Batman Arkham Trilogy, a popular series of games from Rocksteady Studios, made its way to the Nintendo Switch last December. Initially available only as a complete package, the trilogy includes Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight. Recently, Nintendo has introduced a new purchasing option where each of these games can now be bought individually from the Switch eShop.
For those unfamiliar with the series, each game offers a unique adventure into the dark and intense world of Gotham City, where players take on the role of Batman, facing off against his most formidable foes. Batman: Arkham Asylum introduces players to the tense atmosphere of Arkham Asylum, a psychiatric hospital housing Gotham's most dangerous criminals. The sequel, Batman: Arkham City, expands the gameplay area significantly, setting players loose in the sealed-off streets of Gotham's heart. The third installment, Batman: Arkham Knight, further enhances the experience with the addition of the Batmobile and a vast open world to explore.
Choosing to purchase the games individually will cost gamers $24.99 per game. However, there’s an enticing offer for those considering the full experience. The complete trilogy package is currently priced at $29.99, marked down from its regular price, representing a 50% discount. This special price is only available until the 11th of November, making the bundle just $5 more than the cost of a single game, a deal that might appeal to those looking to get the most bang for their buck.
The release of these games on the Switch has garnered mixed reviews, notably with the transition of Arkham Knight to Nintendo's hybrid console being less than smooth. The game was criticized for technical issues that detracted from its gameplay experience, with some reviewers labeling it a "technical disaster". Despite these issues, the first two games were considered solid ports that adapted well to the Switch platform.
