Review of “My Night Job” for Nintendo Switch

Webcore Games and Soft Source bring us the adrenaline-charged arcade beat ’em up, My Night Job, set in a spine-chilling mansion filled with monsters and mayhem. Intrigued? Dive into our thoughts on My Night Job and see what this game has in store for you!

In My Night Job, players find themselves in a hauntingly atmospheric building, tasked with grabbing whatever weaponry they can find to fend off hordes of monsters. The objective? Complete various tasks like rescuing helpless civilians or safeguarding rooms from relentless attacks. The game boasts over 60 different weapons, so there’s plenty to experiment with. But remember, surviving is key; once your health runs out or too many rooms are destroyed, it’s game over, forcing you to start anew. This intense experience takes cues from both classic action games and the spine-tingling horror films of the 1980s.

Ready to jump in? You’ll control your character using either the left analog stick or the D-Pad. Leaping through the air is as easy as pressing the B button, while the Y button lets you unleash attacks on your foes. Need a quick getaway? The A button allows you to dash and avoid enemy strikes. For more control, press the L button or R button to sprint left or right. To dodge low attacks, hold down or crouch using the left analog stick or D-Pad. Scour boxes for weapons, simply press up on the stick or D-Pad, and hope you uncover something useful!

As you navigate the mansion, saving individuals becomes a crucial part of your mission. Some will even bravely fight alongside you as you escort them to a waiting helicopter, ready to whisk them away to safety. The more people you save, the bigger the rewards! Whether it’s extra cash for the leaderboards, a healing med kit, or even a limited-ammo, high-powered gun perfect for tackling those daunting larger monsters, every rescue counts.

In summary, My Night Job combines the thrill of arcade-style combat with the suspense of navigating a monster-infested mansion. Balancing weapon choice and strategy is crucial as you face waves of monstrous foes while meeting your objectives. With a nod to nostalgic action tropes, how long can you hold your ground? Available on the Nintendo Switch, this gripping game is priced at $12.99. Think you have what it takes to save the day?
