With many of the Wii U's best titles coming to the Switch it was only a matter of time before the popular action game Hyrule Warriors hacked its way on to Nintendo's hit hybrid console. In a lot of ways it's a perfect fit.
You can easily get your fill in small 20-minute gaming sessions mowing down hordes of enemies on the bus, and you can easily lose an hour completing missions from the comfort of your couch with the Switch sitting safely in its dock.
It may look like a mind-numbing distraction, where the only goal is to look cool wielding a sword while unrelenting armies constantly bombard you. And you can play it like that. For a while anyway. But soon enough, elements of strategy will have to come in to play if you want to progress.
On the surface this appears to be a basic hack-and-slash but in reality it becomes more like a fast-paced version of the board game Risk.
However, I did find the locations a bit too maze-like, and needed to rely on the map to get around. In high-pressure situations, running to the next area only to see you are going the wrong way can get frustrating.
