Project AETHER: First Contact | Nintendo Switch Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Project AETHER: First Contact](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/project-aether-first-contact.jpeg "Project AETHER: First Contact")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/project-aether-first-contact.jpeg)Fight the alien threat across unique levels, each with a powerful boss to defeat.

Customize your mech’s loadout with an assortment of powerful weapons, including the rapid fire assault rifle, high impact railgun, concentrated particle beam, and more.

Choose your own approach to combat. Pick your foes off with ranged weapons, or get in close with devastating sword strikes. Adapt your tactics to the scenario at hand.

Use the enemy forces to your advantage! As you damage foes they become primed for a powerful EMP blast, which will destroy them and any ships caught in the blast.

Prove your prowess with boss rush and survival modes, and get your name on the leaderboard!

A range of difficulty modes allow hardcore players to experience the ultimate challenge, while providing a more forgiving experience for genre newcomers.
