Around the Network

Oh wow. I’m in love with the animation and production design. And the asymmetrical co-op looks intriguing.



Finally a game that might make me pick up a Switch 2. Loving the art style, and couch coop...yes please!



Not an Anime fan at all but that art style ... damn! ... it looks fantastic. It puts me in mind of what Dragons Lair was trying to do 42 years ago. For those not familiar: Limited by the tech at the time the game was nothing but quick time events, but I have to imagine this is the level of game play / animation they imagined way back when. A mere 4 decades later and this seems to be on par with a vision like that. Bravo.

I wonder if this will later jump to Multi-Plat .... being exclusive seems odd unless they got money hatted ...



Is it possible to play single player?

That's what I'm wondering. I have no one that lives with me right now to play it and only have one person right now who has a Switch 2.

Well I prefer playing alone and would rather have a AI companion controlling the second character lol
