After a month-long hiatus in Nintendo Switch, I've finally decided to get my console and buy this game in the nearest store that we have. I saw the trailer of this game and got interested in the Mosou style combat which is one of my favorite genres. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity is a good way to refresh your memory with the Switch's masterpiece, a breath of the wild. Although this is a prequel and you already know what will happen in the end, It still surprised me how well the story was pulled off without even spoiling too much. You should play this game if you enjoyed playing the BOTW. trust me, the characters and their backstory will blow your mind. The varieties with different attacks, weapons, and combos are too satisfying. It is almost a miracle that this game runs well on a tiny console Switch. Kudos to Nintendo for another masterpiece.
