    Perfect title for those days when you wish to play some competitive and simple games with your friends. Colorful, fast and fun.

    I really can’t recommend Boomerang Fu enough. At $14.99, it packs a lot of replay value and is one of the stand-out multiplayer games on the Switch. I’d put it up there with other great indie multiplayer co-op games like the Overcooked series and Moving Out (Check out our Overcooked review). If you’re looking for a great, local multiplayer title to play with some friends/family, definitely check out Boomerang Fu.

    Add in a good number of different arenas as well as a solid mix of power-ups and you have a title that’s well worth trying out at your next games night. It’s just a shame there’s no online play.

    With only three modes to choose from, we wish there was a bit more meat on Boomerang Fu’s bones. The Golden Boomerang mode is a welcome change from the standard Deathmatch, but not one that’s going to keep your attention for long, and unfortunately, there’s no story mode or any semblance of plot. There are plenty of gameplay modifiers to alter how the matches play out, but ultimately, Boomerang Fu’s longevity will largely depend on how often you’re able to play local multiplayer rather than against AI bots. Still, it‘s an adorable, hilarious experience that’s great fun in short bursts.

    Boomerang Fu is a simple party game that won't bring much to solo players beyond its simple and intuitive gameplay. Local multiplayer is a completely different matter, though, as its absolutely chaotic sessions add a whole new layer of enjoyment for up to six players, which makes the lack of an online multiplayer component hard to understand. Those who can summon up to five other players and are looking for quick but intense experiences will find something worthy in Boomerang Fu.

    It’s a shame there haven’t been any reviews from critics, because this game could probably use the press. Honestly might be one of my favorite party games.    … Expand

    Amazing if you have other people to play it with.

    Only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it doesn't have an online mode. Hopefully the    Amazing if you have other people to play it with.

    Only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it doesn't have an online mode. Hopefully the developer can update it later on or release a second game with multiplayer.

    I got this game for free on amazon games but love it so much I bought it on the switch so my family and me could play on the tv.    … Expand

    Cute, fun, and really accessible party game. I love throwing this one on when my guests aren't very used to playing video games.

    The game    Cute, fun, and really accessible party game. I love throwing this one on when my guests aren't very used to playing video games.

    The game could definitely improve on the outlining on the characters and maps, I notice people, even those who have played this game a lot with me, falling off of the map constantly due to unclear borders / visuals.

    There are also some other issues. Falling off for some reason produces no point loss or point gains for the other player. Meaning if I need to stop someone from getting a point I can just jump off.

    I understand that this is a small title, but it'd be very nice to see it expanded upon with more maps, more color pallets on the maps, and more customizability in map selection.

    Either way, this game is really fun and great for what it is! Do recommend supporting. The dev is awesome and attentive to the players and fans!    … Expand
