Okay, so, have you heard about this game called ION Shift? Yeah, it’s this wild 2D platformer that’s hitting Nintendo Switch on the 31st. Which July 31st, you ask? Well, not sure why I remember this, but it’s there. Flynn’s Arcade and Electro Soul Games are the brains behind it, and honestly, I’m pretty curious about how it’ll all play out, so swing by and give it a peep if you can!
Now, there’s this video preview thingy — wait, hold up. You need to enter your birthdate to watch it. No joke. Something about rules, or they’re just curious? Who knows!
But back to the game: It’s all about this alien. You’re cruising through a gnarly space ship that’s filled with, like, military dudes, turrets, and, oh, laser drones. Why so many lasers? They just can’t get enough of them, can they?
The combat’s got this stylish twist. Imagine dashing around like a mad person — wait, scratch that — like a strategic mad person, throwing stuff here and there, just trying to, you know, not get obliterated. It’s almost sandbox-ish. Every move kinda feels like… You know when you’re playing chess, but on roller skates, in a field of Jell-O? Yeah, that. If that makes sense. Maybe it doesn’t, but just roll with it.
Anyway — wait, no — speaking of reviews, we’ll definitely be taking this baby for a spin soon at PS4Blog.net. So, if you’re even a little bit intrigued or just want to see me ramble some more, do drop by.
Should I mention the images? Loads of them with all these tags and numbers — sorry, my brain just briefly short-circuited there. But yeah, pictures galore there too!
