You guys have got to check out this review from Nintendo Life on Granblue Fantasy: Relink's Switch 2 port — Endless Ragnarok — because Cygames has been pulling off these console spinoffs for years and this one is genuinely special! They started with Shadowverse getting its own Champion’s Battle spin-off, then Battle Champs got Little Noah: Scion of Paradise, and Dragalia Lost went the route too. Now their flagship mobile RPG, which've been running strong since 2014, became Relink in 2024, and they just ported it to Switch 2 as this Endless Ragnarok edition that plays beautifully on portable hardware with stunning visuals. You play The Captain and Lyria — who has the power to capture and summon godlike creatures via a life link — sailing an airship called the Grandcypher through Skylands towards Estalucia while fighting off the Pilgrims of Avia. They kidnap Lyria for her powers, and you get about fifteen hours of gameplay tracking them down across beautiful set pieces with some of the most visually impressive boss fights I've seen in a long time. The story is honest enough — it's basically an anime-trope package that would confuse someone who hasn't played the mobile version since it sets off way after those events, and you get the classic loud sidekick and power-of-friendship finale beat — but honestly who cares when the spectacle is this good.
The combat system is where it really shines and keeps me coming back for more because it blends Kingdom Hearts hack 'n' slash with Dynasty Warriors style mob clearing in a way that feels deep instead of shallow! You always play as one hero plus three others piloted by competent AI or filled via online/local wireless so you're rocking a full party on every mission. Every character has unique kit — Eustace fires from distance building up special ammo meter, Yodarha dual-wields and earns combo marks he can spend for massive multipliers — with dozens of characters that genuinely change how the same encounter plays out. You have light/heavy attack combos, a skill menu with cooldown caps, and the crowd-favorite Link Attacks and Chain Bursts which are basically screen-clearing finishers you time to maximize damage across your whole party composition. The postgame is purely mission-based where you cycle through bosses for drops and test different team combinations — which keeps it fresh even after grinding out repetition — because every character plays so differently that a new party always feels like a refresh of the loop. It's exactly the kind of game that should have been on Switch 2 from day one, and I can see why they ported it with both hands.
