mighty switch force minus 8 character select

There are a total of 16 stages for you to run, jump, blast, and puzzle your way through. For those thinking that this game is going to be more action and platform oriented, you are only about half right, as the game indeed has these aspects, but make no doubt about it, the game has its heart in the world of puzzlers. It is quite an interesting mix indeed, and having just reviewed a true puzzle game (Pushmo) I found myself adjusting my play style given what is offered in this game. The best way that I can describe the gameplay in Mighty Switch Force is that it is a hybrid game mixing the puzzle genre with action and platform sequences. Don’t look for a deep narrative here, as the game does not need to provide one as it’s job is gameplay, not storytelling. The story is not a deep one, but sets the premise for your adventure. You are a cybernetic cop who has been tasked to search out and capture five escaped criminals who, my assumption is, are bad asses given they are escaped felons. It baffles me how this kind of blatant and irrelevant sexualization gets through a creative team and everyone says 'Wow great idea, yeah let's do that definitely for sure.' Still though, it's not blatantly offensive and it won't stop me from recommending the game to you if you can get it on the cheap, especially if you appreciate smart action-puzzle design.Mighty Switch Force’s story places you in the future where you take on the roll of Officer Patricia Wagon. It's an abstract, goofy game with a silly premise and contextually irrelevant but fun mechanics, and for some reason is vaguely sexualized. There is more ridiculous content like this but I'm sick of describing it. Inexplicably, your character's police armor gets slowly removed each time you die, revealing dark lingerie underneath, like some kind of consolation prize for losing. But every character is a stereotypically hot and skimpily clad babe, including the player's character. The whole premise is that you're a cop collecting escaped prisoners in each level. There are many other games out there for you if that's your thing that are much more appropriate venues for that kind of shameless display. While some of you may be into that, it really seems pointless here. The other gripe I have is the needless exhibition of voluptuous cartoon girls. While I enjoyed having a small and easily digestible experience, it makes me glad I didn't pay the full-price of $6. It's a shame that there's only 21 levels as they're very brief. In classic WayForward fashion, the art and animation is well executed and colorful as well. Not loads of systems or narrative, just fiendishly clever challenges cooked together with accessible mechanics. I'm always inspired by a game like this where exceptional level designers are really the heart of what made the game good. It's an action puzzle-platformer with a very small quantity of deceptively simple mechanics. That said, it's certainly worth playing.Ģh 6m PlayedI did find the game to be a blast to play. It's worth playing if you're into speedrunning to get especially good times on levels, and/or if you get it for a good price, but otherwise I can't recommend it strongly. Mighty Switch Force is a fun ride while it lasts, but it is very short and has a few annoyances. In addition, there were a handful of platforming puzzles that felt unfair, and you only get three hearts (although there are health pickups), so when you get near the end of one of the longer levels and accidentally die, it can be very frustrating having to start from the beginning again. There are target times to beat the levels under if you're interested in speedrunning, so that could extend the game's life for some, but for most it will feel quite short. There are only 21 levels (16 regular, 5 bonus), and I finished them all within 3 hours. Overall this is an enjoyable game, but it is VERY short. Also, the music is very upbeat and enjoyable. It's all very entertaining, though generally quite simple, and once you beat the game you unlock 5 bonus levels which are extra difficult.

Each level consists of making your way through it until you find all 5 escaped prisoners, and then getting to the exit where your big police robot picks you up. You have to contend with various monsters, and lots of platforming & switching puzzles, some of which are quite challenging. You play as a police officer of some sort, tasked with catching prisoners and returning them to jail. A fun platforming game with an unusual (though not unique) mechanic where you can switch back and forth between various blocks/platforms at the press of a button.
