No word on a physical version just yet &#8211; we\u2019ll keep you posted on further details.<\/p>\n<p>A side-on action roguelite affair, Hotel Barcelona is collaboration between Japanese developers SWERY (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/deadly_premonition_2_a_blessing_in_disguise\">Deadly Premonition<\/a>, <strong>D4<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/missing_j_j_macfield_and_the_island_of_memories\">The Missing<\/a>) and SUDA 51 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/killer7\">Killer7<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/no_more_heroes\">No More Heroes<\/a>). It launched to a mixed reception last year, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/hotel-barcelona\/\">a 58 on Metacritic<\/a> at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>The March update has apparently helped, with the PR blurb claiming that \u201cSteam reviews have swung strongly positive\u201d in the past couple of months. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2286600\/HOTEL_BARCELONA\/\">Checking out the Steam page<\/a>, there are currently 13 \u201cVery Positive\u201d user reviews versus 257 \u201cMixed\u201d, so take that \u201cstrongly positive\u201d line with a fistful of salt.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, if you\u2019re a fan of these cult devs and their unique styles, you\u2019re probably used to a caveat or five.
