One of 2020’s best games is Switching it up
I have been singing the praises of13 Sentinels: Aegis Rimsince Ifirst reviewed it last year. Developed by Vanillaware, the game tells acomplicated and enthralling story of high school studentsfrom different timelines as they wage war against kaiju that are attacking the city. With outstanding visuals, superb dialogue, and a time-jumping plot that keeps the twists coming, the game is Vanillaware at its best. Unfortunately, based on the many comments I’ve seen written about this game, a lot of people are still hesitant to give it a go. And I get that. Arguably, the tactical battles between the kids in their mecha and the kaiju aren’t all that engaging, and if you’re not into conversation-heavy, old-school adventure games, you might not like the other half of it either. But I maintain it’s one of the best anime games of the past 10 years, and if the only reason you haven’t given it a go yet is the lack of a13 SentinelsSwitch port, know that you won’t have to wait much longer.
In celebration of the game’s two-year anniversary (from its original Japanese release) Altus announced today that13 Sentinels: Aegis Rimis making the jump to Switch next spring. Finally, you can enjoy yakisoba pan on the go, just as it was meant to be.
