Vostok Inc. for Nintendo Switch offers prospective tycoons the same addictive gameplay they have grown to know and love: with plenty of frenetic twin-stick shooting action, a plethora of the finest and most addictive minigames and the same downright disgusting quest for self-enrichment that brought Vostok Inc. so much adoration from players all over the world.
