Announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct showcase, Genius Sonority’s The New Denpa Men is now available to download from the Switch eShop.
We say “download” and not “buy” because it’s completely free. Although you’ll need to explore dungeons and fight monsters to collect your Denpa Men, there’s also plenty of time to chill out and decorate your island and customize your outfits.
Local play for up to four players is also supported, so you can join in a co-op session to capture special Denpa Men. Overall, it’s not a bad deal for a free game.
Here’s the official explanation:
What are Denpa Men? Denpa Men are mysterious creatures born from the radio waves that fly around you. Each Denpa Men has different information, so each one is unique. They cannot be found with the naked eye, but you can find and catch them using “THE NEW DENPA MEN”. “THE NEW DENPA MEN” is an RPG where you can make them your companions and go on an adventure.
Let’s go on an adventure Add the Denpa Men you want to adventure with to your party. Each Denpa Men has its own characteristics, and each stage you adventure in has its own characteristics, so we recommend forming a party that suits the stage. In addition to the main stage that you can enjoy at any time, there are also event stages that are open for a limited time, and extra stages that are unlocked when certain conditions are met. You may find treasure chests and secret passages during your adventure. Monsters await you within the stage. Battles are easy to control (you can also give individual instructions) and proceed smoothly.
In addition to RPG elements such as adventure and character development, the game also has a wide variety of content, including your own island, island decoration elements, fishing, battling other players’ parties, “Catch Together” where up to four players can play with nearby players, and “Voucher Collection” where you collect “vouchers” dropped by monsters at the end of battle.
