If you know a certain item won’t create the desired effect but still wonder what it would do, just give it a try. The process of elimination in Hiveswap is seldom frustrating because even if you choose the wrong item, the game explains the implications of said choice. Sure, the puzzles are set in terms of how one solves them, but figuring out the answers is fun in and of itself. One of the gameplay’s most charming aspects is that these items aren’t limited to single specific uses. Throughout the game, players pick up a wide assortment of items that are used in deciphering puzzles and progressing the story. Almost every inch of every room is filled with thought, whether items be mundane (effectively conveying a sense of realism) or outrageous (matching the game’s humorous tone and/or delivering pertinent information on troll culture). This isn’t a game where characters’ interests are hinted at by two posters on the walls of otherwise minimalist rooms. Most of the plot takes place within characters’ homes, which are filled to the brim with objects of both plot and character significance. It is definitely a point-and-click adventure–but that’s not a bad thing when there is an almost endless supply of things to click on. Gameplay-wise, Hiveswap is unique amongst its contemporaries. I present to you some of the most adorable videogame characters of the year. Playing Hiveswap is a feel-good experience, even when it treads heavy ground. No holds are barred, but they are delivered alongside witty observations and over-the-top commentary. That’s not to say the game is somber, though. Hiveswap cuts deep on multiple occasions: from societal oppression to parental neglect to emotional abuse, the game approaches serious subject matter earnestly and emotively.
The main standout is probably Xefros Tritoh, an alien (referred to as a troll in-game) struggling with self-esteem issues and the oppressive restrictions placed upon members of his social class. The three characters that players get to control all have unique attitudes, hobbies, and manners of speaking (even their texting styles are distinct from one another). One of the game’s main strengths is definitely its writing. Not understanding everything is part of the point: players explore and try to make sense of strange phenomena as the characters do.
The main character, Joey Claire, finds herself under attack by strange aliens, and later on gets teleported to an alien world. Hiveswap employs multiple first person points of view, as a handful of characters react to mysterious events and struggle to figure out what’s going on around them. This is due largely to the way the plot unfolds. The game takes heavy influence from Homestuck in just about every capacity imaginable (graphics, plot concepts, soundtrack, writing style, etc.) but players don’t need to have read the original comic to enjoy the game. Hiveswap: Act 1 is the start of a new story and set to be continued in future installments. Wave 4 introduces two new cups to the game: The Fruit Cup, which includes Amsterdam Drift (Mario Kart Tour), Riverside Park (Mario Kart Super Circuit), DK Summit (Mario Kart Wii), and the brand new Yoshi's Island course, and The Boomerang Cup, which includes Bangkok Rush (Mario Kart Tour), Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS), Waluigi Stadium (Mario Kart Double Dash), and Singapore Speedway (Mario Kart Tour).A New Adventure - LOZ Breath of the Wild (Part 1) Nor does it rule out characters from other franchises, as there is representation from Splatoon, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. That doesn't rule out new characters though, as Wave 4's Yoshi Island course is an entirely brand-new course for the series.
There are a whole range of classic characters not included in the game just yet, like Pauline, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and R.O.B, all of which have appeared in previous Mario Kart titles. "Two upcoming waves of DLC are still to come, featuring more returning courses and characters from across the Mario Kart series," Nintendo said in a press release with the new wave of DLC.
