Not meaning this as too much of an insult and instead as an observation the mobile roots of the game are simply too prevalent given the quality and pacing of shooters already on the platform. First you have the cost of upgrades in the game and the ridiculously expensive alternative uniforms that are much better understood in the context of paid microtransactions and/or grinding. Then you have the more casual overall style of action and play from a space where people need to slow things down because they don’t necessarily have dedicated controllers, or at least good ones. All of that said, if there are people more familiar with the mobile space or that find the current collection of shooters on the Switch to be too intense this could also be music to their ears. In the end Troopers offers a fair amount of content that will likely have its fans, it’s just that those people are probably not the same ones who enjoy the more intense examples of the genre already on the Switch. There’s fun to be had here and across the multiple campaigns in the game you’ll be asked to survive a fair variety of mission types even if most are just asking you to shoot things ultimately. If you’re down for a slower-paced and enjoy getting a chance to blow some stuff up, and don’t mind doing a bit of grinding along the way, Tiny Troopers Joint Ops XL may be a good fit for you.
