that you guys are freaking awesome plus I love the characters already and I haven't even play the game

[@stormrider1049]

I feel I would definitely get this one if it had co-op. Oh well, I think I’ll wait then.

[@thelastdragon5551]

I briefly played the demo and did enjoy what’s been presented so far. Also agree about the annoyance of backtracking between the 2 characters. It’s on sale for $5 atm so I picked it up. Can’t go wrong for that price.
