KAMEN RIDER: Climax Scramble Zi-O Switch NSP Free Download Honestly, one of the joys of owning the console is its lack of regional lockout, meaning you can get both digital and physical releases from around the world onto your Switch. Though in the case of digital games its a little trickier! That multiregion capability though means it’s easier than ever to play games based on your particular niche. Speaking of which… Years ago I got my first taste of a Kamen Rider game when I played Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight on the Nintendo Wii. Back then I was sadly disappointed by a game whose franchise.

I loved but in this particular case, a title that looked like it had been rushed into production and, at least visually, felt unfinished. Though to be fair it WAS the finished game it’s just that it, like a lot of budget titles (think the Japanese Simple2000 series) was made on the cheap – originally as Kamen Rider: Climax Heroes on the PS2, then ported to the Wii and skinned with new artwork to tie-in with the US-made Dragon Knight show – ultimately I’m guessing the license probably costing more than the development of the game!

About Game

The game itself is a 3D arena battler – much like Pokken Tournament on the Switch – in which you fight a myriad of Kamen Riders in both multiplayer and single-player. Unfortunately single player mode restricts you to playing through the game as Kamen Rider Zi-O, though you can replay levels with any riders you unlock by winning battles. Thankfully you don’t need to learn Japanese to play this one – English is an option straight out of the box, moreso if you import the Korean version rather than the official Japanese release.SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy Switch NSP

as that has even more in-game English language translation! What also helps with the language barrier is the play styles – you can set the game to have a simple button control (essentially easier button presses lead to bigger and better combos) or normal control where you,like many other fighting games, learn button combos and movesets – something which can be trickier thanks to this being an import title; it’s not like you can read how each combo works!

Graphically

Graphically nothing much has changed since the early days of the Climax Heroes line, of which Kamen Rider: Climax Scramble is the latest, seventh entry. The graphics, whilst presenting the variety of Riders in fantastic fashion, really capturing the tokusatsu designs prefectly, are still somewhat sparse. There’s not much detail to the arenas unfortunately, something which shows in overall view – for yes, SNK vs Capcom Match of the Millenium Switch NSP

you can view the overall arena as you fight or set the camera to traditional third-person view: in which case the lack of arena detail doesn’t really matter, as you’ll see more of your opponent and/or their combat moves than the play area. Available on import, Kamen Rider: Climax Scramble is a fantastic addition to not only the long-running Kamen Rider series but also the Nintendo Switch’s growing beat ’em-up library. If you like either it’s definitely worth your while giving this a go.

Gameplay

This is a Japan and Southeast Asia exclusive release. It supports English straight away although the popular import sites fail to point out that the Japanese version supports English. Anywho, it’s an arena fighter, like ARMS or My Hero One’s Justice. Built on the Unity engine, it isn’t a terrible looking game. However, the gameplay is…serviceable. Great as far as local multiplayer games go, but certainly not in consideration for EVO. I powered through the story mode in five hours. I didn’t pay any attention to the actual story since this is my first experience with the Kamen Rider series. SnowRunner Switch NSP

It’s your usual tale about high school students turned into super heroes. And some evil force is turning the heroes against each other, hence the fighting. The gameplay feels like a less-cool, less-enjoyable version of Power Stone. I’d give it a 6/10. If you’re a collector, grab a copy, I don’t believe this game will leave Japan. If you’re an arena-fighter fan, skip it. As I said previously, go play ARMS or My Hero One’s Justice rather than this.
