Chex Quest HD Switch NSP Free Download Romslab Chex Quest is one of those games that you kind of just had to “be there” to appreciate it. The original was a pack in with Chex cereal in North America back in 1996 and was more or less a kid-friendly version of Doom. Like many of you, I’m sure, I got the game back in the day and enjoyed it quite a bit. Chex Quest HD is a re-imagining of the original, brought to life via Unreal Engine 4 with modern assets and controls. The game is available right NOW on PC & Mac (for free) and is also out right now on the Nintendo Switch. Today, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about this re-imagined classic on the Nintendo’s platform. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

The world of Chex Quest thrusts players into a galaxy where breakfast cereal and snacks are facing a sinister threat. A cereal eating menace called the Flemoids have taken over the planet Bazoik. As a member of the Chex Mix squad, it’s your job to take out as many as you can and save the other members of the team. Like I said before, this is a complete re-imaging of the original game from yesteryear with modern enhancements in almost every possible way. It’s not going to win any awards for narrative prowess or anything like that, but it’s a fun little story. The controls in Chex Quest HD feel intuitive and on par with most modern first person shooters.

It’s like if the Burger King Kids Club got polymorphed into snacks.

The game uses a dual analog set up and actions are assigned to the face and shoulder buttons. ZR and ZL shoot, R and L cycle through weapons, B jumps and Y is used to interact with panels or open doors. Movement might seem a bit slow on the default settings, but you can easily change these in the options. Overall, things here feel pretty good and you’ll get the hang of the game in no time. Chex Quest HD is a pretty chill game. While there are quite a few different enemy types that you will have to take out along the way, nothing ever feels really hectic. The enemies themselves move pretty slowly, making it pretty easy to take them out even if you are getting swarmed.  MONOPOLY Madness Switch NSP

To help you take on these gooey foes, you are given a handful of weapons to “zorch” them back to their own dimension. These range from the single shot blaster, a “shotgun,” machine gun and even a spoon in place of a knife. Keeping an eye on you ammo is paramount as it can be pretty easy to fire too early and often. Even with that said, ammunition, health pick ups and armor are generously placed around the levels. There are a total of five stages on offer and six playable characters that you can choose from off the bat. The stages themselves are pretty varied and are full of keys to collect and secrets to find. The different characters feel pretty similar, and the biggest changes you might find is simply their appearance in the cutscenes and maybe their jumps.

This dude is ready, no, PUMPED, to disappoint you.

There are some local multiplayer options thrown into the package with Versus and Co-op modes. I didn’t have anyone around to try out the Versus, but I did get to try out the Co-op. Oddly enough, this is essentially a horde mode where you will face off against waves of enemies. This can be done by yourself or with up to three others. It’s not ground breaking or anything, but it does add a bit more to the package and is pretty enjoyable. In terms of visuals, the presentation in Chex Quest HD is quite nice. Character models look and animate smoothly and the environments look pretty decent. For the most part, the game runs pretty smoothly, though there were some times when the game would get a bit choppy. Monopoly Switch NSP

I noticed this in the second and fourth stages and it seemed to be triggered when playing through larger areas of the map. Aside from that, things are fine. The price of nostalgia is a fluctuating factor that always, always seems to be too high. Sometimes we pay in terms of buying our childhood back at an inflated price tag, which we happily do so because we assume we’ll chase the same high as we did when we were younger. After all, anyone else would probably scoff at dropping ten dollars for Animaniacs Happy Meal toys, but I wanted to have the complete set and forgetting Mindy and Buttons is like forgetting the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola (desperation). Sometimes we pay by realizing that nostalgia, like all delicious things, actually ages and tastes horribly if you try to consume it in the same way.

Just peak character design, don’t you know.

Go ahead, go back and watch your favorite show from the 80s and 90s: there’s so much wrong with it nowadays that you’ll shut it off and pray no one saw you attempt to capture your youth alongside the Paw Paw Bears. Sometimes, though, if you’re super lucky, you’ll get to combine those two feelings and invest money into something that then disappoints you in a very special way. That, my dear friends, is how you get Chex Quest HD. Now, as a pure camp piece and a fascinating insight into the evolution of advertising, Chex Quest HD is a home run and a thinkpiece unto itself. Developed in 1996, the original Chex Quest was a full Doom mod that was pressed onto CDs and dropped into boxes of the very unpopular cereal Chex. Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom Switch NSP

Let’s be clear: I frigging love Chex. Not even Chex Mix, I love Chex and I will, unabashedly, eat a whole box of Corn Chex without milk, bowl or dignity. Anyways, Chex Quest (and Chex Quest HD) are both equally insane in storyline: there are a race of aliens known as the Flemoids that want to destroy snacking across the universe, and the only way to stop them is to zap them with a highly modified weapon known as a Zorcher. Originally, we got no real backstory other than what was on the CD sleeve, but we now know the Flemoids are actually from an alternate dimension and need to be sent back, without our tasty snacks. Taking the helm as one of six Chex Mix inspired characters, you need to run the gauntlet of five dangerous worlds, defeat the Flemoids and save snacking once and for all.
