Battle Chasers: Nightwar’s ability to make the simple feel grand, however, is what gives it an exotic and unexpected charm – a comic book magic that’s found in everything from presentation to gameplay. After all, the game’s bulky characters, comprehensive lore, and steampunk-meets-fantasy setting all seem like the perfect fit for an action-based hack ‘n’ slasher. Originally released late last year for other platforms, it’s found the perfect home on Nintendo’s hybrid console.Īt first, you might be left wondering why Battle Chasers: Nightwar took the turn-based route. Based on Joe Madureira’s ’90s comic of the same name, the game comfortably mixes in what worked for old-school games in the genre, still introducing enough fresh spins to subtly shake up the formula. Battle Chasers: Nightwar has finally arrived to change all that. The Switch eShop isn’t left wanting for classic-style turn-based RPGs, but until now, most released on the platform have felt somewhat like a half measure.
