Clever Plays, a Montreal-based independent game studio, today announced that its award-winning asymmetrical co-op spy adventure Operation: Tango is coming to the Nintendo Switch platform. Previously released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox X/S Series, as well as being a June 2021 PS Plus selection, Operation: Tango is slated for launch on the Switch on August 1st for $19.99, which includes a complimentary Friend Pass.
Operation: Tango plays out much like a virtual escape room, bonding players in the process. One player takes on the role of Angel, the “Field Agent”, while the other plays as Alistair, the “Hacker.” Playing from separate devices, each player enjoys a unique experience. The pair must work together, in constant verbal contact, and linked in an augmented, fully connected, and highly stylized world to solve puzzles and complete each high-stakes mission.
The game takes its tagline, “It Takes Two to Save the World”, to heart, in that only by sharing the vantage points of each role can players overcome the many challenges that stand between them and completing each mission. The resulting experience is more like an in-person game night or team challenge. The Switch version features reimagined puzzle solutions and all the previously released bonus content.
Players hosting the game can invite a friend to join them for free via their game platform, where applicable. However, to host a game, players must own a copy of Operation: Tango. The game is cross-play compatible across systems.
