Nintendo Switch owners race to snap up £2.24 bundle worth £27 that’s ‘a blast to play’ – but you have to act fast
NINTENDO Switch owners can swipe a two-title-strong gaming bundle worth £26.99 for just £2.24 over the next few weeks.
The Sharp Shooter Bundle, which reviews say is “a blast to play”, is currently more than 90 per cent off in the Nintendo eShop.
It consists of two games: S.N.I.P.E.R Hunter Scope and Knights & Guns.
The two titles from Baltoro Games are currently for sale separately for £13.49.
Before you get too excited, however, the bundle is rated PEGI 16.
The offer ends at midnight on 28 July.
S.N.I.P.E.R Hunter Scope
In S.N.I.P.E.R.: Hunter Scope players are given over 30 weapons and power ups to unlock that will help them destroy their virtual enemies.
Players can engage with different mission types, from classic rail shooters and modern cover shooters.
There are over 15 stages to fight through, as well as more than 60 special achievements.
A review from the MyGamer blog called it “one of the best lightgun experiences on a modern console you can have”.
However, it did note that the difficulty may hold some players back in the early stages of levelling up.
The blog continued: “Even with the obvious flaws, there is a lot of unexpectedly good quality to be had in this arcadey shooter sim.
“Also, for the skilled and dedicated players, there is some paid Zombie DLC to provide even more content.”
Knights & Guns
In Knights & Guns, players take on a role of a “vengeance-stricken medieval knight with modern firepower at his disposal,” according to Baltoro.
The 2D shooter follows a knight whose tasked with slaying ghouls through a series of levels.
In a review on Metacritic, gaming publication Xbox Tavern wrote: “Knights and Guns is exactly what you want from a reimagining of a classic title.
“I loved Pang when it was at the arcades and this game made me feel the same nostalgic excitement I had when playing.
“It’s simple chaotic fun without being super difficult and overwhelming bullet hell madness.”
“It’s a shame there is no online co-op but it’s still just as fun to play on your own.”
Knights & Guns probably feels more suited to a handheld console over Xbox, to be honest, but on the whole you’ll find it to be a blast (sorry) to play.
TheXboxHub
TheXboxHub added: “Knights & Guns probably feels more suited to a handheld console over Xbox, to be honest, but on the whole you’ll find it to be a blast (sorry) to play.”
A separate review from Gaming Nexus said that the game might be a bit repetitive.
“What you will find is a simple always-firing-upward shooter that lets you shoot monsters with several types of weapons, a campaign where you can take multiple paths to get to your final destination, and the ability to bring a friend along for the ride,” the outlet wrote.
“For ten dollars, I’d say that’s a pretty solid deal.”
