Runbow Deluxe Edition Switch NSP Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Runbow turned out to be something of a cult classic when it launched on Wii U back in 2015. Mixing a whole lot of colour, chaos, party-style fun, a generous amount of solo player content, and even a selection of favourite Nindie characters, the game was adored by those who played it and for good reason – it was brilliant. So is it still worth buying now that it’s made the jump to Switch? Of course, it is. The premise of the game is simple, but it’s also one that’ll have you shouting out a whole manner of profanities that you never knew even existed. Your goal is to simply run across floors and platforms, safely making your way to an endpoint or goal of some sort, but this is made devilishly tricky by the game’s colour system. The background regularly cycles through different colours, and all platforms that match this colour will disappear until it changes again. It’s hard enough landing on every platform as it is, but now you have to keep an eye on the ever-changing scenery and plan your route ahead of time. There are several different modes and ways to play Runbow, including crazy multiplayer options that support up to nine players, but let’s start off with the single-player stuff.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

For a game that, on the surface at least, looks like it’s clearly aimed at the multiplayer party audience, the single-player modes are full of content and are really good fun to boot. The adventure mode is perhaps the best place to start, with a selection of levels available that task you with reaching the goal, defeating a certain number of enemies using basic combat controls, or collecting a number of objects. You’re assessed on your completion times and unlock more levels as you go, aiming to earn the maximum three medals for each stage you attempt. Some levels are tricky, but you should be able to reach the end with persistence and it’s a really enjoyable experience while it lasts. There’s also a Bowhemoth mode – although we’d suggest leaving this until you feel incredibly confident in your Runbow skills. This mode challenges you with multiple rooms of particularly fiddly platforming and colour schemes, and in a terrifying twist, it doesn’t ever let you save your progress; if you need a break or quit out of frustration, you’ll be thrown right back to the start the next time you load it up. It’s not for the faint of heart, but the rewarding feeling of beating it is naturally one of great jubilation and pride. While the gameplay itself is great, it’s actually perhaps the game’s personality that really shines through here.

Everything is presented with an incredibly high level of polish, with sleek menus, a fantastic, scarily catchy soundtrack, and an always-beautiful display across all gameplay modes – and the game even acts like it has a mind of its own. When you inevitably fall to your doom, the quick respawn loading screen will taunt you with messages like, “Imagine winning,” and, “Well that was anti-climactic,” which often had us chuckling away even as we failed. The multiplayer options are split into ‘Run’, ‘Arena’, and ‘King of the Hill’, all offering slight variances on the standard gameplay. Run has you running from a starting point to a goal, Arena encourages players to punch each other around in the hopes of being the last one standing, and King of the Hill makes players fight over one particular spot on the map, aiming to take command there for a set amount of time. In local multiplayer, these modes all support up to eight players, and this extends to nine if you play online. As you can probably imagine, the more players you have, the more hectic things get; having nine of you sprinting around, desperately trying to avoid being punched while monitoring the colours of platforms is arguably even more hectic than a full eight-player game of Super Smash Bros. – and that’s saying something! The multiplayer side to the game is undoubtedly fun, but there are a few things that left us a little underwhelmed at times.NeverAwake Switch XCI

Firstly, there’s no option to add in AI characters, so if you can only gather three people to play that’s all you’ll ever be able to experience without joining unpredictable online players (the online Runbow scene on Wii U often saw players drop out if they weren’t winning). Also, it won’t take long until you find yourself replaying all the same stages, and knowing the exact layout of a run takes something away from the madness. The concept is so simple, anyone could pick it up. Runbow is predictably all about running. It’s not an auto-runner thankfully, as you’ll have full control over your character by way of directional movement, jumping, punching, and if you wish, taunting. Since the latter ability isn’t needed, it’s essentially a two-button game. But there is depth here, as the punch button fractures off into multiple powers, granting players a horizontal dash if done in the air, an upward Street Fighter-esque punch, and a downward butt slam. All of these are functional when it comes to knocking around your foes (more on that later), but they’re also great platforming tools as well. The uppercut in particular is excellently designed, and have saved me from pit deaths on more than one occasion. Every character in the game (of which there are a ton) has the exact same moveset, but it works that way — there are a lot of nuances as it stands, and no one has to learn the ins and outs of different runners.

Said nuance is found mostly in the way that platformers themselves are presented, in a number of different color schemes. A “wave” of color will periodically sweep over the screen, eliminating objects with that same hue. So for instance, there might be a combination of red, yellow, and blue blocks, and in three second intervals, said waves will eliminate each color in succession. So it’s up to players to not only master the moveset, but pay attention and memorize patterns. The best part of Runbow is its variety. There’s a staggering amount of modes available for players of all skill levels, and a few of the meatier ones are satisfying even if you’re going at it solo. One such game type is “Adventure,” which tasks you with defeating an evil monochrome boss who feels left out, amidst all the other colorful world inhabitants. You’ll progress through over 100 levels to complete the story, taking on a number of different objectives within the campaign itself. The bright, vivid color scheme makes things more interesting, as well as appropriate sound effects, I don’t normally talk about game soundtracks as they generally don’t stick with me for very long, but Runbow‘s is one of the best I’ve heard all year. Just give it a listen. Levels can range from boss fights, to enemy skirmishes, to races, to even hunts.Hellsign

Even with no AI option, I had a great time playing through the story with friends and by myself — it’s never boring, and you have the option to go for the best clear times (which in turn can unlock new characters). It’s delightfully old school and frankly, one of the best single player party games I’ve played in quite a while. Of course the party modes are core to the experience, which includes races, arena battles, and King of the Hill modes. The former is more of a traditional platforming experience, with levels that scroll like in Mario games, and plenty of enemies, pitfalls, and hazards to deal with. It’s set at a rapid-fire pace, so if someone dies, they’re out for that level, and they don’t even have to wait long since most stages take 30-45 seconds to complete. It’s fast, it’s fun, and optional power-ups make things even more enjoyable if you have an array of skill levels playing. Arena and King of the Hill are more like a Smash Bros. experience, as all combatants will need to kill enemies by way of punching them into oblivion (or make them fall to their doom). This is where the butt stomp and uppercut shine, as you’ll have a tool for every occasion in combat. All of the aforementioned modes are playable by up to eight people, with almost any combination of controllers (GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remotes, Wii Classic Controller, and Nunchuk). The “Colour Master” mode allows for a ninth player who uses the GamePad to add in hazards themselves, competing against the other team of runners.

It’s not as strong as the other modes, but it’s a nice distraction. Finally, the Bowhemoth mode is the most challenging game type on offer, and will be an exciting prospect for even the most hardened platforming veterans. My first win took me 33 minutes and 73 deaths to complete, and it’s also playable both solo and with friends. You can’t save mid-session, so you’ll have to make do with one full run with as few deaths as you can spare. Online play couldn’t be tested at the time of this writing, but the fact that it’s included in an indie game like this is a godsend. At a first glance, Runbow works in a similar way to many other platformers. You control a coloured character with the left stick or directional buttons, and can jump (and double-jump) with B. Some combat elements are present here too, as you can punch your friends – er… I mean, enemies – using Y. Combined with each directional, you can also perform some special attacks, like an uppercut or a ground punch. It does all that with an enjoyable 2D art style that has its charm. Until now, nothing new under the sun, right? What makes Runbow more unique is its colour-based platform mechanics. While the main ground of each map is painted with a solid black – that represents an immutable platform – the other many smaller platforms scattered all across the map have different colours.

The game’s background is also coloured, but it is constantly changing and cycling through colours that matches those from the platforms. When the background and platform colour is the same, the platform completely disappears, until the next change. Thanks to that, Runbow create a frantic race (or fight) to the victory, as you need to pay attention to the colour background, thinking in advance about the best path to the objective. Undoubtedly, the main meat of Runbow lies in its multiplayer modes. Each match can become a completely chaotic mess – in the good way – as you can choose to play with up to eight players locally, or nine online. They are divided into three different modes, which all uses the colour-based platform mechanics, but with different objectives. Run mode puts everybody in a race to be the first to reach the end of the level. Arena is a kind of battle mode, in which punches and level hazards are used to eliminate all the characters, until you have a single solo survivor. Finally, on King of the Hill, players will fight to control a single point on the map. To increase the mayhem at each match, Runbow allows you to add a series of special power ups, which can be gathered through the map to increase your advantages. Unfortunately, a small drawback of the multiplayer modes is the lack of an option to add AI enemies.
