What excites me the most about this new version of the game is, paradoxically enough, the more mundane changes. Speaking of grind, that seems to have been addressed as well. The new level will let you stomp around in one of those Steel Soldier mech-suits and exact revenge on the game for making you grind them for parts in the original release. Grenades have also received an across-the-board buff, which is good as they were a little bit rubbish before. There's also a bunch of new weapons - what looks like ten guns and ten melee weapons - which, due to their modular nature, means a slew of new crafting components to be mashed together into hideous frankenguns.
While not the most thrilling of gimmicks, having four different character sprites in a 4-player game helps somewhat.
The two new characters are a charming duo too - athletic lady Frigg jumps faster than anyone else in the game no matter how heavy her loadout, while worryingly huggable-looking murderbot C-Zar has thrusters that lets him slow his fall. The thrust of the new version is your usual 'NEW CHARACTERS, NEW GUNS, NEW LEVELS' stuff, and I can't fault that. Relaunching early next month with a 'Reloaded Edition' subtitled, it's getting a small expansion's worth of extra content two new playable characters and some surprisingly major quality-of-life improvements, all free. The latest game to undergo a Switch-fueled spit n' polish cycle is Mercenary Kings, the charming-but-flawed platform shooter from Tribute Games. longingly), sometimes we get the benefit of the additional development time. While not all of these trickle back to the PC (I'm looking at you, Cave Story. Even if you don't own one of Nintendo's new hybrid handheld/home consoles, the Switch's very existence has given a few studios a solid excuse to go back and revisit their earlier titles, polishing them up for a re-release on the new platform.
