Hey SwitchUp Family - Are you also a fan of Devolver Digital? They seem to have a knack for choosing quality and I thought (from initial impressions) this wasn’t for me…oh my poor backlog how I have forsaken you once more! MArk

All Hail Devolver! Long live Devolver!
Devolver continues to find great devs with creative ideas. Thanks for the review and thanks for always mentioning the controls. Glad to know a game like this plays well on Switch as it seems more intuitive to use a keyboard and mouse.
I had written this game off as looking a bit generic from the screenshots etc, glad I took the time to check a review, sounds like a great little gem I'll be adding to my wishlist!

I have not understood what exactly this game is until this review. Well done and I am so tempted to pick this up.
I saw necromancer. I'm sold! I remember seeing this on the eShop and thinking I hope the SwitchUp guys cover this one. Can't wait to pick it up. Thanks for the review!
LOL, love that intro... Let's find out!😆 In all seriousness though, I've been waiting for this one. I pre-ordered it, which I rarely do. Glad to see it met or perhaps exceeded expectations!
One of the things I look forward to Switch Up’s reviews is the clever statement before they start the review. Either downright funny or clever and even both :) one of my fav KZread channels

I’ve ordered the physical edition, I’m looking forward to playing it. What Joycons are you talking about?
Pre-orders for physical have begun, Dec. 9, so jump on it if you want one. Great review! And super stoked for the US switchup shop!!! ❤
I've seen a few of your reviews and you have a good style. Clear explanations of what parts you like and dislike so that even if I have a different taste in games your reviews are useful.

I really loved this on pc, and was super excited for the switch port. Totally happy it got a good review and can't wait to grab it.
Ive been waiting for this one for a while, started like an hour ago. Its even more addicting than it looks. Its actually really fun with a stylus i got from super mario maker. Super smart they did touch control.
I really enjoy the art of the game

Hey, sorry to be a bit off-topic, but I want to thank you for mentioning your NYXI joy-cons and providing that discount code for them a few weeks ago! I now own those joy-cons myself and I'm impressed! Finally joy-cons that aren't so tiny that they hurt my hands using them, and aren't cheap knock-offs with no motion control or rumble! I've been using them non-stop since I got them last weekend and I'm enjoying it! Still need to test the motion controls properly, but so far I'm a happy gamer 😄.

Devolver digital have the magic touch on the games they put out they’re always pretty good I wasn’t sure on this on but after seeing this video I’m definitely picking it up as soon as I can. Thank you again for such a good review video
When I first looked at loop hero I didn't really see what the fuss was all about. This review really helped answer that question. Thanks!
My dudes, devolver may be the best publisher on the planet! It’s a seal of approval. I’ve preordered this bad boy. Quality review, I’ll watch again, again, again….. well you know Devolver x switch ❤️

First I bought game with preoreder discount. (what usually I don't like to do). After that I saw and went to see yours review... and i'm damn lucky, that review was merciful and the game itself was proven good... cause otherwise I would feel stupid bying game before i check review from you guys. :D cheers
Hey Mark, thanks for the review! Always happy to see a new SwitchUp upload :) I’ve been waiting for this release for awhile, how are the controls on switch? It looks like it was very much designed for a mouse and keyboard and I’m curious as to how the game feels with a controller. Thank you!

Great review, you guys always make me want to try games outside my comfort zone that I wouldn't usually consider! If only the budget permitted lol 😂
Great review - as always. I need this game in my life.
I was always going to check this one out someday, but it is nice to see that it turned out great!
I watched a little play through on your mates channel (switched on) been waiting for your review looking forward to this. Definitely could slip into the never ending story era.
It took me a while to get into and grasp this game, at first I was so perplexed, but then it clicked and now I'm hooked.
Bought those joycons. Thanks for the code!
Very curious bout this game. Thanks for the awesome review.
Soundtrack bangs in the whip.
First saw this from a Hades streamer I watch at times, looked super weird but ended up having a ton of fun with it even for a roguelike, and those are few and far between for ones I like. The unique gameplay and beautiful artstyle is an amazing Mashup and a must have game for fans of the genre.
I don't think it's for me but I'm glad it turned out well, at least. It's always nice to hear about games done well, even if they're not my thing.
I preordered this and put an hour into it before work, and all I could think about all day was firing it up and looping some more. Good god, this could be it… the game to break my crippling addiction to Destiny 2! Awesome review too, you’re bang on with the visuals, but somehow I can’t imagine it being any other way
Really interested in the visuals on this game definitely going on the wishlist for sales notifications. Probably worth the money but I’ve been stocking up my back list already with all these sales your channels has been turning me on to. And mh su break is coming soon! Gah.
Makes me remember Monster Sanctuary but more related to the rogue style, Devolver Digital has become a master in indies selection
I have 150h on the steam version and I instantly pre-ordered it on the switch .The chiptune soundtrack is great, the pixelated graphics look gorgeous and the gameplay is fantastic. I can only highly recommend this as well. Love this game and totally agree to your fantastic review.
So glad you reviewed this game! I've been looking forward to it for a while now. Also, I apologize as I'm sure this has been asked before, but what joycons are you using?
I did not understand what this game was all about but after watching your great review I’m hooked. Going on the wish list for sure. Thanks for the vid
If not for this video, I would have completely overlooked Loop Hero. Great video as always!
rly nice review i never would looked at that game but know i buy it next months
Im sold even at full price. Great review.
Great video, thanks guys.
I cant wait to try this game! Looks so good!
I bought Loop Hero on PC when it released. I'll definitely be purchasing this great game for my Nintendo switch as well.
Dope review was thinking about picking this up Devolver knows what they’re doing
Super tempted to get this even tho I have it on pc
Love the art style in this
I don't know if it's bcuz those are images from my decade of gaming but I love these visuals
Such a good game. Was looking forward to release since the last ahowcase
I am so looking forward to this game. Can't wait to get home tonight
Saw this, gonna buy this especially since you rated this highly. Gotta go back into the loop

Loop Hero is finally here!
Pumped for this, going to grab the physical with Deaths Door. Can't wait.
Just picked this up and wow super addictive gameplay loop out of the box
Hmm, I’m not seeing the eshop cards on your website (I’m in Canada)
Special Reserve usually does open preorders.
Yep another one for the back catalogue lol looks amazing
I was interested in this when I first herd about it based on the description, but now I definitely want to give it a go. For something that is unique, you haven't mentioned the learning curve; am I gonna feel dumb because I don't understand what is going on? I don't mind dying a lot if there is a purpose (e.g. Flame in the Flood) but it's depressing when it happens because you can't get the hang of something rather than it being part of the game play.
Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal! Great review!
Didn't even know that this was coming to switch. Fantastic news
I got this game to be my "stand by game" and after a first couple of loops it became the only game I was playing for a couple of days.
Got to admit i was going to pass on this game. Just seen your review and have purchased and downloaded it. I also got ForTheKing while it was on offer! I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome channel and content. Its a breath of fresh air. You really do bring back the memories of old gaming mags. Coming from a 40+ year old gamer its a great to see you link back to older systems. Loved the shout out to the old ZX Spectrum. ManicMiner, SabreWulf, AtticAttack, Hunchy….. ahh the memories :) Thanks again lads and keep up the great work!
This is the kind of game I would love if I could just commit to the time needed to learn all the mechanics!

It's really not hard to learn and to be honest... I had fun just figuring them out myself. Adds to the mysterious nature of the game.
That thumbnail really got me, the game is really referencing sans and that alone got the interest of people lol
Seems like the kinda game I’d like to play a demo of 1st
I have a infinite backlog. But I been wanting to play this for a while.
Already preordered!
ahh thankyou for the joycon recommendation! my joycon drift ust started kicing in really bad and i had a hard time looking for a good controller option so will definitely check these out!

The thin piece (or couple pieces) of cardboard really does the trick. Very easy to open and put it under the joystick. I've replaced multiple joysticks on my joycons, but the cardboard is an easy fix.

There’s a great documentary on the making of Loop Hero on No Clip. Check it out at a time when you can watch it (not just listen, unless you speak Russian) as it has a lot of subtitles.
Awesome review. I played this when it released on pc and loved it. And watching this review I have the itch to play it again. But the BIG question is, do I like the game enough to buy it a second time, JUST so I can play it in bed… I’m leaning yes. It IS an awesome game and the soundtrack does hit really hard. Thanks guys!

Thank you, for getting the U.S. side of the shop up. Was feeling a bit neglected
I had mine preordered since Monday lol
I thought the visuals looked cool but didn't understand what the game was about, this video makes me want to buy it down the road!
How to u toggle battle speed to be faster?
The game looks intriguing but I’m curious if those joycons you’re using will work for games like Mario party?
Very intricate then it first seemed
I forgot to preorder but it's a day 1 buy for me and perfect for the Switch
I came over to nintendo a couple years ago cause I was tired of the same old games....I have fallen in love with the independent games ..all these idie developers have reinvigorated my love for games and devolver is one of the best..didn't even need the review I knew it would be good but I love you guys this channel is awsome!
My wishlist 👍👍
This game looks amazing downloading right now!!
I can’t tell if this game is going to v be my biggest headache full of deja vu or if this is going to be the most fun I’ve had in months. It looks pretty bland until you’ve added more cards, then gets a bit busy. I guess the only option is to dive in and see what happens! Thanks for the review letting me know this existed :)
I’m a sucker for these dope looking rogue-likes but get so frustrated when I have to start over ha
I have those joycons. Massively prefer them to the Hori Split Pad. And it really didn’t take that long to get them to the UK - although I thought they were coming from the US and not China

Is this game quite chilled, as in you don’t need quick reactions, just thinking.
Ok, I’m sold. But I am afraid it could be too much addictive. Very few free time right now.
I have this on PC because I was too impatient to wait for the switch version >:( It is a perfect couple-of-runs-before-sleep game on the switch.
I love this game so far
Devolver games are great...love them. So it seems i need this game. Looks awesome.
