Originally pitched as a <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/12/wii_u_version_of_indivisible_not_possible_but_nx_is_up_for_consideration">potential Wii U release</a>, this RPG adventure from the creators of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/skullgirls_2nd_encore">Skullgirls</a></strong> raised over $2 million in its <a class="external" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indivisible-rpg-from-the-creators-of-skullgirls#/">Indiegogo campaign</a> back in 2015 and would eventually launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2019.</p> <p>Switch owners have had to endure an even longer wait, but the good news is that, out of the blue, the game is now available on the Switch eShop.</p> <p>The bad news? <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/MikeZSez">Mike Zaimont</a>, one of the original developers, isn’t too happy about the version that has arrived on the eShop, nor was he informed it would be launching this week.</p> <figure class="picture strip"><a title="Indivisible Switch" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/9bf18d52dd435/indivisible-switch.original.png"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/9bf18d52dd435/indivisible-switch.original.png" alt="Indivisible Switch"></a></figure> <figure class="picture strip"><a title="Indivisible Switch" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/1a09993d303e2/indivisible-switch.original.png"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/1a09993d303e2/indivisible-switch.original.png" alt="Indivisible Switch"></a></figure> <p>Zaimont explains that the Switch port was not handled in-house, but he has nothing but praise for it in terms of performance, stating that:</p> <blockquote readability="8"> <p>The Switch version of Indivisible itself is great, the porting group did seriously excellent work! Runs at a stable framerate, even handheld.</p> </blockquote> <p>His issue is that the port is based on the old build of the game which lacks co-op, NG+ or “anything else recent.” We’ll be reviewing Indivisible as it stands right now and will be asking when Nintendo players can expected the most recent build, but for the time being, keep in mind that this isn’t the game that Lab Zero wants to offer Switch owners.</p> <p>In their <a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/indivisible">Indivisible PS4 review</a>, our pals over at <a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/">Push Square</a> said:</p> <blockquote readability="11"> <p>Despite running into one too many difficulty spikes, Indivisible successfully blends the RPG and Metroidvania genres into one stunning experience. Its plot may be simple and some characters bothersome, but the 2D platforming that bridges the gap between those narrative beats is a dream. Indivisible is a little bit too forgettable in a couple of aspects, but it makes up for that when the tough gets going.</p> </blockquote> <aside class="object object-youtube"> <div class="youtube"><iframe class="resize" width="900" height="507" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S5846AJ898U?rel=0&hd=1&showinfo=0&modestbranding=0&autohide=1" type="text/html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]</iframe></div> </aside> </div> https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/2020/04/28/indivisible-is-out-now-on-nintendo-switch-but-the-developer-isnt-happy/ |
