River Tails is Now on Nintendo Switch
As far as co-op games go,River tails: Stronger Togethersounds fairly unique. Besides the fact that there aren’t many3D platformerswith co-op support,River Tailstakes an asymmetrical approach. One player plays as a kitten named Furple, while the other plays as a fish named Finn. The characters have their own unique gameplay mechanics, requiring players to work together to overcome challenges and progress through the game. For example, Finn may have to move objects in the water so that Furple can use them.
WhileRiver Tails: Stronger Togetheris clearly built with co-op in mind, there is an option to play single-player as well, for those that would rather go solo. This LoneWolf mode challenges players to control both characters using oneNintendo Switch controller, which is easier said than done, to say the least. Those that want the trueRiver Tails: Stronger Togetherexperience should be sure to recruit a friend for some classic couch co-op. If the Steam reviews are any indication, it should be one of the better local co-op games on the Switch.
