13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim<\/em>, once a PlayStation 4 exclusive, is coming to Nintendo Switch.<\/h4>\n

Originally launched in 2020, this adventure\/RTS mash-up\u2019s narrative is, alone, almost worth the price of entry. We sang the story\u2019s praises earlier this year<\/a>, calling it \u201ca sci-fi epic with a scope that dwarfs any other PlayStation 4 exclusive\u201d. Though we also stated that the RTS elements were too simplistic to hold up the game.<\/p>\n

But, as of next year, you\u2019re going to be able to experience 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim <\/em>and its massive 13 protagonists on the Nintendo Switch. If you\u2019re wondering what it\u2019s about, the name\u2019s a big clue. The playable characters live in a world where giant Kaiju attack Japan though, given the narrative is non-linear you won\u2019t be able to piece everything together till the credits roll.<\/p>\n

Borrowing Pacific Rim\u2019s<\/em> homework, your protagonists leap into giant robots, which is where 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim\u2019s <\/em>RTS element comes from, though they spend plenty of time just interacting with other characters as well. We did raise an eyebrow when we first learnt of its full title, but Asylum got away with mockbuster Atlantic Rim<\/em> and, two years later, there\u2019s no sign of Guillermo del Toro calling his lawyers in.<\/p>\n
