Sure thing, let’s dive into this whirlwind of game releasing stuff and see what’s what. Oh, quick heads-up — I might go off on tangents here and there. Buckle up!
So, there’s this game, right? It’s called ION Shift. I keep thinking “iron” but that’s not it. Anyway, it’s heading for the Nintendo Switch on July 31st. Mark that day if you’re a fan or whatever — I might forget it myself. It’s coming from Flynn’s Arcade and Electro Soul Games. Funny, I always imagine arcades as a place, not an actual company. But that’s just me.
There’s this classic YouTube thumbnail — you know the kind, the ones that are kinda blurry and pixelated if you’re watching with bad WiFi. Anyway, to watch the video, you gotta put in your date of birth. Like, they need to know exactly how ancient you are before showing badass alien creature action. Because… reasons?
So, what’s this game about? Well, it advertises itself as this hardcore 2D platformer. Sounds intense, right? You’re this alien creature, wandering around this huge spaceship that’s both menacing and just, well, packed with bad guys. They got soldiers, turrets, laser drones — all trying to get a piece of you. It’s survival of the fittest, or fastest, or luckiest? You get what I mean.
And then there’s combat — stylish, they say. It’s all about dynamic movements and strategic play. You can dash around, chuck some throwables — whatever those are. (Do grenades count? Who knows!) The arenas allow for tactical moves, like playing chess but faster and way more intense.
Ah, right! Over at PS4Blog.net, they’re gonna review this game. Might be interesting if you’re curious about more than just flashy bits and pieces.
As with any blog, there are loads of images. They show the game, obviously, but some of the descriptions felt like someone tried to decode alien messages. Maybe it’s part of the theme? Or maybe it’s just me getting sidetracked by science fiction daydreams. There’s something there, I’m sure.
Anyway — wait, where was I again? Oh right, it’s coming to Nintendo Switch. Why did I repeat that? Let’s call it emphasis or something.
So yeah, ION Shift. Check it out if battling it out in pixelated space madness sounds like your jam. Maybe I’ll buy it. Or not. Depends how the week goes.
