TRON: Catalyst’s I/O Tower Now Available on Switch

Sure thing, here it goes:

—

“My user calls. May I pass?” Seriously, what a title. It’s stuck in my head for some reason. Maybe it’s because it sounds like something out of an old-school sci-fi movie. Anyway — wait, where was I?

Ah, right. So, TRON, remember that? The universe from TRON: Legacy, which feels like it’s fresh yet somehow ancient, is expanding. Again. Or, at least, they’re trying to make it interesting with TRON: Catalyst hitting the Nintendo Switch. I mean, Flynn Lives, or maybe he doesn’t? October might clear that up. But till then, Devolver Digital and Bithell Games are dropping this isometric action experience into our laps.

The storyline is, well, it’s set in this digital realm that’s falling apart. I know what you’re thinking — a decaying digital world sounds cliché, but hey, the launch trailer makes it look pretty neat.

So, story deets: You’re Exo. Yeah, like the skeleton but cooler. A courier who, honestly, has the worst luck. A mysterious package blows up and bam, she’s got wicked powers. But don’t get cozy. The Arq Grid’s not-so-friendly peacekeepers are on her tail. Typical, right?

TRON: Catalyst brings you time-looping action. Ever messed up and wished you could hit rewind? Boom, now you can, thanks to the Glitch. Exo dodges, rolls, and glitches around, trying to figure out why this digital world is going to bits. And combat? It’s TRON-style. You’ve got Light Cycles and disc battles—like a dance, if dances involved dismantling foes. Reflect, parry, kick… you get the drill. As if it’s not already bananas, you gather Data Shards to juice up Exo’s code. Kinda like shopping but with more existential dread.

And oh, the story. Exo’s powers tie into this whole Glitch mystery. Conn’s chasing her — he’s this not-so-nice guy. Breaking the loop isn’t just a goal, it’s a lifestyle.

The Arq Grid? It’s got these rain-slicked streets. Figuring out how that works in a computer is above my pay grade, honestly. But it sounds cool. Neon lights, synth beats, and digital chaos. Not kidding, the soundtrack’s the kind that makes you feel something. Can’t really tell what, but it’s intense.

So, yeah. TRON: Catalyst’s ready for action on the Nintendo eShop for $29.99. I’d say check out bigfangames.com if you’re curious or just want to procrastinate.

There you have it. A bit chaotic, a lot TRON, and… well, I’m off to see what other weird things I notice in video game titles.
