Review of “My Night Job” for Nintendo Switch

My Night Job developed by Webcore Games and Soft Source takes you on a thrilling ride through a spooky mansion in a classic arcade-style beat ’em up adventure. In our review of this vibrant title, we dive into what makes it a game worth exploring!

Imagine being caught in a place teeming with sinister creatures, where your main goal is to fend them off using any weapon you can find. Whether it’s helping people escape or defending rooms against monstrous hordes, there’s always something demanding your attention. The game boasts over 60 different weapons, encouraging you to experiment and find that perfect tool to keep the threat at bay. Survival demands constant vigilance—fail, and you’re back to square one. It’s a throwback to the adrenaline-pumping action of classic games and the eerie vibes of 1980s horror flicks.

Getting started is a breeze: control your character with the left stick or D-Pad, leap into action with the B button, and unleash attacks using the Y button. An A button dash might just save you from a nasty blow, while the shoulder buttons let you zip left or right to dodge danger. Ducking with the down direction could be your saving grace against an upper-body attack. Plus, don’t forget to rummage through boxes for weapons, a quick upward press could arm you with just what you need to fend off the next threat!

As you navigate the haunted halls, rescuing people is crucial—they’ll join your motley crew, and some might even fight back as you guide them to the chopper, whisking them to safety. The more you save, the juicier the rewards, from cash boosts to power-ups like med kits or a high-caliber gun. This arsenal upgrade can be essential when you’re face-to-face with larger, meaner monsters.

My Night Job’s creepy aesthetics and its vibrant homage to the bygone era of horror and action keep the adrenaline high. It’s out now on the Nintendo Switch, priced at $12.99, and challenges you to see just how long you can persist against its relentless monsters and chaotic challenges.

In essence, My Night Job isn’t just about survival—it’s about thriving against odds and stacking up those high scores on the leaderboards. Will you be able to protect everyone in that eerie mansion?
