If you have a PC capable of running it, we strongly recommend you jump into Ion Lands' adventure on that platform as what awaits you there is a wonderfully evocative slice of cyberpunk fantasy that, through the strength of its intricately crafted setting, draws you thoroughly into its tale. Cloudpunk on Switch is a far cry from the delightful original version we fell in love with back in April of this year. It's not quite so bad in docked mode but this is also where the graphical layers that have been stripped away in order to get the game up and running - the rough edges, pixellation and empty grey fog that replace so much of the once wondrous backdrop here - are laid entirely bare. The UI, especially in handheld mode, is a rather blurred experience with points on the map and the numeric indicators that show how far it is to your next objective now almost entirely unreadable. This is a city we want to explore, darting around in our HOVA, soaking in the atmosphere and just existing for a period of time in this wonderful little world.
The gameplay here may be rather simple stuff - a succession of straightforward delivery scenarios with the occasional moral choice to be made - but the evocative nature of Nivalis holds it all together. It makes every pick-up and drop-off a delight.

Making your way around here, through streets filled with cyborgs and humans, dealers, thugs and desperados, you'll witness noisy police car chases zip by overhead as every storefront, billboard and light is reflected beautifully in the rain-soaked pavements beneath your feet. This element of the game has also recently been added to by an excellent update, introducing a slick first person perspective which does a fantastic job of immersing you entirely in your surroundings. Zipping around in your HOVA, zooming down neon corridors that feel alive with futuristic traffic and up and out across the foreboding night sky is a delightful experience in the PC version of this game, it's never less that hugely atmospheric stuff and it's added to immensely by the fact you can emerge from your hover car, slowly throttling down to street level and jumping out to explore various sketchy neighbourhoods on foot.
Picking up jobs that see her ferry all manner of goods and passengers across the neon cityscape with direction provided by the rather shady Control, "never miss a delivery, never ask what's in the package", it's an intriguing tale that's well told through a handful of likeable characters and sees our protagonist slowly revealing shady truths about her employer and the tensions and rivalries that grip the streets below.
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Ĭloudpunk's story, which takes place across one long night in the city, sees you assume the role of Rania, a newcomer to these mean streets who's taken a position with the semi-legal Cloudpunk delivery service.

More than any other title we've played in recent memory, Cloudpunk relies on its setting, on the graphical wizardry of its artists and the intricately woven atmosphere they've created in order to sell its story, and so it's really a rather huge problem that this Switch port of the game - outsourced here to Merge Games, who have also handled the reportedly problematic PS4 and Xbox versions - struggles on almost every level to deliver the wonder of Nivalis intact to Nintendo's hybrid console.
