Brace yourself for a thrilling ride in My Night Job, brought to you by Webcore Games and Soft Source, where you’ll dive headfirst into an arcade-style beat ’em up adventure set in a haunted building. In our detailed review, we’ll unravel the challenges that await you!
Imagine navigating through a spooky mansion, armed with an arsenal of over 60 different weapons. The objective? To fend off monstrous hordes while tackling various missions, such as saving civilians and securing rooms against waves of enemies. Each weapon has its own unique flair, so experimenting to find your perfect match is part of the thrill. You’ll want to keep your character alive and the mansion intact as long as possible, because once your health is depleted or too many rooms fall to ruin, it’s game over. This experience is heavily inspired by iconic action games and horror flicks from the ’80s, giving it a nostalgic yet fresh feel.
When you’re ready to jump into the action, you’ll maneuver your character using the left analog stick or D-Pad. Jumping is a breeze with the B button, while the Y button lets you launch attacks against foes. For dodging incoming threats, a quick tap of the A button will allow you to dash. You also have the handy option of dashing left or right with the L and R buttons respectively. Watch out for those high attacks by ducking with a downward press on the stick or D-Pad. Keep an eye out for boxes containing weapons—these could be game-changers. Simply press up to investigate and claim your find!
As heroes of the mansion, your mission includes rescuing its inhabitants. Some of the rescued individuals might even lend a hand in fighting off creatures. Transporting them to the chopper increases your tally, earning you valuable bonuses that can enhance your score and push you up the leaderboards. Rewards range from cash boosts and med kits, which heal your character, to powerful but ammo-limited guns essential for toppling tougher monsters.
Get ready for a journey in My Night Job, now available on Nintendo Switch for $12.99, where your strategic and combat skills will be put to the ultimate test. Inspired by the chillers of the ’80s and classic arcade gameplay, this game challenges you to last as long as you can. Will you be able to outsmart the terrifying adversaries and save everyone from the mansion’s sinister grip?
