WAIFU IMPACT Switch NSP Free Download Romslab When something becomes popular enough, it is bound to attract imitators. Sometimes those imitators will smash as many different genres together to try to capitalise on multiple other games’ popularity. In the case of Waifu Impact, the developers took the principles that have made Fortnite a bewildering success and combined them with a healthy dose of fan service to attract players, plus a lick of Genshin Impact-style presentation. There’s nothing wrong with taking what has been popular in the past and serving it up in a new way; players sometimes need a little familiarity to help them settle into a new game. However, a high level of polish is required, and with Waifu Impact that polish just isn’t there. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

Even worse than awkward and clunky gameplay, it simply isn’t fun. Waifu Impact sees players dropped onto glorious ‘Waifu Island’, a place visited nightly in the dreams of many; a tropical paradise hosting cute girls running around shooting each other with water guns. It is the basic premise that we saw in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, but with stripped-back features. Instead of different teams vying for control of the arena, it is a free-for-all against the AI-controlled enemies who all look and play the exact same. Instead of the barely contained chaos, with action coming at you from every angle — the things that make other arena shooters fun to play — this feels like a slog. The Joy-Con doesn’t naturally lend itself to precision shooting.

Character

So each blast from your water gun takes a painful amount of time to line up.  Even more so when you are running around avoiding the shockingly accurate AI enemies. Every character feels like they are moving through a vat of pudding, slowly trudging around to find the best angle to attack. This is clearly a game that was designed for a mouse and keyboard and hasn’t made the transition to controllers well. The only saving grace enemy hitboxes so ludicrously big that accuracy isn’t really necessary to survive. There are a total of eight different characters to choose from, each wielding a different type of a water gun. Some have higher fire rates or deal more damage. There is some good variety here and players will find one character that fits their play style. Strange Brigade Switch NSP

However, all of them have the same sluggish movement speed that makes travelling around and exploring the island dull. Characters themselves can’t be upgraded, but each kill unlocks new art of the girls, giving players a reason to play with every character. For a game designed to be titillating, these images are pretty tame, offering a simple shot of the girl in a bikini once they get 50 kills (the ‘Nudity Mode’ from the Steam version seems to have been excised completely on Switch, unsurprisingly). The only other collectables in the game are the 25 stars that litter the island. For every five of these that the player finds, a new character is unlocked.

Challenges

Two extra characters can be unlocked by completing late-game challenges, but just getting the 25 stars is more of a chore than anything. Exploring the island is tedious, with platforming sections that feel clunky and untested. Every jump feels like a challenge, but not in the way that the developers intended, to say nothing of the frame rate issues we ran into on our playthrough. Waifu Impact makes the mistake of assuming that the promise of fan service is enough to carry a game through its runtime, however short. This game takes the Fortnite formula, dips the character controls in digital treacle, strips it of the multiplayer aspect that makes that game fun, and doesn’t add anything worthwhile. It feels more like a proof of concept, with no story or characterisation to speak of.

JanduSoft and Mitsuki Game Studio have announced that their third-person single-player shooter, Waifu Impact, will release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on April 28, 2022, for .99/4.99€. Throughout this title that is not related to Genshin Impact in any way, players find themselves at the illustrious Waifu Island. Six girls are here that players can grow closer with, and heightening their affinity leads to unlockables from the Gallery menu. Stars must be found throughout the island, which are stated to unlock the girls themselves. We don’t really know whether they are being held captive by the objects or such.

It is worth reiterating that this is a single-player experience with no multiplayer functionality mentioned. Further, there are no screenshots, though a launch trailer is viewable below via the official JanduSoft Youtube channel. It briefly showcases the setting and the gameplay premise: Hopefully, unaware Switch owners don’t see this name and believe it’s Genshin Impact. Still, it wouldn’t surprise me if that mistake is what the team is hoping for to gain more traction. Speaking of Genshin Impact, version update 2.6 was recently released, providing a vast degree of new content. For instance, a new character, new area, and new combat challenges are only some of what players can enjoy. Streets of Rogue Switch NSP
