Review of “My Night Job” for Nintendo Switch

Webcore Games and Soft Source bring you “My Night Job,” an arcade-style beat ’em up that plunges you into a spooky, monster-infested building. Intrigued? Let’s delve into what makes this game tick in our comprehensive My Night Job review!

Picture this: you’re thrown into a spine-tingling scenario where your mission is to fend off endless waves of monsters using an array of weapons at your disposal. Your tasks are as varied as they are thrilling—whether it’s rescuing hapless victims or safeguarding rooms from monstrous invasions. With over 60 weapons to choose from, experimenting to find your perfect monster-smashing tool is part of the adventure! Keep your wits about you, though, because if your health depletes or the beasts obliterate numerous rooms, it’s back to square one. The game draws its inspiration from timeless action games and the chilling vibes of 1980s horror flicks.

As you jump into the game, you’ll find yourself mastering controls swiftly using the left analog stick or the D-Pad for movement. A simple press of the B button launches your character into the air, while the Y button lets you unleash attacks on your foes. Need to make a quick getaway? The A button comes in handy for dashing away from danger. You can also make strategic dashes to either side using the L and R buttons. Stay alert and duck when needed by pressing down on the left analog stick or the D-Pad. This might just help you evade those sneaky upper-body attacks. Exploring the environment is essential—check boxes for weaponry using the up direction on your controls and hope for something good!

On your journey through the mansion, you’ll encounter people who need your help. Successfully rescuing them means they can join your party, and some might even have the chops to fend off the creatures. Getting them safely to the waiting chopper not only feels rewarding but also earns you bonuses. With each successful rescue, bonuses could range from extra cash to boost your leaderboard ranking, to med kits that patch up your wounds. Occasionally, you might snag a powerful, albeit limited-ammo, gun—perfect for those formidable monsters itching to end your night early!

“My Night Job” challenges you to survive and thrive in this arcade romp set in a chilling atmosphere. Packed to the brim with over 60 weapons and riveting objectives, how long can you fend off the darkness before it consumes you? With its Nintendo Switch release priced at $12.99, it’s a thrilling offer for those seeking an adrenaline-pumping adventure.

Wondering if you have what it takes to save everyone trapped in the mansion?
