Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for December 17th, 2019. As I guessed yesterday, there wasn’t a whole lot of exciting Switch news in the last 24 hours. As such, I’ve got a slightly abbreviated article for you today, with a couple of Mini-Views, summaries of both of today’s new releases, and the usual list of sales. Yes, it’s beginning to feel positively holiday-ish in the world of video games, and I’m almost out of new stuff to review. That’s just the way it goes sometimes. Anyway, let’s get to what we’ve got!
Mini-Views
SuperEpic: The Entertainment War ($17.99)

SuperEpic succeeds through a multi-pronged attack, and I found myself quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The story is amusing and not even a little subtle about its point, skewering the free-to-play game industry and taking a lot of pot shots at mobile games of that sort in particular. It gets a bit tiresome in its single-mindedness, but it’s cheeky enough that you’ll probably get a chuckle or two out of it every now and then. As Metroidvania games go, its exploratory chops are solid if not exactly paradigm-breaking. The combat system is enjoyable and combo-heavy, making the rather large amount of combat you’ll get up to very satisfying. Ultimately, SuperEpic doesn’t excel at any one element. It’s like the student who earns straight Bs across the board. But that makes for a rather nice game experience...
