Dadish 3D (Switch): COMPLETED!

Not part of the Dadish Collection but I felt, having completed all those, I just had to give it a go.

It’s exactly what you think it is – it’s the same game again, but in 3D. Same characters, same plot, even similar level themes, but being 3D it feels different.

I have to say, that the platforming doesn’t work as well here. As is often the case with 3D platformers, judging distance is hard and in Dadish 3D usually means die-and-retry, so it’s more frustrating than I’d like.

It’s still OK, but not as enjoyable as the 2D games.

Dadish 3 (Switch): COMPLETED!

And.. again. Once more it’s the same only different, with a few tweaks (underwater physics) and new bosses, but otherwise – Dadish is finding his stupid kids again across tricky platforming worlds. And it’s just as good as it was before.

Dadish 2 (Switch): COMPLETED!

Almost everything I said about the first game applies here. It’s pretty much just new levels for the same game, with some added space physics for one of the worlds.

It’s clearly the same engine and same graphics, but if it ain’t broke, right?

Dadish (Switch): COMPLETED!

I’d seen this game get gradually cheap and cheaper on the eShop but never bit, until two sequels came out and were bundled together and then reduced. Look, cheap things come to those who wait.

Dadish – a radish who is a dad, obviously – has to navigate a load of platforming challenges to save his many, many kids. You can jump, and double jump, and that’s it, but there are a good variety of levels and gimmicks with usual platform game features like spikes, springs and moving platforms.

There’s nothing outstanding here, but it is a solid, well made game with some really funny conversations between Dadish and both his kids and the characters you meet. Levels are tricky but never frustrating, and unlike the thousand other games on the eShop that are superficially similar, it nails the physics and collision detection which are essential to the genre but broken so often.

Now onto the sequel!

Anyone play any of the #Dadish games on #NintendoSwitch ?

I already played the 1st two games, and just got the 3rd one. If you're interested, know this: it's far harder than the first two, and noticeably so. More of the same basic mechanics with a few variations, still the same witty dialogue & wildly easy bosses to offset the severely more difficult levels.
