Amazing! Thanks for talking about Tails! Glad you enjoyed it! 🐀

This is such a strategic game. I love how you must manage you equipment to prepare for the horde of enemies you must slay. This makes the game not very linear.

This game immediately made me think of Brian Jaques; Redwall series. So to hear you say it was one of the inspirations... well I can see it.

Eastward, Tails of Iron, Forged in Shadow Torch, Flynn: Son of Crimson...I'm going to go broke.

I was a huge fan of the Redwall novels when I was young. Martin the Warrior was the GOAT. Might buy this just on that basis 🤩

Got an instant Redwall vibe from this, loved those books as a kid. Glad to hear you felt the same. Too many great looking games out recently. I need more time in my life.

It feels like the game is difficult but absolutely fair by allowing him to get tanky and have permanent healing ability

The Red Wall books were phenomenal.

This looks beautiful. Though I'm not a fan of "souls-like difficulty" since I'm nearing 40 and would rather come home from work and play a game to relax not to stress out.

I really like the graphics of this one.

I appreciate this channel so much. You give much deserved attention to so many games that other channels don’t

This game looks amazing! I’m not sure I’m ready for another tough one as I am currently wrapping up the end game content on Hollow Knight.

So many quality 2D games lately! Ender Lillies, FIST, and now this one. I can't keep up. The void of Silksong is being overfilled.

101/10 let's commit Toad-Thing genocide yes-yes

The animation and combat is really an achievement for a smaller team, storybook illustration work really well

Sweet! I've been waiting for a review, and I'm glad yall did it!

Your reviews have helped so much in my decision on a lot of games - thank you for this wonderful review - definitely going to buy this

This game is absolutly great, graphic, atmosphere, fighting system, story, i love it ❤

No way I was literally just considering this perfect timing.

A game narrated by Garland of Rivia ? Count me in!

As a huge souls fan, I can say that this looks awesome. I was initially turned away from the nice frog animal gimmick, but I’ve come around. It looks awesome. Excellent review!

i recently bought a ps5, i was cocky thinking i would be able to have it alongside the switch. my switch sharing a budget with a playstation? I should have known better.. oh well, Astros playroom will have do for the next few years

I was surfing the eshop got Eastward yesterday and i see this today thank you so much for the review this one is going into the backlog 😀

This one was on my radar too, so thank you for the review! The first time I heard the narrator in the video, I was like.. wait, Geralt from the Witcher?! I think you have convinced me to get it now. Thank you as always for the awesome content!

Cant wait to pick this up it looks awesome thanks for reviewing it now I’m certain I’ve gotta get it

When Geralt stops Questing And decides to tell a fairytale story To the Kids in the village... Then the Mouse King brandished his silver sword and Exclaimed "The wind is Howling"

Man, I can’t get this straight after Eastward. And NMH3. And everything else in my backlog. Not to mention when I’m trying to clear space for Metroid Dread and SMT5. Ah well, here I go… Thanks guys!

Definitely getting the physical on this one! It looks amazing. Thanks for the review

I wasn't considering this game at all, but after this review I will. This looks amazing. Thanks for the review!

Waited for this review and am quite excited to pick this one up! Was gifted some eshop cards for my bday and this is perfect!

I loved this game. It's incredibly beautiful, the gameplay is perfectly paced, and the bosses are decently challenging (though I had to restart on the easy mode because I couldn't do the first boss on normal mode 😅).

Didn't get it when it came out due to a ridiculous back catalogue, like most people. Just spotted it for £7.69, so had to buy it. Thanks for the review!

Bug Fables meets Darkest Dungeon for a date in Salt and Sanctuary. More just the art style and charm than mostly mechanics of course, but it looks really good for a Soulsbourne style game. May try this out after Eastward, but right now Eastward is too amazing to stop playing right now. Only thing I play right now other than Eastward is Earth Born :)

Looks like I know what I'm playing whilst waiting for Silksong. Might splurge for the physical. :)

I'm yet to come across the game on Switch where the small text size is an issue. And I do wear glasses... maybe you should start to, Mark :D!

I've paused Eastward for this. Worth it.

I've been waiting for something new that would excite me instead of just "hopefully this will be okay". This looks like it!

This is literally Hollow Night meets The Witcher. Heck Yes.

This reminds me of the comic book series Mouse Guard, which should be also made into a game.

Great review, I never heard of this game. I just picked it up. Thanks.

I JUST picked this up, it was on my Switch Wishlist for a bit, I'm a HUGE fan of the Redwal novelsl (may Brian rest in peace) and I grew up on anthropomorphic animal characters like the Rescue Rangers and the like so it drew me in even though I'm not the biggest fan of Souls style combat but this is a bit more forgiving in the fact you're not set back too badly if you die, unlike other Souls games where you are punished quite harshly at times, there's also the fact it actually HAS difficulty levels you can choose at the start unlike 90% of Souls style games which just have a default 'curve' learning and "Get good quick" kind of difficulty. I was just scrolling my Wishlist on Switch earlier today and saw the game was 75% off...making the game $6.99 USD, a right steal and it also has the DLC included. I've been having fun with it, and while the Clangers style whistle talk CAN get a little annoying in long bouts of gameplay, the frequent save points make it easy enough to take a break if it starts grating on the nerves too over much. I'm US born and raised so I never grew up with the Clangers, only heard of them so getting to play a game where all the 'talking' is done in that way and with pictures minus the narrator is unique at the least. Can't say it's a bad buy, especially for the price I got it and the fact that it's fun, even for someone like me who doesn't really like Souls style games...but I will play them sometimes like Hollow Knight and this.

Nice to know, but guys please review of Flynn: Son of crimson.....

This game looks absolutely beautiful! Story seems awesome might be a pickup..

Holy shit! This games looks amazing..im only 12 hours into eastward as soon as I finish that, this is an instant buy

How is the character progression handled? Can you farm areas for xp to get stronger like Dark Souls? Do places respawn if you use a bench? Also, is it 60 fps/1080p on Switch? (Trying to choose between Steam version and Switch)

I have been waiting for this beautiful game to release but man this thing about you and your brother fighting for the crown in the intro reminds me of Lemmiwinks vs Wikileaks from South Park XD

This looks so good. Added to the backlog :)

Grats on the 200k!!! Well deserved guys!

I personally choose to see this game as geralt telling Ciri a a fairy tale.

This looks so good! Sadly due to my health its not advisable to play Dark Souls like games, only relaxing stuff for me hehe

This game looks amazing!!!!! Ty for the review switchup team!!

Nice to see the review on this.... and to be narrated with such a voice... ahhhh that voice :)

Wind and the willows (repost) Edit: also just picked up eastward and I love it - for those still wondering.

Who read the Redwall book series? Book put in video game

Brian J, Redwall comic? I didn't know they made one. But the original 22 books I had known about. They are some of the coolest fictional animal kingdoms an their foresty underworld. Some of the best books I read back in the day. Along with Fablehaven series. Reading keeps the imagination alive.

That was a really good fun review to watch, thanks Mark. It does look like a wonderful world that has been created and may well cause me to break my own StopTober #nomoregamesthismonth

This one looks good! For some reason I'm loving these worlds where animals rule.

Yass im gonna get this tomorrow. Eastward and tails of iron for me this month is enough to killed the time. Eastward is damn amazing gorgeous hilarious game. You guys should get it.9/10 for me

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

We need a tails of iron 2

Looks a lot like Salt & Sanctuary, which is IMHO a very good thing!

Glad u made a review, now this game is something to behold between the molerat with his electronic music and on point combat mechanics with a lively sort of gear.

King ratius just has nice ring to it when you say it lol

A goty contender from my own hometown? Omg sign me up!

I wish I had the skills to give this gem a go..I’ll sit this one out.

I've been keeping an eye on this game since I found out about it. Good to see that it's a good one.

I had Hollow Knight on the ps4 but never gave it a chance as it was free. I think Tails of Iron is what I was waiting for.

Cannot wait to put my patience to test again. Bring it on, froggos. Great review as always guys.

Really appreciate u guys reviewing this one. Thanks!

I'm glad this game reviewed as well as it has. It looks like a wonderfully fun game to play!

*immediately adds to Christmas List*

Just finished the game it's really good I hope there's a DLC coming soon.

I'll be buying this after this great review thanks! I loved the art style but though it was going to be more like darkest dungeon( I'm not a fan). Thanks!

Whoa whoa whoa, Redwall is a series of novels not comic books. Anyways. Great review 👍

Best game since Hollow Knight! Really enjoyed this and the Bright Fir Forest Expansion. Hope we get a sequel.

You mind readers i was just wondering man when will switchup have a review of this game I’ve been eyeing on. Liked and comment before watching lol.

I've almost finished this game (on the last boss, he's tough!) and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I do have a couple of issues though - for me at least, I've found it a bit buggy. I've had a number of crashes, mainly when you're travelling from one area to the next. I've also had the sound mess up a few times, or just stop entirely and, like the review said, I also lost control of my character a couple of times. Finally, and this is more about the game design, I find it quite hard sometimes to 'see' Reggie during battles when there are a number of enemies/npcs on screen at the same time - the brown/muted visual style makes everything blend in together a bit, and this is accentuated even more when the screen fades to black and white when your energy is low. I guess one could argue this makes the game more realistic, but for me I just found it frustrating. As I said though, it's still a fantastic game and a huge recommendation.

Thanks for the vid! You're an illustrator?! Is there anywhere we can see your work? Genuinely interested as I am also looking become one. 👍

This is a available physically close to me. Don’t tempted me. So much good stuff here.

Thanks for the review! Added this game to my list

I'm def gonna check this out after I'm done with Death's Gambit Afterlife

Heads up for Tails of Iron, looks like solid gold. 😜

you guys are just so hardworking! great job and thanks for the review also do you think you'll review flynn: son of crimson?

Glad I've for something to play since finishing Eastward today 👌💪

Ah my favorite (gaming) channel

The only problem about this Game is: it is wayyy to short...i have my Platin in 10 ours....i mean 10 ours....the Game is realy good but i expected more Playtime.

Looks like them damned portals turned our boy Geralt into a mouse. Thats some funny sh*t right there.

I was looking forward to this one and man it looks so good

Just wanted to stop in and thank you guys for all the hard work you put into this channel. Keep up the amazing work!

I keep going back and forth if should get this on Switch. Seems like the performance is good on the system so I might just do so.

Brilliant review! Excellent writing! Definitely going on wishlist for asap purchase.

This game is amazing guys, just buy it. It is worth buying 100%

Between yesterday and today, we’re so spoiled with nice releases. Now I just hope skatebird ends up being good too!

200K congrats! ❤️🔥❤️🔥

I see people mention redwall but does anyone remember mouse guard?

I would say it’s more like salt and sanctuary, not hollow knight. Some of the bugs look like hollow knight but the combat is much different as you can actually touch enemies when they aren’t attacking you, you can dodge through enemies normally without a cool down and there is no tough platforming in this game.

You guys and Nintendo Life are my favorite reviewers.

Another good release then, Ratsouls like hahaha I really like it

I experienced aesthetic pleasure from this game and got a lot of adrenaline from battles and victories over bosses. Excellent hand-drawn artwork. Perfectly optimized dualshock 5. The game is very difficult, especially at the highest difficulty level. I love hard games and went platinum on this game. in such a difficult game, where to pass the boss you need to die 50-100 times, it is very important that the ps5 has instant downloads after death. For those who love challenges and visual style, this is a must! It definitely takes its rightful place in my collection of masterpieces!
