Hgh Comments Off on SwitchArcade Round-Up: Reviews Featuring ‘Easy Come Easy Golf’, Plus ‘Jack Move’ and Today’s Other Releases and Sales TouchArcade – Touch Arcade

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 20th, 2022. In todays article, weve got a review of Clap Hanz Easy Come Easy Golf. There are a few new releases to check out, including a pair of visual novels from Idea Factory and a JRPG-style game with style to burn. Beyond that, weve got the usual lists of new and outgoing sales. Lets get to it!

Just to make it clear from the get-go, this is the Apple Arcade game Clap Hanz Golf adapted for Switch and given a new name. Your twenty bucks frees you from the subscription model that meant you were basically renting the game at best, and ensures that whenever the day comes for Clap Hanz to leave the service, the game is still around in some form. Those who are further in the know probably are aware that Clap Hanz is a spiritual successor to Sonys Hot Shots Golf, which developer Clap Hanz worked on from Hot Shots Golf 3 onward. A series which was conceived by Camelot, who also went on to work on the Mario Golf series from the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color onward.

I didnt hate Mario Golf: Super Rush, but I can understand people who werent happy with it. I appreciate that Camelot might be tired of making the same old game every time and wants to try to mix things up. But I dont think people are wrong to wish the Mario Golf games would just stick to what works. Well, if you want a golf game that more or less does stick to what works, your day has arrived. Easy Come Easy Golf isnt precisely the same thing as Hot Shots Golf. It has some grindy cruft as a result of its origins as a mobile subscription-based game. It has a couple of minor gimmicks to differentiate itself. But the general structure and core mechanics are going to be very, very familiar to fans of Hot Shots Golf, and thats a good thing.

The main gimmick in Easy Come Easy Golf is that you bring a team of golfers with you to each nine-hole course, each one tackling a single hole. Each named golfer has their own stats and specialties, so theres an element of strategy in choosing which one to deploy where. Said named golfers will also level up as you use them, increasing their stats. You start off with just four named golfers, filling out the rest of your team with no-names who wont level up at all.

As you play, youll unlock additional characters to fill out your roster. Characters arent the only things to unlock, either. Because this version of the game includes all of the updates that have been delivered to the Apple Arcade game, there is a ton of content in here. But you are going to have to grind it out, so be prepared for that. That said, grinding in this context just means playing more rounds of golf, and I have to believe thats what you got this game for anyway. Perhaps importantly, none of the grinding is necessary. The game is happy enough to largely leave the matter of challenge in single-player to the player versus the course rather than versus the CPU opponents. You can also enjoy multiplayer via local or online, allowing up to four players to head off to the links together and see who is the best, or luckiest.

If youre satisfied with Clap Hanz as a subscription game on Apple Arcade, you dont need to worry too much about Easy Come Easy Golf. Its basically the same game. But if you want the game in a more permanent form, or youre a Switch-only golfing fan who wants something a little light without the goofy chaos of modern Mario Golf, youll want to pick this game up. Its well-made, content-rich, and enjoyable in a comfort food kind of way.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

You might remember this visual novel from when it popped up on iOS several years ago, or perhaps from its PlayStation Vita or Steam incarnations. You play as a woman with an unusual case of amnesia who ends up getting tied up with some very unique men. There are multiple paths to play, each with multiple endings, and one additional path leading to the true ending once youve finished them all. Its a very substantial story, so you get a lot for your money. There arent any major additions to this Nintendo Switch version, so if youve played it before elsewhere you wont find anything new here.

Later x Crowd, on the other hand, may well be new to most of you. This is a fandisk companion to the main game, offering up two games we havent seen outside of Japan before. Amnesia: Later is, as you might guess, set after the events of the main story. You can see some of the potential future outcomes, which is always fun. Amnesia: Crowd has a what-if story called Suspense, plus a bunch of minigames and card games to play. I think Mikhail is going to have reviews of both of these for us sometime in the next week or so.

This is a fast-paced sci-fi JRPG-style game, and its a rather good one. You play as a vigilante hacker named Noa who is caught up in all kinds of trouble after her estranged father is kidnapped by members of a mega-corporation. Battles are turn-based, and although Noa is your only party member, you can swap out your hardware mid-battle to change her abilities as needed. Its relatively brief as games in this genre go, wrapping up its story in about a dozen hours, but Im totally okay with a game that opts to trim all of its fat and get to the point, which Jack Move very much does.

Not much in the outbox, but you should check it anyway. One never knows what they will find.

Now if youll excuse me, I have to wrap up my Tokyo Game Show 2022 writings. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
