This port also includes both of the original expansion packs, “The Scourge Of Armagon” and “Dissolution Of Eternity!” as well as two expansions developed by the team at MachineGames: “Dimension of the Past,” and the all-new “Dimension of the Machine.” The Nintendo Switch port even features gyro aiming for fans of motion controls, local and online multiplayer, support for mods, and crossplay between PC, Xbox and Playstation versions of the game.
