Troubleshooting

Game does not launch or icon missing

Ensure the game card is fully inserted into the slot and clean the gold contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.

Cannot find where to go next

Check your in-game map for unvisited corridors and look for paths that were previously blocked by obstacles you might now be able to bypass with new abilities.

Boss fight feels impossible

Equip different charm combinations at a bench to suit the specific boss and take a break to reset your reflexes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive package including all major content updates
  • Highly responsive, tight platforming and combat controls
  • Exceptional value with dozens of hours of gameplay
  • Beautiful, distinct hand-drawn art style
  • Includes physical map and manual for immersive world-building

Cons

  • High difficulty level may be punishing for casual players
  • Backtracking through interconnected zones can be time-consuming
  • Learning curve for boss battles is intense
  • Lack of explicit quest markers requires careful exploration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Installation: Insert the game card into your Nintendo Switch. If the console is connected to the internet, ensure your system software is updated to the latest version for the best performance.
  • Storage: Keep the physical game card in its case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation or contact scratches.
  • Map Care: The fold-out paper map is high-quality but delicate; avoid folding and unfolding it rapidly to prevent tears along the creases.
  • Controller Preference: While the Joy-Cons work well, many players prefer using the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for its more ergonomic D-pad during high-precision platforming sections.
