Reviews:
  • Featuring two platforming shooters and one vertically-scrolling shmup (with a fourth game option planned to come with a free update in the near future) Ploid Saga attempts to deliver quite a lot of gaming content for a very reasonable price. The risk with this sort of package is that the overall quality can get diluted and particularly in the case of the shmup title that’s the case. While it’s a bit unfair to pit it against some of the excellent indie titles already on the Switch there are so many better-implemented options available at pretty well all price points that you need to recognize its unrefined and honestly pretty clunky look and feel of play. The two platformers are at least a bit better, featuring different overall styles of play depending on which of the two characters you choose, but again when compared to comparable offerings on the system it plays more generically than average and just doesn’t inspire a need to return for more every chance you get. To its credit, if you’re on a budget and are just looking to stretch the gaming content to enjoy it’s not a bad deal, but particularly if you’ve been spoiled by the terrific indie platformers and shooters already on Switch this title comes up a bit short on that score.
