The craziest game of recent years is back on Nintendo Switch, this time! High On Life, developed by Squanch Games, the studio co-founded by Justin Roiland (co-creator of Rick and Morty), awaits you on Big N's latest digital release on May 6, 2025.
This subjective-view action-adventure fuses wacky science fiction and absurdist humor, all in a psychedelic graphic style. Already released in 2022 on other platforms, High On Life is getting a second life on Nintendo's handheld console.
You play the role of an intergalactic bounty hunter on a very special mission: to dismantle an alien cartel that has found a new drug... humanity. Yes, the aliens are drugging humans, and you're the only one who can stop them.
It's against this zany backdrop that you'll be guided (or manhandled) by an arsenal of chatty guns, each with their own temperament, capable of commenting on your every move.
If you like rich, vibrant worlds, High On Life has plenty to keep you busy. You'll traverse a lush alien jungle, a tropical paradise dripping with color, or a futuristic city nestled in an asteroid. Each world is an evolving hunting ground, where your choices and play style influence the atmosphere.
Nervous, inventive gameplay relies on weapons with specific capabilities, and forces you to change strategy depending on the enemies or challenges encountered.
Good news for fans of boxed versions: a physical edition called High On Life: Game of the Year Edition is also on the program. Offered by Limited Run Games, it will be available for pre-order from April 22, 2025, for those nostalgic for the physical medium or fans wishing to proudly display the game in their geek library.
If you're a fan of absurdist humor, a FPS like no other, or simply curious about an out-of-this-world intergalactic adventure, this is the game for you. Whether you're playing solo on the move, in couch mode with friends to laugh at the twisted lines, or in a more laid-back atmosphere, High On Life is an experience that fits perfectly with the portability of the Nintendo Switch.
So, ready to chat with your gun while saving humanity from an interstellar trip? The hunt begins on May 6, 2025!
