Mighty Switch Force! Academy

There are a lot of things wrong with this game, and it's to be expected seeing as it is still not totally developed. But there are a lot of things that really angered me, that I hope can be fixed in the final version. First off, the controls. Please let us use the control stick we move with to select items during the pause menu. And please please PLEEEEEASE allow us to customize the Switch Force buttons. I'm so used to using the Right Trigger as a means of using this function, but the fact that it's on the B-Button now is super disorienting and weird. And PLEASE ADD WINDOW MODE!!!! Now, if it were me, it would be nice to have new music, but I honestly understand why this game doesn't. This game is like another spin-off title to the Mighty Switch Force! series, like Hose it Down. Also, would be really nice if you used the Mighty Switch Force HD sprites for Patty. It'd stand out more and look better overall. Also, the multiplayer characters should actually change the light-blue on her o...

A neat attempt to revitalize the foundation you've already made. Though it's at most a tech demo, the old arcade style in through one side out the opposite made for some interesting takes on old mechanics. One of the levels even introduced mechanics not seen in any previous game, from collecting more than 5 prisoners, to teleporters, to carrying momentum through teleports. It shows me that they still have new ideas to keep the game fresh. The last 5 levels were from Mighty Switch Force 1, and I had slowdown issues with it. Maybe because it's all in one screen with all the background stuff going on. I didn't get the chance to play local co-op, and there is no online co-op. As much as I want to recommend this, I can't. It's way to early, and it needs more content. Hopefully WayForward can add more to this idea and keep the ball running, maybe even make it easy for fan mod support.

A beautifully crafted single-player puzzle game by the folks at Wayforward behind games like Shantae, Double Dragon Neon, Contra 4, and Ducktales Remastered! With Jake Kaufman on the music once again your ears will be blessed by bouncy beats as you partake in some passionate puzzles! Good price tag (even at launch) and fun gameplay that'll have you switching up your noggin' as you try and solve them.

Edit: if you've never played one of these games before Buy the collection! It gives you all the games and is better value for money A mighty attempt at keeping the series fresh, suffering from a lack of pc optimisation and testing. The 360 pad support is there, but everything else looks like it needs more work done with it. In a game about puzzles fused with speedrunning you're thinking 4 player would be an amazing idea! But then you remember it's incredibly easy to troll each other, which will happen 100 times more often than the military like precision needed to make full use of co-op speedrunning. There's a vs mode I haven't tested, but I imagine it has a lot to do with the aformentioned trolling. Only get this if you REALLY love the series, love the character, have local friends who are more likely to work together than troll and/or it's on sale

HUGE Mighty switch force! fan here! when i got this game...the game didn't boot up correctly, had to figure out thanks to a certain person on steam, wayforward really needs to update this game and fix it so people never get this issue again, that's the only problem with this game,what i do love are: the music (even though its the same music from mighty switch force! 1 and 2, there is one new song though in this game lol), graphics dont matter in gaming..but i do like the graphics anyways, Brand new stages i really love, more hooligan sisters i get to recapture instead of 5 per level all the time, stages are really challenging, and i mean REALLY CHALLENGING!!! love that also, and of course love patricia wagon so much! and definately i love new dialogue for patricia wagon in this game, she says new stuff i never heard off in this game, thats so awesome, my personal rating of this game is 9/10 :)

As much as I adore WayForward and everything they make, this game really isn't very good. The game is a unique idea, 4 player Mighty Switch Force, but absolutely nothing was done to make that work well other than zooming out the screen, which has its own problems. I have absolutely no idea how anyone is able to play this game with four players, everyone playing must be in perfect sync with each other, or there's no way the level's getting done. The game feels cheap too, which feels very odd for a WayForward property. The game is a mixture of reused pixel art (which still looks great), and generic VR styled levels that don't match the pixel art at all. The zoomed out screen makes it hard to appreciate the good sprites too, since they're so small. The new sprites for this game don't even look that great either. I'm really sad to say it, but this game isn't worth the price. Everything good about it can be found in the other Mighty Switch Force games. The main appeal of this game is the ...

I'd recommend it on sale for the general populace, it's a little too short for a $10 (it's about 3-5 hours based on how well you do), but if you're a MSF fan I'd say it's a somewhat OK price as-is, maybe pushing the upper limit. The game revolves around "flipping" objects into the level on demand, some of which you have to platform on and even time them as you launch yourself/enemies over spike pits with cannons where a single missed switch will cost you a heart/retry. Co-op is a nightmare, you ALL control the same plane of blocks, meaning if you swap blocks you'll likely drop someone into spikes or flat out knock them into your computer screen. If ANYONE dies, it's back to the start! The only way to beat most levels safely in co-op is to take turns platforming and reaching the goal. But co-op DOES allow for some interesting speed-running strats! If, say, P1 stand on a certain spot, let's P2 grab the prisoner, the level will jump to the next section, and if timed right, P1 will lan...

Probably a good game on its own, but having played both MSF 1 and 2, I can't help but compare it to those two games, both of which are far superior. Just get MSF HD instead.

MSF Academy really does feel like the other Switch Force games. It's very fun and can make you use your brain, but there are a few things that I feel need to be added or changed. -The levels are fun and can be done very easily, but that's almost a problem. I'm sure there are more levels on the way, but right now, everything was very simple. Maybe some more challenging levels could be added or the design of some of other ones can be changed around a bit, just for a bit more of a challege. -There needs to be some kind of a payoff. The other Switch Force games give a reward of some sort for completing the levels. Whether it be a costume or extra levels, there needs to be something. I don't know how anyone else feels about it, but I always feel like I've successfully completed a game when I get something out of it. -Multiplayer! The multiplayer system is a good idea. I believe that WayForward should expland on that. But if there's a multiplayer, there needs to be a drawback on the par syst...
