Cursor of the Sea Rats is an upcoming video game for the Nintendo Switch console. The game is being developed by Petoons Studio and will be published by Badland Publishing. Cursor of the Sea Rats is a 2D action-adventure game that combines elements of platforming and role-playing games. Players assume the role of a group of pirate rats who have been transformed into mice by a curse. They must navigate through various levels, battling enemies and solving puzzles in order to break the curse and return to their original form. The game features a unique control scheme that utilizes the Nintendo Switch's touch screen capabilities.
However, the current gameplay issues can be kind of frustrating. I found some of my attacks not landing properly on random enemies. The ‘Parry’ system isn’t the best. And there’s just an overall feel of clunkiness when it comes to the fighting mechanic, regardless of which character you choose to play as.
As you progress through the game, be prepared for a lot of backtracking if you re into exploring all of the hidden locations and completing certain side quests which are mostly about item collection and retrieval. The character interactions are great, and the quest variety and exploration is interesting, but there s just something that kills the fun when you bang your head on a boss for the 4 th time without any progress.
The game features a unique control scheme that utilizes the Nintendo Switch's touch screen capabilities. Players use the cursor of the sea rats to interact with the game world, controlling the movement of their character and performing various actions such as attacking and using items. Cursor of the Sea Rats boasts colorful and vibrant graphics, with hand-drawn animations and a charming art style.
