Crashlands
SCORE: 68
I was minding my own business trying not to get sucked into the
vortex of anyone else's problems when I was asked if I wanted to play
Crashlands on the Nintendo Switch. This downloadable only video game was
provided to Family Friendly Gaming. The story starts out in space with
some creature and his robot helper. This giant floating head attacks the
ship and crashes it.
Yes I know getting crashed on a planet is pretty cliched in
entertainment. I am sure you can think of plenty of games, TV shows, and
movies that have had that premise. What do the two characters do? They
make attempts at humor. Some of it may offend you. There is some
language that some of our readers may be bothered by. Crashlands is
rated thirteen and older only.
When we get on the planet we start to collect resources, and craft
things. Then we get recipes to build bigger and better things. These
allow us the ability to protect our base, fight monsters, tame monsters,
and more. Crashlands has a very good tutorial that explains how to do
things. I was able to follow along like a karaoke song. There were a few
points of confusion here and there.
A second family member can play the robot helper Juicebox if you so
desire. Crashlands is also an app on iOS and Android. The port of
Crashlands over to the Nintendo Switch is a good one. My main problem
with Crashlands is I have done many of these things before in plenty of
other games. The indie graphics looks decent. The music is pretty cool
in Crashlands.
The violence and blood in Crashlands is pretty tame compared to plenty
of other thirteen and older video games. It is present as well as the
previously mentioned content. Crashlands is a 118 meg download. So you
will not need to clear a lot of space to purchase and download
Crashlands. I hope this indie game gets the physical copy treatment at
some point in the future. There we go - making all these companies more
money with our ideas and they will never fairly compensate us for it.
