Hive Jump Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl There is something about roguelike games that works on Nintendo Switch. The ”one more try” format is perfectly suited for a handheld and makes coming back for a second venture an utter joy. On the flipside, it has become increasing harder for the genre to impress me. Case in point, Hive Jump just barely slips through the cracks for me. The game’s shooting and exploring may find an audience somewhere, but they left me without anything to hold on to. The big problem is that it didn’t do enough to create some outstanding moments. Hive Jump begins with the set-up, which is solely there to provide context for what you’re doing. The human race is fighting evil aliens, and you’re there to be a hero of some sort. You and a team of space marines, known as the J.U.M.P. Corps, rush into the action to secure a variety of areas. Hive Jump’s campaign sees you blowing up enemies, collecting the game’s currency (goo), and building bases to brighten up the outlook. That sounds fun, and initially it is, but sadly the bosses become the sole highlights when everything is said and done. The run ‘n’ gun and roguelike portions are the heart and soul of the adventure. You and up to three friends will enter various alien hives to destroy them from the inside. The main objective is to shoot anything that moves, collect all the goo, and reach the next floor of the randomly- generated level. If you are able to get out, you can carry on to the next challenge with everything that you managed to collect. Hive Jump is about knowing when is the best time to leave and live another day.Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

The action is solid in its base principles, but it isn’t hard to see the cracks develop over time. The main issue is that so much of what you see and do is the same. I don’t mean repetition in gameplay, as that is to be expected, but rather the variables of the title. Unlike other roguelikes that know how to package its attributes soundly, Hive Jump repeats elements way quicker than it should. It isn’t unheard of to see the same environments and enemies pop up a bunch of times back to back. The foundation for a great game is here, but I can’t shake off the feeling that I’ve seen everything fairly early on. In addition, the base-building side of Hive Jump is a complete throwaway. The developers tried to elevate this game about shooting and running by adding strategy elements to the mix. The implementation is such a waste as you really spend little time considering your options. You will use your collected goo on a series of nodes, fortify your bases, and then carry on with whatever mission comes next. I think it is good to try new things for the sake of being different, but without any really meaning, you start to ponder why the concept was added in the first place. Beyond the campaign, there are some others modes to lengthen your overall play time. The Arcade Mode is a simple pick-up-and-play experience without the strategy or other progression elements. While the main problems remain, this is how I mostly had fun with others. Challenge Mode is a fine addition too, offering a variety of missions with strict objectives and restrictions. Overall, the presentation is just fine. Hive Jump runs very soundly on Nintendo Switch, no matter how many players join in on the fun. The 2D sprites pop off the screen with bright colors and sharp design choices.

That being said, the animations were very stiff and not in line with the moves the space marines could perform. The soundtrack is a variety of chiptune tracks that fit well with the game’s overall theme, but I can’t really say that I remember any tunes off the top of my head. The music is good, but nothing more than that I’m afraid. Hive Jump is an okay-ish roguelike with interesting run ‘n’ gun segments to back it up. Where the game really falls short is in how it packages its content. The main campaign repeats environments and enemies way too much for its own good, leaving a sour taste. The levels are too alike and the strategy elements between the stages aren’t all that great. The extra modes can be decently fun, though they won’t last for nearly as long. Overall, I really wanted to like Hive Jump a lot more, but as things progressed I became less of a fan. Often times when I’m reviewing a game with a retro style, you will often see me comment that the game has a retro look with a modern feel or some other relevant kind of metaphor. Not this time though. Hive Jump is a purebred retro game plain and simple. It would have fit perfectly on the Super Nintendo back in the day. This isn’t a criticism though, I could name a good amount of Super Nintendo games that I could plug in right now and play all day long. Hive Jump perfectly captures the feel and style of games from that era. Even the way you type in your profile name is old school, scrolling through letters by pushing up or down. Though this led me to accidentally having a lower case g in my profile name…it bugged me the entire time I played… Hive Jump is a side-scrolling shooter reminiscent of games like Contra. Easy to pick up, but very challenging to play. The concept is simple, navigate through procedurally generated levels, shoot bugs and battle bosses.Ranch Simulator

You can run, jump and boost into the air with a jump jet. You can fire your gun in a 360-degree arc and you have a limited amount of grenades. The devil, however, is in the details. To start with, you have multiple modes of play. In the beginning, you are thrust into a very quick but comprehensive tutorial (my favorite kind) and from there you can choose between Campaign, Arcade, and Challenges. Challenge mode gives you a level with a set of modifiers and tasks you with completing it. One such challenge, for example, is beating a level with only one life (Good luck with that). Arcade lets you pick a difficulty setting and just jump in easy peasy. The campaign has a bit of story with an overarching strategical layer to add some method to the madness. The story is mostly just an excuse to shoot stuff, but I think it takes at least a little inspiration from Star Ship Troopers. The campaign takes place in two phases. First, you have a strategy layer similar akin to X-COM. The Jumpers have bases, and the Ordovician’s have hives. You can spend goo (a resource you collect in each level) to scan a hive and see how many layers deep the cave is and its strength. You can also use it to reinforce your own bases, to bomb a hive reducing its strength and a couple other of nifty choices. The strategy layer isn’t deep at all, but its an interesting feature and something to help balance out your spending your goo between the map and your gear. You take a turn and then so do the Ordovician’s. When you beat a hive it becomes a base, and if the bugs take over a base, it becomes a hive. When you are ready to jump a hive, you get a chance to customize your soldier’s colors, insignia, and skins that are all unlockable by playing. After that, you customize your loadout.

Procedural Levels.

You also use the goo I mentioned before to buy and upgrade new weapons and gear. Every weapon, grenade, and gadget has a distinct feel and there is a good variety of them. You have standard machine guns and rockets, healing grenades, turrets, teleporters and more. You can only take one of each with you at a time though. One weapon, grenade type, and gadget. I found most of the weapons and gadgets to be pretty well balanced, some of them had more obvious advantages in co-op like the healing grenade. But I want to note that certain weapons like the cryo beam have a sound effect that is absolutely agitating to my ears. It almost sounds like a computer error grinding super fast. It bugged the heck out of me. On that note, the game is playable in up to four players local co-op. I can’t recommend this enough, the game is way more fun with friends and some of the mechanics work better in a team. Once in the hive, you have to traverse a number of procedurally generated caves while avoiding hazards, killing bugs and collecting goo. Each time you move to a new layer, you get a chance to change up your gear. Each cave also has a number of challenge rooms. These rooms are not procedurally generated but are handcrafted platforming challenges. If you die you are sent back to the same layer you were on and you cant attempt the room again in the same run. If you can navigate the platforming challenge successfully, you get a chest that usually gives you a relic. Relics grant boons such as reducing the rate at which your gun overheats, or makes you more resistant to a type of damage.Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands

The boon lasts the entirety of the same run. Seeing as some caves can run as deep as 12 individual layers, they are quite handy. Sometimes you come across people in these rooms to rescue. They give a small quip of dialogue and teleport out. Most of them are lines about the hive, but occasionally one will be pretty fun and silly. Those darn bugs, they must have sucked his brains out. Hive Jump has a unique death mechanic. You carry a transponder on your back when you die, you drop it and can respawn in a few seconds. As long as you keep the transponder alive you have an infinite amount of lives. Don’t get the wrong idea though, bugs will attack the backpack when it’s not being carried by a player, and dropping it in a lava pool will end your run very quickly. Hive Jump is a tough game. So come on you apes, you wanna live forever? In single player, you briefly control the transponder when you die, moving it around to try and avoid danger. In multiplayer it just drops to the ground and it’s up to your teammates to pick it up and keep it safe. I really like this mechanic, you are expected to die a lot and what matters is keeping the transponder alive. Sometimes the best thing to do is grab the transponder and bug out until your teammates respawn. As far as the lore is concerned you are spawning back in as a different jumper. Each one has a name and they are often times hilarious. My partner and I constantly got a kick out seeing the names and trying to stay alive as our favorites. Such as Captain Obvious. There are four types of cave biomes and each one has their own environmental hazards. The frozen cave has ice slicks and stalactites that fall from the ceiling. A hot cave has those dreaded lava pools that love to destroy your transponder. I was somewhat disappointed with the variety of enemies.

Strategic Campaigns.

You have a couple basic types and each biome has a specialized one and their own boss. But really there aren’t that many. The games biggest problem is you will more or less be playing the same thing at hour ten as hour one. The enemies themselves consist of varying types of bugs, but you cant step on these ones. The smallest hive is three layers deep, that’s three entire stages. The biggest ones are twelve. When you combine the length of each mission with the strategic layer, things can become very repetitive. While I enjoy the challenge a lot and I applaud Graphic Lab for being willing to make a game as difficult as Hive Jump. The roguelike nature really conflicts with the rest of the game. If you die and lose your transponder, that run is over, the hive gets stronger and then the bugs attack your bases. If they succeed and spread you have another hive to clear before moving on. Each Hive run feels pretty much the same due to the lack of enemy variety and unlike other roguelikes, you’re somewhat limited in your power progression. Once you find a favorite gun and upgrade it. Your power peaks and your progression is limited only by your own skill. The loop can wear pretty thin after that. The boss battles are fantastic, but you will be repeating those often as well. If you really get into and enjoy the core gameplay, this won’t bug you as much. But the potential for battle fatigue is definitely there given how long each hive run actually is. One small thing I want to note is the codex. The codex is a database you can read about all the weapons, enemies and relics you find. Ever since playing X-Com and reading all the research topics I have been a fan of reading similar things in other games.

The codex is a small thing that won’t matter to many, but its a feature I really enjoy and appreciate it, so I had to give it a shout out. I’m doing my part! Its fast-paced, alien-squashing gameplay provides for a fun, yet challenging, experience when playing solo, but fits best when diving deep with friends. Set in the 24th century, Hive Jump places the player in the midst of an outnumbered war between humans and a hostile alien race. With humanity’s backs against the wall, their only hope comes from the J.U.M.P. Corps. Assuming control of JUMPERS, players blast past hordes and waves of aliens, as you delve deeper into the depths of the enemy hive to defeat what lurks below. The campaign houses much of the meat that makes up the single player content. Including real-time strategy (RTS) elements to the campaign’s gameplay fits the narrative Hive Jump aims for in being a melting pot of experiences. The results of your assault on hives directly impacts the overall war raging between humanity and the alien race. Not overstaying its welcome, the RTS elements aren’t overbearing and are light enough to not scare away non-fans of the playstyle. At times, they do become a bit distracting to the overall pull of the game, but the added layer of gameplay is welcomed. Outside of the various campaigns available, Hive Jump offers numerous other modes to keep players engaged with the content provided. Arcade mode offers the classic high score chasing experience, testing players with how far they can go and how long they can last. Challenge modes are also available including Clean Run, Speed Run, Hardcore, and Endless to challenge players in all situations possible.

Hive Jump also sports Leaderboards which track all scores available on your specific platform (Xbox One in this case), giving players an opportunity to set goals on high scores and bragging rights. The biggest pull within the gameplay of Hive Jump though is the roguelike approach it takes when descending into the depths of a hive. Think of it as the love child of Cuphead and Dead Cells, as you will die a lot but with each run, you gain more knowledge on how to address certain obstacles. With the incorporation of RTS elements into the campaign and extending the overall play session, it helps alleviate some fear of losing all progress at death. Yet, the difficulty spikes can be quite aggressive from the beginning when tackling jumps solo. At the game’s core, it is meant to be experienced in a multiplayer setting, and it is here, with the frantic, and at times overwhelming, nature where Hive Jump thrives when played in a group setting. Being able to play both online or via LAN, Hive Jump offers fun for any group setting. Online matchmaking was an excellent decision to include, considering the reach the game has. Players can easily find games matched for them or via a lobby search. In terms of aesthetic, Hive Jump successfully pulls off the feeling of a deep space shooter in a 2D realm. With the incorporation of Sprite Lamp to include dynamic lighting, the 32-bit art style pops with rich and vibrant colors, giving the procedurally generated catacombs a beautiful yet ominous depiction of the deep tunnels. Reeking of Super Metroid vibes, the sprawling cavernous landscape becomes one of my favorite aspects of Graphite Lab’s first project as a team. Hobo Tough Life
