![]() However, some players will prefer to wait for a discount since you can get the PC version for less.Every year I get super hyped about the Steam summer sale and can’t wait to find out when it’s going to start! It makes it so easy find and buy games I might have overlooked normally, or finally get my hands on games I’d wanted to try for so long but just never got around to buying. Even with the high quantity of puzzle games available, The Swapper manages to provide the player with a fresh experience. The puzzles can be really difficult to solve and the story is a good reason to finish the title. The Swapper is one of the most professionally made indie games available via Wii U eShop and it’s a great addition despite of its price. There are some missing elements as well: you can’t use another controller like the Wii U Pro Controller, the replay value is really limited and when you finish the game, using the continue option is just watching the controls. The presentation for The Swapper is nice, including a nice manual with the basic explanations, a good use of the Gamepad and also Off-TV play. There’s also small replay value: once you end the game you will have an option that gives you access to two different endings, since the game auto-saves pretty often, you will need to play again in order to watch the other ending. The soundtrack offers tracks being a mix between relaxing melodies and audio backgrounds with a good use of the piano, and also, great voice acting. ![]() Something I like a lot is how well done the work is in the audiovisual element of the game: the graphics are great, with an excellent use of lighting and some additional effects you will notice during the story. It works fine but it’s more comfortable using just the buttons in my opinion. The controls are well done, and meanwhile it can only be played using the Wii U Gamepad, you also have the option of using buttons alone or, if you need to be more precise, using the tactile screen in companion with the buttons. The duration is another story though, in my case I needed a little more than three hours to reach the end (my fault, I played the PC version a little), but an average duration can be around four to six hours depending on the player’s experience and skills. The puzzles can be mind-breaking sometimes where some of them can have different ways to be solved (some of them are harder while some can be easier). If you’re not playing a puzzle, you are exploring in order to progress: this is done with the basic rules of a platformer game, however, there are some variables: you can find a gravity zero zone when you need to impulse yourself with the swap device, or clone yourself when you’re falling in order not to die when you land. If you touch one of the clones or if one of them dies, you will recover a clone spot allowing you to create another, however, they are some limitations: clones can’t be created inside blue lights, and red lights will block your swapping ability. ![]() That requires you to be careful since falling from a high altitude will kill you (or your clones) and meanwhile you don’t die, it doesn’t matter what happens to the others. ![]() You are capable of creating up to four clones at the same time and you create each one at the same time. The Swapper is a platform-puzzle game where you need to use an experimental device allowing you to create clones and also, swap your entire consciousness into the cloned body… It’s quite a dark story if you think about it. ![]()
