That’s why it’s a bit of a shame that there’s absolutely no leaderboard support in Mighty Switch Force. That’s not to say you won’t have fun if you play the game at your own pace, but given how every stage has a preset par time, collecting all of the escaped convicts under that set time makes for a real challenge. Add to that a lot of clever enemy placement which also requires you to simultaneously use Wagon’s laser gun, and you’ve got some truly remarkable and wholly refreshing platforming on your hands.Īs previously stated, Mighty Switch Force relies heavily on clearing levels as fast as possible. Certain instances force you to switch blocks while in mid-air, and the timing needs to be pixel perfect if you want to succeed. Blocks are placed ever so precariously, and the game quickly challenges you to switch blocks at crazy speeds as you traverse over pitfalls. Mighty Switch Force isn’t a simple game, though - at least not in the later stages. By using your switch ability, you can make the opaque blocks pop out and the solid blacks fade, opening up new paths in the process. You’ll see certain blocks that are faded out onscreen and others that are completely visible. Your main ability is the block-switching technique, and it’s utterly insane seeing how well this mechanic is employed as the game progresses. It doesn’t take long for things to pick up, though, and soon you’re tasked with avoiding dangerous enemies and maneuvering around hazardous obstacles. Levels start off fairly simple, so much so that you may actually find the first few a bit boring. Five female prisoners are scattered within the confines of each stage, and clearing these stages consists of apprehending all of these ladies with shady criminal records. It’s up to you to scour 16 stages in search of escaped convicts, each of which is every bit as charming as Wagon herself. You play as Officer Patricia Wagon, a dedicated cybernetic cop who doesn’t take guff from anyone. Unlike most 2D platformers, Mighty Switch Force is more about clearing levels within a set time limit and less about getting from point A to point B. The game is now available on the Wii U eShop as Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition, and while not much has changed since its 3DS debut, the addition of revamped levels and those sweet HD visuals make this title very easy to recommend for adopters of Nintendo’s latest platform. The WayForward-developed title quickly made its way into the hearts of many, winning people over with its bright visuals, enjoyable soundtrack, undeniable charm, and challenging platforming gameplay.
