They’re reportedly shoddier than the original While I adored my time with the Switch, one of my biggest problems was how cheaply the dock component was crafted. It’s wobbly at times, and although I haven’t had any major problems getting my Switch in and out (some report scratching), the thing just doesn’t feel quality in any way, shape, or form.

Seems a bomb was dropped to finish one war, but it unexpectedly started another. The unlucky beneficiary is anyone that picks up theCall of Duty: Advanced WarfareDLC, as now there are jetpacking zombies to contend with. Delightful.

Now you may experience it on Android this week. WhileChinatown Warswas released previously on iOS devices, but it wasn’t fully optimized and it wasn’t a universal app for tablets and phones — both of those changes have also been made this week, as well as controller support....

The game looks like a labor of love and the story sounds like it’ll be as zany as the works that inspired it....
