Coming out tomorrow in the US and in Europe, Vaccine for Nintendo Switch looks a lot like a popular game that came out quite some time ago that included zombies, doors that opened painstakingly slowly and a scene that made me (more) scared to walk in front of windows at night. The difference here is that you’ve got a 30-minute time limit, in a randomly generated level, to cure an infected friend. Vaccine originally came out on the Wii U eShop and is now being ported over to the Nintendo Switch. The title will launch simultaneously on the US and European eShop and will set you back €9.99 / £8.99.
Here’s the trailer:
Here’s an overview for Vaccine:
30 min time limit and random layouts! Classic survival horror re-invented!
Find a vaccine for your infected friend before the time runs out, but be aware your friend will relapse sooner or later and you will have to find a new vaccine in a new randomly rebuilt house. Will you be able to uncover the mystery to save your friend once and for all!?
Vaccine is a new approach on Survival Horrors inspired by those of the 90s. You can choose between the two members of a special bio-hazard rapid response team, each starting with their own unique differential abilities. They are trapped in a strange house populated by dangerous mutated creatures, they will have to find a vaccine for another team member who is infected with a deadly virus.
Unless you uncover the mystery of the house, every time you bring back the vaccine, the infected team member will relapse and you will be presented with a new randomly rebuilt house. You will be able to gain experience points from different actions and use them on the skills you think will be more beneficial, bringing a more tactical approach compared to the games it takes inspiration from.
AND WHO SAID THE SWITCH COULDN’T HANDLE GRAPHICALLY DEMANDING GAMES!!
Put on your cool boy shades, 😎 it’s time to get PUNny.
||Interesting, looks very similar to the life of my human puppet…||
Why all the dislikes? The game is supposed to look that way.
Not like they are charging 40 or even 20 bucks for it… Looks interesting and fun
Not my genre, but I can imagine some people like it, sooo, why not?
Looks like an interesting indie spiritual successor to the original Resident Evil. Right down to the blocky graphics. I might download this
That narrator sounds almost similarly to the G-Man from Half Life!
Also love the homage to the oringal resident evil games with it’s gameplay and aesthetics!
I’m honest interested and when I do get a switch, I’ll check it!
This looks interesting, but I’m not sure where the horror part comes in going by the trailer. I know it’s inspired by the original Resident Evil (never played it, unfortunately) so can anyone fill me in on what exactly made it such an iconic horror experience?
||Dark areas, limited ammon and weapons, dark ambient music, creepy SFX and of course monsters…||
Leave it to the Commander to know about darkness. Thanks for the concise descriptors.
It has my attention.
||You are welcome comrade…||
Is it for PSX? Definitely it does look better than The Letter though…
