Back in 2018, Rebellion (of Sniper Elite and Zombie Army fame) released a sleeper hit known as Strange Brigade. This one combines the studio’s signature third-person cooperative shooting with ample amounts of 1930s adventure film-inspired derring-do and quippy humor that gives it a feel all its own. Now that Strange Brigade is finally available on Nintendo Switch, it’s time for a co-op review.
"Strange Brigade is a cooperative third-person shooter from Rebellion that doesn't get as much love as it should. Well, the Switch version of the game has at least earned a pair of upcoming physical editions from Super Rare Games. Collectors will be able to get either a standard physical edition or a fancy Steelbook. Considering that Strange Brigade has a fun, adventurous story and great 4-player online co-op, the only strange thing is how long it took these physical versions to come about," says Co-Optimus.
Neil writes: "Zombie Army 4 is the zombie-slaying gift that just keep giving. After first launching to some rather critical acclaim, the game has continued to go from strength to strength since, building out with multiple seasons' worth of content. Today it expands once more, updated and enhanced with five new DLC packs - including a bit of a Strange Brigade crossover."
Exophase: "Rebellion is quickly building a reputation for bringing high-quality ports to Nintendo Switch. Sniper Elite 4 brought some of the most polished and intense stealth action around to Nintendo’s platform last year, and now we have the supernatural action-adventure shooter, Strange Brigade. Though there’s nothing new here in terms of content, this is the same highly entertaining game now optimized for the Switch hardware — which is to say there’s a lot to enjoy about the core gameplay and quirky writing."
