Graphically, 1971 Project Helios looks great on the Switch.  Yes the Switch is the least powerful of the consoles on the market.  But 1971 Project Helios still manages to pull off a visually compelling dystopic future that is both bleak and fascinating to explore.  If we had any gripes with 1971 Project Helios it’s with the fact that progression is pretty linear and there’s virtually no reward for straying off the proven track and just taking a look around.  We would also like to have had some more control over the camera.  You can move the camera around the map but, sadly, are unable to zoom in or out on the action.  Given the limited processing power of the Nintendo Switch, this is probably a necessary evil.  But it’s a regrettable one.  Those minor niggles aside, 1971 Project Helios is a challenging and fun strategy title that will satisfy for your hunger for turn-based combat on the Switch. Go buy.
