Child of Light Ultimate Edition + Valiant Hearts: The Great War - Nintendo Switch

Child of Light and Valiant Hearts, although two entirely different games, are both fantastic on their own and worthy of being in your Nintendo Switch collection in this dual pack from Ubisoft! We are currently playing through Child of Light (my wife has logged in over 10 hours and feels like she has a lot more to do) and I have finished up Valiant Hearts. It's funny because we bought this originally just to play Child of Light and never heard of Valiant Hearts, but after playing through Valiant Hearts I am glad it was included in this set. Child of Light has great visuals, the gameplay is top-notch and the RPG system is very robust. There are a lot of supportive characters you can unlock that join your party and they all play differently, making choosing your team something you need to add strategy to. Valiant Hearts took me by surprise. It has a very powerful story with lots of fun puzzles to solve. There are also TONS of historical photographs and historical text to read, giving much more gravity to the game itself when you realize how much of it was based on true events during the war. The historical text also adds a lot of context to the story, helping you understand who is fighting who and the direction the war was going in along the way. I finished this one feeling way more educated about the war than when I started it. For two award-winning games in one set, this is one you should not pass up! NOTE: Both games are featured on one cartridge. When you place the cartridge into the Switch, both Child of Light and Valiant Hearts icons appear (as two separate icons) on your Switch home screen.

Child of Light has a very unique, yet so familiar style of gameplay. It pulls aspects from a few different titles, and most of which are more so platformers versus your traditional rpg. While the battle mechanics are very much a mix of classic style of turn-based badassery and has a lot of pretty flare to back it all up. The story is also pretty interesting, for the most part. By the end of the game I was very much satisfied with my experience and see myself revisiting this title in the future. Glad to have a physical copy of it, even if it is split with another title. And speaking of...I have yet to actually check out Valiant Hearts. While I have read some pretty decent things about it, I think that it definitely looks interesting enough for me to be able to let hours waste away within it’s world. If you’re a collector and like to have your digital games sitting proudly upon your shelf here in the physical realm, then pick this collection of a solid rpg and unique indie gem up!

Valiant Hearts was a great game that take you through the real horror of war. It has story telling and visuals, especially if you like the art style. Child of light is also a great game. The gameplay and visuals are great in this game as well. I also love how the turn based rpg is used in this game. Id say this 2 in 1 bundle is a great pick up. Bonus points for both games being on the same cartridge, as most switch 2 in 1 games have one of the games as a downloadable code.

This package includes two great indie style games from a major publisher (Ubisoft). They're a bit old at this point, but still absolutely worth a purchase in physical format. Child of Light is a beautifully illustrated RPG with a female protagonist in a typically male dominated fantasy setting. Valiant Hearts is more of a point/click type of adventure game with a great story about the folly of war. Excellent choices in the package as a whole!

Valiant is probably one of the most amazing adventure game that you can play on your Switch other than the Zelda games. It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster while offering a lot of historical facts about the era. Regarding Child of Light, it is still a fun game, but it's a shame they mention it is co-op because it barely is. Don't expect a fun experience for both players, regardless it is an entertaining game!

Child of Light is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. It tells such a simple story (though all rhyming) yet the presentation is top tier. It is heartwarming and filled with beautiful atmosphere and characters I won't forget. But the combat is just as unique with meter that acts as a turn order that is manipulatable. Valiant Hearts is also an emotionally strong story told through a short and memorable romp.

Prior to this release, there was no physical release for Valiant Hearts and the only physical release for Child of Light was on the Vita and it didn't include the DLC on the cart. That alone makes this a great game to get for collectors. However, when you add in the fact that both of these games are stellar games well worth the money and the fact that combo is only $40 USD brand new without a sale, it's hard to argue against this. This is especially true for those that find the game in a good discount.

In this package, you'll receive two critically acclaimed Ubisoft "indie" games. These aren't full blown AAA games like Assassin's Creed or Far Cry, but they are both worth your attention. Child of Light is a colorful Japanese RPG, while Valiant Hearts is a wonderful game about stories from World War I. And since this package is on the Nintendo Switch, both games are perfect to be played "on the go." Grab this title and enjoy both excellent games.
