Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome game. If you want a great story with complex characters then check this out. Worth every penny.

Aegis Rim is unlike any game I've played before. It mixes a few different genres and yet manages to have a captivating story. Visually unique, too. really enjoying this gem. Definitely for folk looking for a weaving, detailed story (where you always need to pay attention) alongside strategy gameplay that can challenge.

One of the best stories in recent memory. Well worth the pickup if it's your style of game.

While this game may not be for everyone, the art direction and overall style cannot be ignored. Way more in-depth game than I thought it would be. This is more than just an interactive novel.

amazing game - unexpected format - and really shines on the switch.

Beautifully told and was very engaging. It runs really great on the Switch.

Most reviews are right saying you should go into this game as blind as possible so nothing gets spoiled for you. That being said, the game is set up such that you follow 13 individual stories. These sections are the visual novel portions, and there is no real game play other than moving your character to new areas and advancing dialogue with the A button. The combat sections of the game are real time combat experiences via individual stages that you select. They’re required to complete as certain stories will only advance once these stages are done. Even on the normal difficulty the battles aren’t hard, but you do have the option to change the difficulty at any point. You also have the ability to upgrade your characters, and these new skills make clearing levels even easier. It’s a game well worth playing, and it’s a very enjoyable experience from start to finish.

The game is great!! The Story have many different ending!

Pretty fun narrative driven rpg. Runs well on the switch!

Waited about 2 years for a switch release and it finally came through! Just started the game but I’m few hours in.. visually the game is great, music/voices are all so amazing and the gameplay itself is to me is more complex since it’s mostly an interactive game and partly a strategy-based battles, which is a plus to me because it serves to keep you entertained while progressing into the plot without being burnt out from the many dialogue reads you have to go through. If you’re a fan of sci-fi, visual novels but more into interactive point and click (90’s games like Monkey island, Grim Fandango), mech battles.. then this is one of those games I’d highly recommend!

Fantastic game from start to finish that focuses on 13 protagonists with awesome story, graphics and music. Game plays great on the go and includes some bonuses not available on the PS4 version. Highly Recommended!

Great game play, story, and visually stunning on the Switch OLED. Here's to hoping the rest of Vanillaware's games get ported to the switch!

Whether you like good stories, good voice acting, or good RTS/tower defense/turn-based combat, this is a game for you. It's a game that anyone interested should play at least one because the experience is just that unique and incredible. Watching someone else play this particular game is just not the same as having the freedom to make your own gaming decisions, coming up with your own theories, and formulating your own game plan at your own pace. It is one of the only games I've played that had me thinking about the game's story for weeks after I finished the main game.

This game doesn’t disappoint! Prior to purchasing this game, I watched SwitchUp review on Youtube. They’re my go to channel on Switch game reviews.

If you like Terminator, Pacific Rim, War of the Worlds, Twin Peaks or any sci-fi thing from the 80s and 90s, this game is for you. Try not to read anything before playing. Keep in mind that there is a lot of anime tropes and lots of reading. English dub is fantastic.

At first I was not sure I would enjoy this game. Realized I was wrong.

This is a port of a previous gen game. It runs really well on the Switch

I’ve been playing this for a couple weeks and about 15 hours in. It’s is very intricate and well written. I don’t want to explain much because knowing less while going into this game will allow for a better experience.

There is so much to this game the variety is fun. I was quick to give this game a chance when heard there were kaijus and mechs :)

Awesome game for the switch! It good story line and cool graphics
