Misc. A Tiny Tale Switch NSP Free Download Romslab You play as Buddy, who sets off on an adventure with his friend Bag Boy (another little robot) to investigate an explosion that sent Golden Cogs flying all over their world. Along the way you’ll make friends, solve problems, and do a whole lot of cleaning. The game is broken up into distinct levels that fuse Chibi-Robo’s cleaning gameplay with that of a traditional 3D platformer/collectathon. Progression is built on collecting Golden Cogs to unlock a door that leads to the next stage. Within each stage there are ten Golden Cogs to find and plenty of trash to clean up.

While cleaning trash doesn’t directly get you Golden Cogs, the trash you collect can be traded in for currency that may be required to purchase quest items. You also have a quest log to keep track of the needs of the various characters inhabiting each stage. While you don’t need to do everything before you move on to the next level, I found myself compelled to find and do everything I could. I ultimately wound up somewhat unintentionally 100%ing the game simply because I was having a good time. I should also note (since it’s somewhat expected given the comparisons to Chibi-Robo).

Rains golden cogs and trash from the sky, the duo must work together to restore each village and uncover the secret behind the blast.

That Misc doesn’t have any sort of time limit mechanic, so you’re free to leisurely explore each area. Levels are varied, and all have some narrative hook or gameplay mechanic that makes them unique. For example, one level had a strong focus on gardening and required things such as finding seeds to plant and cutting down weeds. Now and then a couple stages seemed a bit too large for their own good, but for the most part each one was excellently constructed. Each stage also has a hidden platforming challenge. These are separated from the main stage and present the hardest gameplay challenges Misc has to offer. Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection Switch NSP

They do, however, also draw out one of my few complaints, which is the handling of Buddy’s jumps. His jump itself is extremely floaty making it hard to get used to. But the real issue is in telling where you’re going to land. When you jump a simple circular shadow is projected on the ground below you, but because Buddy emits a bit of light, the shadow fades out as you approach a surface. This makes lining up precise landings in some of the later challenges more awkward than likely intended. As Misc. A Tiny Tale is a pretty wholesome game; there are no fail states.

Scrub mess, collect trash, and lend a helping hand as you explore a familiar world from a tiny perspective.

It’s very family-friendly, even the combat against the “menacing” Windups is without actual peril. Get hit by an enemy? You’re simply knocked back slightly. Spotted by a guard? Sent all the way back, like, three metres. That’s not to say that the game is easy; you will have to work for your cogs as they’re not all just lying around the place. Perhaps you need to help a duck fly, or earn enough bolts to buy a battery. Everyone wants you to help them out! Oh, and everyone is a robot, because every living thing on the planet was wiped out in an apocalypse. Arcade Archives VS. MAH-JONG Switch NSP

Yes, I said that this is a family game. It’s not like the apocalypse is spelt out; a lot of it is inferred. Misc. also has a strong environmentalist message, since one of the tasks in every level is to clear up rubbish (which you can exchange for cash) and you obtain a brush for scrubbing things up. Things might be tiny, but they can be clean too, dang it! The controls are responsive and the platforming works nicely. You have a double jump and a propeller to slow your falling, but you can also dive in mid-air to get a little bit more distance. While you are able to run around, it drains a battery (stamina) very quickly.

From UFOs and secret lovers to unlikely heroes and dancing instruments, you’ll discover a world full of quirky characters with stories worth hearing.

Misc was made by a core team of three, winning funding from the Australian government along the way. It was developed for Nintendo Switch (which is the version reviewed here) and PC but, as reported on Nintendo Life last month, Tinyware took a punt on Switch 2’s approach to backwards compatibility, meaning the new console does deliver a significant boost in graphics and performance – but more on that later. The story revolves around an inch-tall robot named Buddy and his friend Bag Boy – a unicycle robot with a paper bag on his head. One day, they hear an explosion in their little garden village.

Then set out on an adventure to find out what it was. As they go, they visit other locales peppered with friendly robo-characters to lend a hand to, run errands for, or trade with. As simple as the story is, it’s nice to go on a quest just because something went bang, not because the world’s ending again – and it doesn’t hold back on throwing in some dramatic moments later on. This is supported well by the music, which has a storybook quality, some eerie moments, and even a few songs for the emotional peaks. Each village area you visit on Buddy’s odyssey has a locked exit gate and a scattering of collectibles. Arcade Archives VS. GRADIUS Switch NSP
