Zorro The Chronicles Switch NSP Free Download Romslab When Nacon announced they were set to publish a Zorro game, I was stunned. No, it’s not because I’m a die-hard Zorro fan (my parents are, though), I just never thought I’d hear anything about the franchise ever again. I was even more suprised to find out that Zorro The Chronicles is actually based on a recent cartoon series, and that said cartoon series is actually a hit among young kids. I guess I now find out about what kids are watching these days via licensed game announcements. My question was whether or not Zorro The Chronicles would end up being decent or just another mediocre licensed cash grab. It was the former, which might have been the single most shocking news of them all. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

Yes, Zorro The Chronicles is actually a really good stealth game, when you realize its core audience is kids. I’m not saying that kids will put up with poorly designed games, though: this is a stealth game, not unlike older Assassin’s Creed titles, but with a very bearable level of difficulty, being really lenient if you blow your cover during a mission. Baby’s first stealth game, at the end of the day. That’s actually a genius usage of the IP, considering that Zorro was basically Batman before Batman. The dude was an 18th century ninja. Making this a simplified Black Flag with Sniper Elite level design (linear levels with tons of means for you to complete your objectives) was the single best idea they could have had.

Adventure awaits!

Zorro The Chronicles is an exciting and humorous action game that includes combat and exploration scenarios inspired by the TV series. The epic adventure immerses you in the world of the successful animated series Zorro The Chronicles. Protect vulnerable and innocent people from the evil general and his army. Restore justice in 19th century Spanish California. There’s more meat in here than just some simplified stealth mechanics. Zorro The Chronicles also features some basic, but effective combat mechanics borrowed from the Arkham games (yet more proof that Zorro and Batman are basically the same character), a wide array of funny takedown cinematics (all PG, of course), and a skill tree.

Just like the rest of the game, said skill tree is simple enough, but each new move you acquire does make a ton of difference when tackling levels. Dare I say, it even made me want to replay earlier stages just so I could get rid of everyone in sight with ease, and more importantly, with style. That doesn’t mean Zorro The Chronicles is devoid of flaws. It’s a low budget licensed title, so you know there are plenty of them in here. I will commend the developers for coming up with the best title they could with a paultry amount of resources at their disposal, but I cannot ignore the fact the game’s button placement is a bit bizarre (running with X? What is this, old-school GTA?) and the camera controls are wonky at best.

Play as a true hero and fight for justice.

The game is completely devoid of voice acting, and its sound effects are beyond cheap. Furthermore, the visuals, while cute, resembling the cartoon series, do not take advantage of the PlayStation 5’s horsepower at all. It does run at 60fps, sure, but I don’t think there’s any difference between the PS5 and PS4 ports in terms of how they look. I was pleasantly surprised with how competent Zorro The Chronicles ended up being. It uses elements from both old-school Assassin’s Creed and Sniper Elite in an easy and forgiving environment, making this game the perfect gateway title for kids to learn how to deal with a stealth game. I never thought I’d play a Zorro game in 2022, let alone one as good as this one. ACA NEOGEO THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’99 Switch NSP

Goes to show how neat licensed titles can be every now and then, and how far a developer can go with a title in spite of how little of a budget they’re given. It does look like its cartoon counterpart, but it does suffer from that typical “low budget” vibe. Also doesn’t take advantage of the PS5’s horsepower at all, though it does run at 60fps at all times, without ever stumbling. It uses elements present in older Assassin’s Creed and Sniper Elite games, but in a kid-friendly and non-punitive manner. The gameplay itself is shockingly competent, but the game’s button placement and camera leave a lot to be desired. I was pleasantly surprised with how competent this game ended up being. It’s really easy, but that’s fine, given its target demographic. It combines stealth elements from bigger games in order to create a perfect, kid-friendly introduction to the genre.

When it comes to creating games based on kids’ properties, timing is everything. Games based on films, TV shows, or books for an older audience can survive being late in the name of quality, but unless the kids’ property is insanely popular, you need to be an extraordinary title to strike after the subject is long out of circulation. Zorro: The Chronicles may have the luxury of being on Netflix, where shows can have a longer than expected shelf life, but we are talking about a cartoon that ended its run in 2016. Having a related game come out now is an odd decision, especially when the result is lacking in a few areas. After five years getting a higher education in Spain, Don Diego de la Vega has returned home to California. ACA NEOGEO ZED BLADE Switch

Unfortunately, he has returned to a home where the local townspeople and indigenous people alike are being mistreated by the army captain, Monasterio. Unable to oppose the captain directly, Don Diego dons the persona of Zorro, a masked swordsman who protects the people of Los Angeles from oppression. Unlike a number of licensed games out there, this one comes with the assumption that you know everything there is to know about the series. The opening cinematic is essentially the opening beats to the show’s trailer, but it’s done with no acknowledgement of who the characters are. The missions only contain brief text blurbs of what’s going on, and the pre- and post-mission cinematics show you arriving at the scene or have the captain lamenting that you wrought havoc on his troops.
