Live A Live is easily one of the strangest and memorable RPGs you can play on Nintendo Switch. But ever since launching last year, the Switch exclusive has stubbornly avoided discounts. For the first time in months, Live A Live is on sale for a great price. You can pick up Live A Live for only $40 at Walmart (down from $50).
Live A Live is a Switch-exclusive remake of the original Super Famicom release from 1994. The Switch version sports updated visuals using the “HD 2D” style shared with other recent Square Enix games like Triangle Strategy, a remastered soundtrack by composer Yoko Shimomura, all-new voice acting, and other improvements.
The remake was one of the biggest surprises of 2022, marking the first time the game was officially localized outside of Japan. The original game garnered a cult following thanks to its novel gameplay structure where players play through the eight main characters’ storylines in any order, each featuring its own settings, art style, and even gameplay mechanics. In our Live A Live review, Heidi Kemps awarded the game an 8/10 saying, “almost 30 years later, Live A Live still manages to surprise, subvert, and enthrall.”
Live A Live was also a major influence on the Octopath Traveler series. Octopath Traveler II launched earlier this year, and you can grab the Switch version for $41 at Amazon right now, down from $60.
