Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Dubsteps Its Way On To The Nintendo Switch

News: As President of the United States, it is your job to wipe out an alien invasion that is threatening Earth with some old friends.

It is time to get back in to the dubstep groove as Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected for Switch is fully charged with an impressive 25 pieces of outlandish DLC to offer the total package of high-octane gameplay and craziness that we have come to expect from the Saints.

Taking the story of the Third Street Saints to a level out of this world, the boss of the Saints gang has been elected as President of the United States of America and charged with saving everyone from a deadly alien invasion. This super-charged edition of the much-loved series has to be seen to be believed.

Deep Silver Fishlabs handled the conversion to Switch and the game runs flawlessly at native 720p resolution in handheld mode and 1080p when docked. Players can enable dynamic resolution to achieve a stable 30fps, although in this mode resolution will be varied in intensive gameplay situations in order to keep framerate consistent.

The much-lauded gyro aim feature for Switch will be included in the digital version from the start and via the day one update for retail copies. Enabled by default, this can be switched off and on depending on player preference.

In case you aren’t familiar with Saints Row IV, the basic premise is below:

”The boss of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States and must save everyone on Earth, but the Saints are only getting started. After a catastrophic alien invasion of Earth, led by the evil Overlord Zinyak, the Saints have been transported to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. With homies new and old at their side and an arsenal of superpowers and strange weapons, they must fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp.

The Saints have gone from the crackhouse to the Penthouse, to The White House – but now it’s up to you to free the world from Zinyak and his alien empire, saving the world in the wildest open world game ever, playable for the first time on Nintendo Switch.”

Some of the key features in Saints Row IV: Re-Elected include the following:

The American Dream – Play as the President of the United States in a wild story that spans countries, time, and space. It’s up to you to free the world, now for the first time on Nintendo Switch.

Super Hero-in-Chief – Leap over buildings. Destroy people with your mind. Run through tanks. Those are just some of the powers on offer that you can wield in your quest.

Alien Toys of Destruction - Wield an impressive array of alien vehicles and weapons. The Inflato-Ray, the Polarizer, the Disintegrator, and many more are all are yours to utilize.

Custom Weapons, Custom Mayhem – You’ve customized your character. You’ve customized your clothes. Now you also have a powerful weapon customization system.

Dynamic Duo - Seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op, a Saints Row standard, now improved. The only thing better than one malicious super-powered President is two.

Fully Re-Elected – Saints Row IV: Re-Elected contains an impressive 25 DLC Packs, including the Dubstep Gun (Remix) Pack, the Presidential Pack, the Commander-In-Chief Pack, and two celebrated episodic story expansions: Enter The Dominatrix and How The Saints Save Christmas.
