Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for May 14th, 2024. In todayā€™s article, we start things off with a couple of reviews from our pal Mikhail. Heā€™s got a look at the significantly improved My Time at Sandrock, plus a steady evaluation of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! to get us going. After that, I dive into todayā€™s new releases, which include at least a few games worth considering. We finish things up as ever with the lists of new and expiring sales for you to digest. Letā€™s get to work!

Reviews & Mini-Views

My Time at Sandrock ($39.99)


my-time-at-sandrock-review-patch-switch-main.jpg


My Time at Sandrock released late last year on Switch and other consoles with it hitting 1.0 on PC, but the Switch version was quite lacking. This wasnā€™t a big surprise because My Time at Portia was very rough on Switch, and isnā€™t great even today. Since My Time at Sandrock is a much more ambitious game across the board, I didnā€™t think weā€™d see many fixes, but I was thankfully wrong. The developers didnā€™t want to give up on the Switch port, and it got a lot of optimization with a major update a few months ago. Iā€™m revisiting the game for this review to highlight how the Switch version is, and whether the game is worth your time today on Nintendoā€™s hybrid system.

Well, I already included it in my feature on the best cozy Nintendo Switch games, so yes, I definitely recommend it, but I canā€™t remember the last time a game of this scale saw such a huge upgrade in its sequel. There are additions and enhancements to just about every aspect of the game, and Iā€™m glad the team released this in early access to fix things up even more before bringing My Time at Sandrock to console.

my-time-at-sandrock-review-patch-switch-bridge.jpg


If youā€™re new to the ā€œMy Time at" series, My Time at Sandrock is basically a huge life simulation game that features resource gathering, farming, loads of customization, many NPCs, a lively town, building, and more. My Time at Sandrock, like My Time at Portia, gives you a lot of freedom, and I always love soaking in the worlds in these games and just doing my own thing while all the other NPCs are on their routines.

When it comes to life simulation games, until I got a Steam Deck, I used to prefer playing them on Switch. Now, I like having them on both devices and basically like them the most on portables, but having bad ports doesnā€™t help. Some games like Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town and Rune Factory 5 from Marvelous had similar issues, though they never saw the fixes they needed. My Time at Sandrock thankfully got fixed up enough to be in a state Iā€™ve enjoyed playing it in handheld mode, though this is still the worst platform to play it on when it comes to visuals and performance.

In a lot of ways, My Time at Sandrock feels like one of the best sequels in the genre with how much it improves, but there are some aspects that feel like a step back. Iā€™m not sure if it is fair to compare My Time at Sandrock to My Time at Portiaā€˜s current version, but there are a few polish issues, and some elements that look lacking on Switch.


My Time at Sandrockā€˜s music is amazing. The voice acting gets the job done, but the music kept getting better the more I played. I never got tired of it in the time Iā€™ve put into the early access Steam release, the 1.0 launch on Steam Deck, and the Switch version since getting it. I hope we see more added in updates and even potential DLC.

Right now, you can play My Time at Sandrock on Switch in prioritize performance or quality mode when docked. I didnā€™t spend too much time with it docked, but it definitely didnā€™t bother me like Portia did on Switch. The UI needs work though since it feels sluggish quite often even for basic menus.

my-time-at-sandrock-review-patch-switch-farming.jpg


My Time at Sandrock is an excellent life simulation game that improved on everything in My Time at Portia. It is bigger and better, and the recent updates have made it one I can recommend on Nintendo Switch as well. If you held off on it after hearing how rough things were at launch, you can now grab it. It isnā€™t as good as My Time at Sandrock on Steam Deck, but it is worth getting for handheld play now. -Mikhail Madnani

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! ($59.99)


demon-slayer-sweep-the-board-switch-review-main.jpg


When Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! (henceforth Demon Slayer Sweep the Board) was revealed as a Switch exclusive, it made sense, despite the prior Demon Slayer game available on all platforms right now. These kinds of party board game hybrids seem to do well on Nintendoā€™s hybrid system, and after how well the Demon Slayer action adventure arena game was on Switch, this made even more sense to release soon, but I was curious how this would feel for someone playing solo or online mainly.

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board ships with five boards available at the start covering the Swordsmith Village, Yoshiwara Entertainment District, Mugen Train, Tsuzumi Mansion & Mt Natagumo, and Asakusa & the Northwest Town. These boards feature different movement methods based on the theme. The boards themselves are great, but where Demon Slayer Sweep the Board falters is in the minigames being inconsistent in quality. You can play against the CPU and set difficulty levels for each CPU player, or tackle the game online with matchmaking. Matchmaking sadly didnā€™t work too well for me both now and around launch.

demon-slayer-sweep-the-board-switch-review-4.jpg


In future updates, I hope the online play can be improved. Matchmaking takes too long, and most games Iā€™ve had are not fun because of the stability issues. Aside from that, Iā€™d love new characters or even more boards added as DLC. I assume something will be added when the game is ported to other platforms in the future.

Visually, Demon Slayer Sweep the Board is a mixed bag. While some areas look really good given the platform, there are some clear cutbacks for it being on Switch. Some parts of the game even have very blurry textures or low resolution assets despite the low frame rate target on Switch. I assume some of this was done to ensure it plays well online against other players, but it still disappointing. The gameplay movement with changing perspective and animations are very good though, as are the character models.

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board ships with dual audio support which is good to see. Smaller scale anime games usually only include Japanese voiceovers. Aside from that the audio in general fits the IP and board game setting.

demon-slayer-sweep-the-board-switch-review-3.jpg


Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! has a lot of potential, but it is lacking for online play right now. If you have folks to play with locally and like the IP, this will be a good purchase. The team at CyberConnect2 did a great job translating Demon Slayer to this setting, but I hope thereā€™s more added through the year and the online is improved. -Mikhail Madnani

SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5

Select New Releases

Braid, Anniversary Edition ($19.99)


braidanniversaryedition.jpg


The game that made Jon Blow one of the early darlings of the console indie scene is now available on the Switch in very fine form indeed. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and platforming challenges in pursuit of a missing princess. But maybe there is something more to this story? This Anniversary Edition gives the game the deluxe treatment, with new art, creator commentary, and a whole lot more. Mikhail certainly enjoyed it in his review, so if this particular flavor of belly-button lint is your thing, itā€™s an easy pick-up.

Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior ($24.99)


lysfangathetimeshiftwarrior.jpg


The latest release from Quantic Dreamā€™s Spotlight label, developed by Sand Door Studio, Lysfanga is a time-manipulating action game where you create temporal clones of yourself to aid in combat. Indeed, the action here almost feels like youā€™re solving puzzles, and itā€™s very clever in how itā€™s set up. There isnā€™t much more to it than the combat, unfortunately. It makes what could have been a great game into merely a good one, but it might still be worth looking into.

Biomutant ($39.99)


biomutant.jpg


I actually expected the Switch version of this game to add some technical woes on top of the gameā€™s existing issues, but itā€™s a surprisingly good conversion. I mean, keeping the limitations of the hardware in mind. And that means weā€™re left with Biomutant, an interesting open world action-RPG that gets about as much wrong as it gets right. Itā€™s certainly an ambitious game, and if youā€™re the sort that can be tolerant of rough edges for the sake of some fun or interesting gameplay elements, you might consider taking a punt on this. But be aware that there are a lot of rough edges here.

Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer ($16.99)


slayersxterminalaftermath.jpg


I mean, yes. This certainly looks like part of the Hypnospace Outlaw universe. This is a first-person shooter that leans hard into a 90s edgelord aesthetic, and it captures it with remarkable precision. As a shooter itā€™s decent classic-style action, but what really makes it is its bizarre protagonist Zane. Those of us who were teenagers in the 1990s will likely see a lot of ourselves in him, even if it makes us cringe to do so. Our pal Mikhail is going to be reviewing this one, so do look forward to that.

Athenian Rhapsody ($14.99)


athenianrhapsody.jpg


Lots of unusual games today. Thisā€¦ might be the oddest, and on a day with Slayers X also releasing, thatā€™s saying something. Itā€™s a comedy RPG with so many choices and variables that no two playthroughs will be exactly the same. Moreover, when you finish the game youā€™ll get a postcard you can trade with other players and use in different ways that are not all entirely clear yet. This could be really cool, or it could be a total dud. I havenā€™t had a chance to play it yet, so I really canā€™t say one way or the other.

Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution ($49.99)


neptuniagamemakerrevolution.jpg


Another Neptunia action-RPG, and what can really be said about these at this point? The characters have dedicated fans who are going to show up no matter what, the budgets are a lot smaller than the ideas the developers want to realize, and yet despite feeling like ten pounds of mud in a two-pound bag, thereā€™s a certain charm to it all. I canā€™t imagine thereā€™s anyone out there reading this who hasnā€™t already made up their mind on Neptunia as a series; this installment will not convert anyone one way or the other. Nevertheless, I will be doing a review of it. Itā€™s what we do.

Sales


(North American eShop, US Prices)

Plenty of good games on sale today, with some new low prices on things like Prodeus, Supraland, Temtem, and more. The outbox on the other hand isnā€™t quite as full of gems, but itā€™s at least worth a look-over to see if anything grabs you. Check both of those lists and see whatā€™s what.
