Test Chamber – The Swapper
The Metrodvania trope tends to be thrown around whenever a 2D perspective and a sprawling map are used in a game. At first glance, The Swapper may appear to fit this mold. Looks can be deceiving, however. The Swapper isn't about shooting enemies or unearthing upgrades. There's very little "action" in this game. The focus is instead on testing the player's wits.
Reviewer Dan Ryckert recruited Jeff Cork to investigate this game's fiendish puzzles, which all revolve around the titular Swapper gun, a device capable of cloning its wielder up to four times. Watch below to see if Cork has what it takes to solve these brainteasers.
