The first mode is called bombs and it is the closest that this game could have to a campaign. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes only has two modes, but they fit their purpose very well. Of course, there will be successes and there will be failures and both ends result in an amazing experience that goes great at a party, where you and your friends can put your friendship to the test. Playing a challenge, whether you have 1 diffuser and 1 expert or have 1 diffuser and many experts, will always lead to tension, arguments, funny comments and many other strange situations that are always fun to be a part of (and watch). The experts can’t see the bomb, so if you want to succeed, you will need to start talking and work together.Īt first, this gameplay concept sounded brilliant, when I first heard about it a few years ago and I’m pleased to say, it holds very well when you play it. The problem with this though, is that one person, (known as the Diffuser,) is the one who must manage the bomb and disarm it, but the instructions to do so, are actually given to the rest of your team, aka the experts. (In some configurations, you can’t make any mistakes). Your group is tasked with disarming before you run out of time and whilst trying to make the least amount of mistakes as possible. The basic premise behind Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, is that a bomb has been set up and it is ready to explode. But things soon changed, for come August 2018, the VR requirement was being dropped and a non-VR version got the chance to debut on Switch. Developed and published by Steel Crates Games, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes was originally made with VR technology in mind and released on Windows, whilst requiring the use of VR gear, before releasing on all VR capable platforms available. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a local co-op only game (the experience totally falls apart when played alone), in a similar manner to those that already arrived on Switch, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t stand out. Nintendo, for example, made the Switch with local co-op in mind and many games that emphasize local multiplayer have arrived already, such as both Overcooked! games and 1-2-Switch, and they showcase how this function is still excellent in this modern era. However, there are many fine gaming examples, most of them from the Indie scene that are targeting to keep this gameplay style alive and well. With many AAA companies and games moving their co-op experiences online, it is very easy to think that local co-op is an experience that belongs in the past, remaining as a faded memory from the NES or SNES era. Keep talking…until your friend/friends, understand you, or you explode!
