We have good news for Octodad fans who also happen to own a Switch, as it has been revealed that Octodad: Dadliest Catch will be coming to Nintendo’s new console next week. The release date is set for November 9 via the Nintendo eShop, developer Young Horses revealed.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Octodad: Dadliest Catch has you taking control of an octopus that is trying to live the life of a traditional human family man. However, there are those out there that mean to do him harm, so he needs to keep up his charade at all costs to avoid being taken away. The following is a brief synopsis:
“Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about his life. Octodad’s existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family.
In this sequel to the splash hit Octodad, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium! Are you dad enough to control the titular octopus father as he strives to hide his nautical nature from his family while keeping his tangled tentacles intact?”
Octodad originally launched for PC and PS4 in 2014, but has since come to several other platforms. The game received generally positive reviews on other platforms, with most adoring the game’s humor and charm. However, most also agree that, despite the controls being intentionally crazy, it still results in gameplay that gets a little too irritating at points.
