Don't Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition

Mechanics

Don't Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition is a classic survival game in which players are gathering resources, building new constructions and items and fighting hostile environment and unpleasant weather conditions. The action is presented from an isometric perspective, which is an unusual choice for the genre. The vast locations are procedurally generated each time the game starts, making each session with the game unique. The presence of Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked expansions expands the gameplay with new features like biomes, seasons of the year, enemies and crafting materials. The players can also move to a tropical archipelago and travel between islands on boats. The rewards for progress in the game include new playable characters. Each of them features unique special skills like being fireproof or having increased strength.

Technical aspects

Similarly to previous games developed by Klei Entertainment, Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition focuses on humor. This can be seen in the design of characters and locations and in pop culture references. The two-dimensional, cartoon-like graphics feature unique style inspired by many western independent comics. The title game is a direct port of previous versions of the game. The game s standard controllers and can be played both in stationary and mobile mode.
