New Switch 2 Exclusive Survival Game With a Unique Co-Op Twist Is Available Now

by

The February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase offered some exciting surprises. Beyond confirming that several Bethesda games are coming to the Switch 2, the showcase revealed a few unexpected titles. One standout announcement was Tokyo Scramble, a new dinosaur survival horror game clearly influenced by the popular Dino Crisis. Remarkably, the game was announced and released in just one week, and is currently available exclusively on the Switch 2 as of February 11th.

It’s common for games to be announced months, or even just days, before they come out. However, Tokyo Scramble was revealed during a Nintendo Direct only a week before its release as a Switch 2 exclusive. The game focuses on trying to escape from creatures resembling dinosaurs, called zinos. While fans are still hoping for a remake of Dino Crisis, Tokyo Scramble might be the closest experience they can get for now. Initial reviews have been mixed, but the game does attempt something new by utilizing the Switch 2’s GameShare feature, which could either help it stand out or hold it back compared to other survival games.

Tokyo Scramble Brings A Unique Multiplayer Twist to Survival Horror

With Tokyo Scramble only recently announced and released, there aren’t many reviews available yet. The ones that are out offer a mixed opinion. Initial reactions to the game weren’t as enthusiastic as hoped, especially for a new Switch 2 exclusive. While it’s a new release, the puzzle and survival gameplay shown felt a little old-fashioned. However, dinosaur game fans haven’t had many new options lately, so players who enjoyed games like Dino Crisis might be interested in giving Tokyo Scramble a try.

In this game, you play as Anne, who gets lost in an underground cave filled with bizarre, dinosaur-like creatures. Instead of traditional weapons, you’ll use a smartwatch called Diana to fight your way out. It might not be exactly what survival game fans were expecting, but it definitely offers some fresh and interesting concepts. You can watch the launch trailer below to get a better look.

Okay, so I’ve been playing Tokyo Scramble, and it’s seriously different. Instead of just fighting, you’ve got this smartwatch that lets you hack into stuff around you – like controlling devices to mess with enemies or get around obstacles. It’s all about using your brain and finding clever ways to win, which is cool. But the really wild part is this multiplayer mode called GameShare. It’s not like anything I’ve seen before!

A new Switch 2 feature called GameShare allows friends to play together even if they don’t all own the game. The game Tokyo Scramble is using this in a unique way: instead of each player controlling their own character, players can share control of a single character. Up to four people can play cooperatively, dividing up the game’s controls. This could lead to some hilarious chaos, but whether it will make Tokyo Scramble a fun or frustrating experience remains to be seen.

I’m really excited about this new survival game, and I have some good news for fellow Switch 2 fans! Tokyo Scramble is surprisingly affordable – it’s only $29.99! That makes it one of the cheaper new games on the Switch 2 this year. If you’re into survival games or curious about its unique co-op style, I think it’s definitely worth checking out.
