XSEED has confirmed today that the acclaimed 2D platformer Freedom Planet will be coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop this autumn. The game was previously released on the Wii U and proved to be a hit with platforming fans, so its release for the Nintendo Switch will be more than welcome. Freedom Planet on the Nintendo Switch will be playable at E3 2018 between June 12 and June 14. Here’s what you need to know:
“Freedom Planet is a fast-paced combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects to giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but players will have a variety of special fighting abilities at their disposal to blast through more than a dozen massive, nonlinear stages. The campaign may be played through as Lilac, Carol, or the unlockable Milla, each of whom has completely unique gameplay mechanics, an altered story mode in which the selected character takes the lead, and even a few of her own unique stages. Developed by GalaxyTrail and slated for publishing on Nintendo Switch by XSEED Games, Freedom Planet will release this fall digitally on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.”
Sad about no physical release, but it’s cool the game is coming regardless
Is this game any good? Like, anyone who’s played it, what would you rate it out of 10?
Yeah, it’s real fun! If you’re into platformers like Sonic, I think you’ll like it. I don’t usually “rate” my games as it’s all personal opinion of what I like, but I’d give it a 8 out of 10.
If you’re looking for a review that gives you better idea of what it is and doesn’t spoil too much of the story, I would recommend this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6WAnIeBstY
It’s really good. It was a worthy spiritual successor to Sonic games until Mania came back and redeemed the series.
The cutscenes and VA could possible put some people off but you can actually skip all of them OR even just say from the start you just want to play the levels and not be shown the cutscenes.
I have it on Wii U, so I won’t be re-purchasing it, unless they release a physical version, then I would without a doubt.
I got it on Wii U as part of a Nindies humble bundle so I wouldn’t mind picking it up again on the switch
