![]() ![]() Join forces with other players to experience split-screen couch co-op in every mode. Play with Your Favorite People, in Every Mode Squad up with up to three friends in the Giddy Park social region and take back Weirding Woods, Mount Steep, and Neighborville Town Centre. The tension across the terra has expanded with three free-roam regions and one PvE mode that extend beyond the town of Neighborville. Venture to the Outer Edges of Neighborville Bring the unique abilities of each character class to six PvP modes, including the new Battle Arena, and experience the unbeleafable thrills of combat. Join the newest bloom in the age-old battle between plants and zombies with 20 fully customizable classes at launch, including a Team Play class for each faction. Except that a crazy new coniferous conflict between brain-less and botanicals is brewing! What are you gonna do – call the crops? Soil your plants? Prepare to kick some grass in a plant-on-zombie conflict that will take you to the outer edges of Neighborville and back again. ![]() Multiply that even further if you decide to play solo, as things will become even slower to deal with.Welcome to Neighborville, where all is well. Multiply that by twenty-four, and you can imagine how much a slog this game can be at times. Each class takes an excruciating amount of levels for you to unlock all of their costumes and additional features. It’s an annoying grind, that’s for certain. The only thing I really wasn’t a fan of is the game’s progression system. Furthermore, they are infested with puns, which I cannot resist. It’s also stupidly easy, being a great way for newcomers to get accustomed to the game’s controls and mechanics. The offline campaigns are brief, clocking at around seven hours altogether and are far from being deep, but then again, they do work as enjoyable distractions whenever you’re away from a router. The sheer amount of characters to play as means that you will most certainly find a plant or a zombie that will best suit your playstyle, in a “ Battlefield meets Overwatch” kind of way. None of the multiplayer modes are exactly exciting, but they are varied enough to be sufficient. I love how they renamed “kill” to “vanquish” to make the game more PG. Considering its multiplayer nature, you can expect a few issues whenever playing online. For the most part, it runs at a solid 30 frames per second, but the framerate does tend to drop whenever things get a bit too hectic onscreen. This Switch version looks quite decent, all things considered, but there’s a catch: there are framerate issues. Sure, Battle for Neighborville isn’t as visually demanding as Battlefront, but it didn’t look like an Xbox 360 game either. ![]() ![]() The Frostbite Engine allows for some impressive graphics, with colorful visuals and a surprising amount of detail in each character and map. I for one never thought the publisher would ever bother trying to make their engine run on the Switch to begin with. This transition hasn’t been perfect at all, which I’ll discuss in detail in the next few paragraphs, but it’s still an interesting feat. Yet, the Switch version of Battle for Neighborville marks the debut of the engine running on what’s essentially dated mobile hardware. This is why we ended up getting subpar versions of FIFA in the past. EA’s monumental engine powers most of the company’s in-house projects and used to be considered too complex to run on the Switch. The main reason for such fuss can be summarised in one word: Frostbite. ![]()
