Developer Relative Games has announced its customizable shmup, CounterAttack Uprising, will be arriving on Nintendo Switch in the third quarter of 2023. The game was originally released in 2019 for PC, and later made its way to XBox.

The pictures and video suggest CounterAttack Uprising is your typical bullet-hell shooter, so what does the “customizable” part mean? It first means you have the ability to choose from eight different characters, each with their own unique ship, but it gets more in-depth from there. As you play the game, you’ll unlock new weapons, powers and upgrades, and can modify your ship any way you like. There are over 600 attachments to find, meaning no two games will be the same.

“Being on a Nintendo console is a dream come true,” says Tyler Boyes, founder of Relative Games. “To mark the occasion, the Switch port of CounterAttack is introducing a new subtitle – Uprising – which puts the spotlight on the game’s sprawling narrative. Once we launch on Switch, all other versions will get the Uprising moniker as well.”

Choose from 8 playable characters, each with their own unique ship.
Fight your way through 32+ levels and almost the same number of bosses!
Assemble your fighter from special weapons, upgrades, and 600+ attachments.
Enjoy true co-op gameplay with 2-4 players online and 1-4 players local co-op – including crossplay.
Put together your own missions and levels using the game’s unique campaign/level editor.
Challenge yourself with three Endless survival modes.

The Switch version of CounterAttack Uprising is expected to launch sometime this fall. The price is unknown, but on Steam and XBox its regular price is $14.99.

I've been a fan since it first came out on PC. The new subtitle, "Uprising," hints at an expanded narrative that I'm eager to explore. The best part is the game's replayability - with endless combinations of weapons and upgrades, every playthrough will be different. Im sure Switch users will love it.

CounterAttack: Uprising seems perfect for my gaming style. The fast-paced action, multiplayer co-op, and the ability to create custom missions with the level editor are all right up my alley. Plus, the fact that it runs smoothly on the Nintendo Switch in both docked and portable mode makes it even more appealing. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out!

I'm thrilled that CounterAttack: Uprising is making its way to the Nintendo Switch. The game's nostalgic space shooter gameplay and the challenge of fighting against the "Automatons" sound like an exciting experience. With the new additions and improvements, like the redesigned player selector and new levels, it seems like the perfect time to join the Uprising. I'm ready to dive into the action!

There is no dull moment in the game development industry in recent times. They are always out to find out for ways where they can provide more fun and adventure to the users. It's so many new exciting features and so much to customise. And no two games would be same... that's thrilling. It would be fun to play through the 32 levels

I do not have an access to a switch game, but i am very sure i would be able to find an emulator that i can play it on. Though i usually find these kinds of shooter games abit hard to play, but i guess i have never really put my mind into it.

I love the challenge of finding new games to play, and I'm always looking for the next big thing. I'm also a sucker for customization, and I love being able to make my games my own. No two games are ever the same, and that's what makes it so much fun. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the game development industry.
