by Announced during the latest Nintendo Direct, Genius Sonority’s The New Denpa Men is available to download now via the Switch eShop.
We say “download” rather than “buy” because, well, it’s completely free. You’ll have to explore dungeons and fight monsters as you work to recover the Denpa Men, but you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to relax by decorating your island and customizing your outfits.
4-player local play is also supported, allowing you to join in co-op sessions to catch special Denpa Men. Overall, it’s not a bad deal for a free-to-play game.
Here’s a look at the official description:
What are Denpa Men? – Denpa Men are mysterious creatures born from the radio waves that fly around you. Each radio wave carries different information, so each Denpa Men is unique (one of a kind). You can’t find them with the naked eye, but you can find and catch them using THE NEW DENPA MEN. THE NEW DENPA MEN is an RPG where you make them your companions and go on adventures.
Let’s go on an adventure – Add the Denpa men you want to adventure with to your party. Each Denpa man has his own characteristics, and each stage you venture on has its own characteristics, so we recommend forming a party that is appropriate for the stage. In addition to the main stage that you can enjoy at any time, there are also event stages that are open for a limited time and additional stages that open when certain conditions are met. You can find treasure chests and secret passages during your adventure. Monsters await you inside the stages. Battles are quick and easy with simple commands (you can also give individual instructions).
There are many other elements besides the adventure – In addition to RPG elements such as adventure and character development, there is also a wide range of content including decoration elements for your own island and the island, fishing, battles with other players’ parties, “Together Catch” with up to four players playing in close proximity, and “Voucher Collection” to collect “Vouchers” dropped by monsters at the end of the battle.
We’ll be sure to share our full thoughts on The New Denpa Men in our review very soon.
