So, you know how sometimes you just stumble upon a game and—boom—you’re kinda hooked? Yeah, that happened to me with this new thing from Jackbox Games. It’s called Doominate, and it’s part of this whole Jackbox Party Pack 11 saga for the Nintendo Switch. Pretty neat, right?
Alright, quick thought—imagine you’re trying to come up with a killer joke but then, bam, someone tosses a monkey wrench right into your punchline. That’s basically the backbone of Doominate. It’s like you’re building this sweet joke, but then someone else comes along and—how do I put it—blows it up? For laughs, though. For laughs!
So, here’s the deal: you and your buddies go head-to-head, twisting each others’ prompts into something totally unexpected. Think of it like a duel, but with jokes. The rest of the crew decides who’s the comedic genius or who totally wiped out that round. It’s as chaotic as it sounds, trust me. There’s just something about crafting the perfect jab and then seeing it get absolutely wrecked by a clever twist. Or maybe that’s just me and my twisted sense of humor. Who even knows?
But wait, there’s a twist to the twist! (Is it just me, or do we love layers in games these days?) In the final act, every player gets this one shot at rescuing their mangled masterpiece. It’s kind of like putting Humpty Dumpty back together. You know, patch things up with a bit of heart. Well, sorta.
Brooke Breit, who’s the mastermind behind this madness, mentioned how it’s awesome with friends, but also kind of a great icebreaker with strangers. It’s like, you either dive into those deep, inside jokes or—surprise—learn all these quirky tidbits about others. It’s like, who knew destroying comedy could bring folks closer, huh?!
Anyway—no, wait, where was I going with this? Right, the game’s dropping on the eShop for the Switch this fall—2025, if you’re marking calendars. Gonna set you back about $29.99 or £24.99, if you’re counting in British pounds. So, I mean, good luck resisting that!
Check out the trailer, maybe? Or don’t. I was just rambling.
