For example, a вЂњkick meвЂќ sign that, when posted on a foe, compels other enemies to attack it. The fresh arsenal oozes the gameвЂ™s sense of humor and creativity. Favorites include a shield for blocking and stickers that reveal a dungeonвЂ™s layout and treasure locations. New Toys and Stickers, the weapons and ability buffs of The Swords of Ditto, respectively, createsВ additional strategy. The only downer is the unwelcome arrival of Wallmaster-esque creatures that warp players backwards through dungeons upon capturing them. A slew of strange new enemies, such as a chainsaw-wielding Sasquatch, gives players a lot more to swing their swords at. The same sadly canвЂ™t be said for dungeons, which all sport the same uniform aesthetic. They look great and offer much needed visual variety. Players can now explore areas like a dilapidated junkyard occupied by robots, an urban neighborhood, and bug-infested wetlands. New locations spice things up the formerly limited environments.

The gameвЂ™s Hero (hard) mode features permanent death, so the option exists for those who want it. This alleviates the tension and frustration that dominated the old version to create a more relaxed experience. That proved tiresome for many players, so now they're simply whisked back to the starting house and lose a portion of their loot (which can be retrieved). Dying previously meant that players had begin a new timeline from scratch with a new character and tougher world state. MormoвЂ™s Curse all but eliminates the gameвЂ™s original permadeath system.

The additions may not all be substantial, but they do make for the beefiest and most enjoyable version of The Swords of Ditto yet.

This latest overhaul (coming free to all platforms) introduces several new elements and tweaks designed to improve and streamline the experience. Developer onebitbeyond has spent the past year improving the game and has brought it to the Nintendo Switch via the MormoвЂ™s Curse update. While it proved mostly enjoyable, tedious repetition, a poorly communicated endgame, and disappointing technical flaws held the game back from greatness. The Swords of Ditto offered a charming blend of Zelda-style gameplay and roguelite elements when it launched last April.
