The Swapper landing on Vita, 6 August

I'm pretty keen on this spacey-explorer game from Facepalm, which has a slight vibe of the excellent iOS hit,Waking Mars. The Swapper will be cross-buy on PS4, PS3 and Vita for £11.99, with just one month to wait, so you can enjoy the sparkling visuals on the small and big screen.

It features an isolated and atmospheric sci-fi world where players wield an experimental device which allows them to create clones of themselves, swapping their entire consciousness into new bodies to overcome the challenges created by the environment. Players must:

  • Think: Fiendishly designed puzzles with equally clever solutions that are never more than a few steps away. 
  • Wonder: The art in The Swapper is constructed using clay models and everyday materials, which combine to create truly unique visuals in a detailed and atmospheric environment. 
  • Discover: A powerful and thoughtful story, told through the game's environment with narrative design.
