Okay, so here’s the deal with this TRON: Catalyst game thing… or whatever you wanna call it. I stumbled across this because, well, TRON’s always been kinda cool, right? Flynn might still be kicking around somewhere, but we’re on standby until October to find out. Yeah, patience isn’t my strong suit either.
But anyway, there’s this company — Big Fan or something (it sounds enthusiastic) — working with Bithell Games, and guess what? They’ve done gone and dropped TRON: Catalyst right onto the Nintendo Switch. Yep, just like that.
So, picture this: You’re in this decaying digital… um, universe. Think TRON: Legacy vibes. They’ve slapped together some time-looping action (that feels kinda like cheating death, maybe?), tossed in combat that’s supposed to be “dynamic” (whatever that means), and then boom — storyline.
So there’s this character, Exo. Just a regular courier minding her business until a package goes off and ka-pow, she’s got powers. Love when the mundane meets chaos, don’t you? Then the Arq Grid’s peacekeepers are after her. I guess it’s a thing now, running and solving mysteries with shiny powers. Exo’s got her work cut out for her on this crazy grid.
Oh, let’s talk features without getting lost. There’s the time-loop antics — like rewinding mistakes with something called Glitch? Jazz for the indecisive, I suppose. Plus, battling a whole lotta baddies and finding secrets (because what’s a game without secrets, right?). You even get to zoom around on a Light Cycle. If that’s not rad, I don’t know what is.
Now, beyond whacking digital dudes, you’re dealing with Conn. Sounds ominous enough, given he’s an agent from Core trying to catch you. Personally, I’d need a map for the loop breaking aspect. Maps are underrated.
And you know what? Rain-slicked streets inside a computer world? Someone explain how that logically works. But hey, it’s all digital, so maybe puddles are just data blobs. Sheesh.
Really, you can jump into this whole escapade from the Nintendo eShop for a cool $29.99. More info? Roll on over to bigfangames.com.
If you’re curious, just take the plunge and navigate Exo’s wild world. Here’s hoping this isn’t just another glitch in the system… or is it?
