Starbites on Switch: Ambitious Mech RPG Derailed by Technical Woes

TL;DR
Starbites aims for a retro, turn-based mech RPG on Switch, pairing accessible combat and likable characters with a world-building premise, but the port is rough: poor visuals, frequent frame drops, numerous bugs, and a tangled narrative sink the experience, making it a middle-of-the-road game at best (4/10).
