    Thankfully, the great narration and story-driven sections between the gameplay will hold the interest of even the most uninitiated dungeon crawlers. While some won't enjoy playing this solo, the variety of characters and the experimentation of using each together in couch co-op is worth a look. The fact that the two-player option was even included in this day and age should be commended, as lots of fun is there to be had playing this way. Just be prepared for a slog through the earlier stages, and a lot of short runs ending in brutal obliteration due to the misjudged difficulty spike. Oh, and never use Kevin. Ever.

    It may not quite hit the highs of the likes of Hyper Light Drifter or Dead Cells, but it's not far off and its zippy dungeon runs and slices of family drama feel like a perfect fit for Nintendo's portable console. If you're a fan of the genre this is certainly an addition to the Switch's library that's well worth checking out.

Sound effects that get stuck. Random noises during loading screens. Friendly AI that keep attacking the walls when there are no enemies around, etc.

    I had to give it 3/10 because I'm so pissed off it crashed on me right after a one hour dungeon run after a boss fight. The save game was obviously lost.

    If your game is unstable, please allow the player to save state or save the game on demand. The autosave on this game is crap.    … Full Review »

    Great game however it really drops framerate, and us quite buggy. Game breaking glitch doesn't allow me to fight final boss after recent update :*(
