Octogeddon Switch NSP Free Download When you’re checking out new indie games you can never be sure what you’ll run into next. Certainly a game with an easily-angered octopus who is determined to destroy anyone or anything they’re insulted by while grafting all manner of creatures onto their tentacles isn’t something you run into every day. That’s precisely the core of Octogeddon though, and while you might assume this is a mobile port of some kind it actually isn’t, and even though its controls and core play may be simple the game has a crafty element of progression and sustained challenge that make it interesting.

Pretty much all you need to know is that you’re an angry cephalopod who starts out with a mere two plain tentacles but who progressively is able to add more and customize them as well. You’ll be attacked from all sides by all manner of weapons and craft ranging from conventional to sometimes silly, and to defend yourself the controls simply consist of you being able to rotate left and right with either the joystick or shoulder buttons. Staying alive is merely a matter of lining up with something attacking you and then letting your tentacle or whatever may be on the end of it deal with them.

Audio & Visual

The audio in Octogeddon is pretty good with a range of different songs that will keep you engaged in this rotating shooter. Music during the main campaign helps to maintain your focus with a lot of rock-roll tracks being played. There’s even a track which reminded me of an old Godzilla movie I watched recently. the game’s visuals are cartoony and whimsical, nothing impressive but they work well for the game, and the game’s odd sense of humor matches the strange gameplay pretty well.

I mean If you’re going to destroy everything in sight you need a decent soundtrack, thankfully Octogeddon has it. The sound effects of explosions and roaring destruction all sound punchy, which makes destroying stuff more satisfying.The animations are great in Octogeddon. There are a lot of similarities to Plants vs Zombies as guys who created that created this too, and I can see that in some of the weapon designs and overall presentation which I like. The backgrounds and the general art direction is well done, making Octogeddon a delightful, quirky title to see in motion.

Gameplay & Replayability

Octogeddon on the Nintendo Switch is a truly unique little title, and it took me by surprise once I started playing it.This isn’t your typical shooter, though. Instead of moving your killer octopus around the screen and firing, you rotate him with the left analogue stick as he fires his weapons automatically while enemies approach from all sides. It’s your job to destroy them all by aiming any one of your tentacles at the approaching enemies to destroy them. Of course, when you start, you will have to make do with your short-ish tentacles.

Once an appendage touches the enemy, they will take damage and explode. You’ll have to rotate your octopus around and use his limbs to destroy all targets.In the beginning, the waves of enemies are few, but as you progress through each area, more enemy varieties will appear including mid-level bosses and end level bosses, spicing up each encounter. Keeping you on your toes….wait do octopus have toes? Your positioning has to be perfect for each enemy and boss, and sometimes that can be pretty challenging. However, challenge is a good thing in my eyes. It adds to the fun of the game, as well as giving it more life.

Octogeddon- weapons!

So, you want to get your own back. Well, you’re in for quite ride as we have multiple weapon attachments for air, land and sea!You’re not going to be stuck with your standard appendage for too long. As you progress through the levels, you will encounter DNA strains that are located in either buildings or submarines. Collecting these will unlock new weapons that come in the form of different animal heads that can be attached to your tentacles during brief rest periods. Each one of the 30+ weapons has its own unique attack.For example, the ice shooting penguin head can freeze enemies, making them slow down, giving you the chance to attack them. This is an excellent weapon to have when large groups are trying to surround you.Cyber Shadow Switch NSP

however, this weapon causes no damage.Another example is the chicken head, which fires exploding eggs. This is another great weapon to destroy multiple enemies at once but be aware, not all weapons attack at the same rate. Some are slower while others are quicker and result in more damage. Each one of these abominations is unique and add some creative ways to destroy your enemies.My favourites were the quick firing venom shooting snakes, the frog who can latch on to the single enemy and by rotating your octopus you can swing enemy around hitting other units causing them damage.
