Save Koch

As it is, I feel like I have to genuinely and methodically take notes of where each failure lies so as not to do it again, barring the fact that a mole and mastermind, or a grapple with a persnickety UI, won’t heck up my plans anyways. Save Koch is impressive in the weight of its narrative choices, but a little cushioning could have gone a long way in making unraveling its mystery more enticing.

Save Koch can be an exciting and challenging journey through the criminal underworld, where each choice can determine your fate and each session brings a unique move. However, be prepared to face limitations due to few and simple mechanics in the game and possible technical problems.

Save Koch is a perfect game to be played with other people in order to take decisions and discover the mole and the mastermind behind the Koch's assassination attempt. Also it is highly replayable because each new game will be a new adventure with different moles and masterminds. If you are a casual gamer this game is addressed to you.

While it offers colorful characters, a bit of strategy, and some story there’s a bit too much repetition and waiting involved

While it has a nice premise and ambitious goals with its social deduction, several frustrating problems drag down Save Koch.

Save Koch is an absorbing story with well-written characters and a genuinely engaging mystery.

Since The Sopranos, crime families are cool. Fictitious ones, of course. From the GTA series through to the more literal Mafia 2, playing one of the bosses in one of these most feared families gives you enormous power and control. That is unless you are being hunted down with only so long to live. Enter Save Koch.

Save Koch on the Nintendo Switch has some promising elements and indeed, the game's world is an interesting one and its dialogues are quite amusing. Nonetheless, the way the game is played turns out to be disappointing, mostly because there's no sense of orientation - Save Koch does a poor job when it comes to transmitting what is expected of the players, and the missions' sense of arbitrary order and a basis of trial and error make this game a somewhat clumsy experience.

Save Koch is definitely a unique indie game to keep an eye on with its intense procedurally generated mystery-based campaign.

Save Koch has an intriguing setup, but the repetitiveness of its gameplay and complicated characters ultimately ruin the entire experience.
