[Análisis] Saints Row IV: Re-Elected for Nintendo Switch – iGamesNews

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, developed by Volition and distributed by Koch Media in Spain, it is a game of action in third person where we will take control of the very president of the United States of America, who is the leader of the Saints Row organization, which must face an alien invasion. Yes, as is, I am not exaggerating, this title is a parody in itself.

Landing in Nintendo Switch the next March 27, 2020, we are going to be able to play the last title of the Saints Row franchise, which I anticipate, is a set of parodies that will get us more than a laugh, in addition to a "walk, this scene is from such a movie."

Story and gameplay

Our epic adventure begins with the option of eradicating world hunger or curing cancer, and soon after, some not so cute aliens will land and end up abduct us and get into a virtual world, with the sole purpose of making life impossible for us. Luckily, a colleague of our character, Kinzie Kensington, will give us some exaggerated control over the program's code, giving us abilities impossible unless you are a superhero?

Be Flash, Superman Smallville, or both at the same time and more, our entire adventure will take place both in the digital world, the city of Steelport, like in the ship alien, once we wake up from the simulation to the Matrix. Turn the code against the villain Zinyak to weaken the simulation and wake up other members of your gang.

Classic gameplay is quickly replaced thanks to powers. We can continue collecting cars, having weapons or stealing a plane, but who wants all that if we can to run, skip, to plan, move objects with the mind, use the elements and more? Has anyone seen my tight leggings and my mask? Furthermore, all this is accompanied by Minigames Y challenges that will make our situation in Steelport more varied.

Without a doubt, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is an extremely funny, full of cliches and parodies of science fiction movies or video games. He control it's very intuitive and easy of learning, although sometimes it does not react as we would like, that does not prevent us from taking out our tank to finish the task quickly. If in the end we fight with weapons, a very positive point in favor is that we will have the gyroscope once we are signed up.

You will have, as usual, hundreds of collectibles, which in turn are necessary for improve your powers. Also challenges to get variants of your powers or new weapons. Completing them all will take us a curious time, but once we do a minimum of weighing, they will give us the possibility of seeing them all on the map to get them even more easily.

Having said all this, if you are looking for a GTA or a similar experience, I recommend that you play Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package

Graphics and sound

We met with a remarkable port to Nintendo Switch. With dynamic resolutionsYes, although very well defined for portable mode, 720p and 480p. It usually stays 30 fps, except for a specific drop, nothing that has spoiled the comfort of playing it. I can't say the same for the drawn distance, since we will see the grass grow out of nowhere as if we were the Deer God of Princess Mononoke.

Even so, we are before the poorer graphic version of the entire current generation of consoles, considering that Saints Row IV: Re-Elected was originally released in 2013. On the move, adventure is fluid and encourages the player, but if we stop to look closely, the Sawtooth They are so pronounced in some areas that they could almost cut trees 3 by 3 at Animal Crossing.

The years are not wasted, and although developers have learned patch after patch in Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package, that does not mean that everything looks very archaic, but, even so, it is an enjoyable experience.

The music still great in this saga. With the different radio channels at our disposal, we will have a limited number of songs to listen to depending on our musical taste. Which the game knows how to take advantage of very well for some epic and highly motivating scenes.

Multiplayer

We must make a special mention to the multiplayer system of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected since we can play cooperatively with another player who owns both a Nintendo Switch and another copy of the title.

We can play in mode local or on-line, and there will be some missions that will be exclusive in this way, so do not hesitate if you have the possibility of having a great time playing cat and mouse with your friend to have a laugh, while this happens during the quarantine.

conclusion

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected it's a game highly recommended for anyone who wants crazy action and long duration, from 20 to 40 hours. Without being a graphic boast, the rest of the consoles cannot reproduce the greatest attraction of Nintendo Switch, its portable mode.

Fun, cutting, durable, with Superpowers, aliens, robots, space vortices and much more is everything that awaits us in Saints Row IV, it will not be the GOTY of the year, but it is a great game with which to spend long hours for many days.
