The title Spaceflight Simulator on Nintendo Switch suggests a blend of the physical and electronic experience of gaming. Unlike its other versions, it brings in a tangible element of gameplay that fills in the gap between players and the gaming world.

Gameplay

Taking a closer look at the gameplay, you'll notice it has been perfectly adapted for the Nintendo Switch with Spaceflight Simulator. The vehicle-building features are as intricate as ever with the addition of Switch’s handheld controls bringing a new dimension to it. Comparatively, a title like Kerbal Space Program which also has a focus on spacecraft construction, offers similar mechanics but the ease and hand-held feel of the Switch makes Spaceflight Simulator stand out. The game lets you build multi-stage rockets, satellites or even lunar bases according to one's preference.

Sound and Graphics

The sound design brilliantly compliments the gameplay giving you the feeling of an authentic space launch. The graphics on the Spaceflight Simulator on Switch has seen a noticeable improvement over the older versions. Drawing a comparison with Elite Dangerous, another space-flight simulation game, the graphics are equally detailed, portraying the vastness of space, but the handheld Nintendo Switch gives this game a different level of immersion and portability.

Level Design

The level design boasts impressive scales where players can explore a multitude of planets and moons, which all provide unique challenges. Contrasting with No Man’s Sky, another galaxy exploration title, Spaceflight Simulator, presents a more realistic depiction of space. The Switch version further enhances this experience with the freedom to play anywhere.

What's New?

• Planetary Extensions - Larger celestial bodies provide a more diverse exploration experience.
• Mission Packs - Provides players with new missions, maintaining the excitement of gameplay.
• New Parts - The addition of new parts allows players to build custom rockets that are even more intricate.

Overall Changes From Previous Installments

Last but not least, there have been some notable changes from the previous versions. For one, the Nintendo Switch version offers a better gaming experience with the handheld and docked modes. Enhancements have also been made to the physics engine, providing a more realistic spaceflight experience. However, at it's core, Spaceflight Simulator maintains its ethos of providing a fun-filled learning experience about space exploration.
