Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx for Nintendo Switch

I was scrolling through the eShop looking for something light to play after work, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a Miraculous tie-in. But this one surprised me. It’s not some bloated open-world mess-just a tight little adventure where you run around Paris as Ladybug or Cat Noir, dodging attacks and using your powers to stop Hawk Moth’s latest scheme. The controls are crisp, the animations smooth, and there’s a real sense of momentum when you’re pulling off combo moves.

The good stuff

What really stood out was how well they captured the vibe of the show. The dialogue clips between missions? Spot on. The way Cat Noir twirls his cape mid-leap? Done with style. I remember one level where I had to dodge a swarm of energy blasts while trying to shield civilians-felt like I was in an actual episode. And the power-up system isn’t just window dressing; leveling up your abilities actually changes how you play. By the end, I could summon shields faster and chain attacks longer. Feels rewarding without being grindy.

The not-so-good

It’s short. Like, really short. I finished the main story in about four hours, maybe five if you’re slow. No hidden dungeons or side quests to stretch it out. Also, no multiplayer. If you’re hoping for co-op chaos with friends, you’re out of luck. And yeah, the developer’s unknown, which makes me wonder about future updates or patches. Might be a one-and-done kind of thing. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you’re into longer games.

Bottom line

If you’re a fan of Miraculous and want a quick, polished action game on your Nintendo Switch, this hits the mark. It’s not going to replace Pokémon Legends: Arceus or anything, but it’s solid entertainment for an hour or two. Free-to-play? No. Paid? Yeah, but cheap. Worth the few bucks if you’re already into the franchise. Skip it if you need a long campaign or online play. But if you’ve ever wanted to feel like Ladybug in Paris, go for it. Boom - done.
