Reptilian Rising (Switch)

When genocidal Reptilians invade from out of time, only the greatest heroes in history can stop them. Reptilian Rising for the Nintendo Switch is a totally tubular turn-based strategy adventure that tasks you with assembling an elite team of humanity’s best. From the scientific brilliance of Albert Einstein to the regal leadership of Cleopatra, you must recruit famous figures to form a diverse and powerful squad. This journey takes you across seven distinct time periods, from the dawn of man to the distant future, as you fight to defeat a reptilian uprising that threatens the very existence of our species.

The gameplay features a distinctive retro tabletop aesthetic, presenting battles as if someone animated a collection of retro miniatures on top of hand-built dioramas. This charming claymation vibe brings a unique visual flair to the deep turn-based combat. You will need to master tactical positioning and unique unit abilities to overcome bizarre adversaries such as laser raptors, malevolent manborgs, and the terrifying Dictatorsaur—a three-headed dinosaur hybrid. The strategic depth is enhanced by time-manipulation mechanics, allowing you to use time energy to create clones, call in reinforcements, or open time-gates to outmanoeuvre the scaly invaders.

Reptilian Rising is designed with high replayability in mind, featuring mission branching and various bonus objectives for every era. As you progress, you can uncover hidden secrets tucked away in the nooks and crannies of history and refine your team’s tactics with a strategic upgrade system involving powerful artefacts. Whether you are playing in handheld mode or on your television, the responsive tactics and quirky scenarios ensure an endlessly entertaining journey through the timeline. Stand your ground against the Ouroboros and prove that humanity's greatest minds are a match for any prehistoric threat.
