    The gameplay was kept interesting and entertaining throughout, with every boss fight feeling fresh and none of them feeling like repeats.

    Furi is an excellent little game. With ten thrilling boss fights and excellent movement options, it is just a pure joy to play. The only real problem is that the experience is over before you know it. Sure, you can play it multiple times and get better, but there is some loss of the magic there. That initial thrill made me pumped to take on the next step, and see what journey had in store for me. The feeling when you overcome the odds is wonderful.

    As an example of boss fights at their finest, Furi is a great game. And when it was over, I felt like I’d achieved something, even on easy mode. I suppose the reason I’m a little disappointed in the game is that it left me wanting more and that’s a good thing. Furi is out today, January 11th, on Nintendo Switch. If you’ve yet to play it elsewhere and love the premise, give it a look.

    At some times, Furi seems to cross the line of what you consider a fun and fair challenge. Even so, it creates a restless atmosphere with its intriguing narrative, electrified soundtrack and mixture of hack n’ slash and bullet hell boss-rush gameplay.

    Furi delivers an intense, hardcore action experience packed with challenging boss fights and a fascinating narrative.

    A fantastic genre mash-up between hack and slash, boss rush and twin-stick bullet hell shooters, Furi is as unique a blend now as it was in 2016. It fits effortlessly onto the Nintendo Switch, but it’s a game that is waiting to challenge you and worth testing yourself against on other platforms.

    Furi for the Nintendo Switch delivers the same experience as the rest of the platforms, offering fast and demanding action, a killer soundtrack and an oniric atmosphere with great character designs.

    Furi is still awesome on Nintendo Switch. You might be better play with a controller, though.

    It has been ace playing Furi on the Switch and while the port isn’t perfect, Furi on Switch is a great way to experience the game.

    its a great port, those saying it has worse music or frame drops than other version either havent analysed it properly or are spouting othersits a great port, those saying it has worse music or frame drops than other version either havent analysed it properly or are spouting others opinions (theres one review on youtube that recorded the audio with issues, the actual game doesnt have audio issues at all... & the developers themselves stated furi on switch runs at a very similar frame rate to the ps4 version, which is close to but not locked at 60fps) the only real difference is the switch version is portable which could be a huge bonus if you want that & it has slightly blurry textures compared to xbox one & ps4, but the difference is minimal you can see this in online comparisons.

    the reviewer below saying the frame rate drops below 20-30fps is lying as far as im concerned, ive not seen that and neither has any other reviewer shown that to be the case so far.    … Full Review »

    Just play more devil may cry for the 8 hours you would've spent playing this game. Thank me later. You're welcome.

    It really tries hard to    Just play more devil may cry for the 8 hours you would've spent playing this game. Thank me later. You're welcome.

    It really tries hard to be an action hack and slash game in the style of capcom, but the designers don't actually understand what makes the Capcom hash and slashes actually good. They added the part where you need skill to play, but forgot to include the part where you actually WANT to play.

    The controls are floaty as **** and don't feel good. Enemy animations are really stupidly unclear. For example, look at DMC3 Cerebus. Cerebus paws draw back for horizontal swipe, raise vertically before vertical smash. Cerebus dog head shakes and sits back before launching forward, and roars before ice comes down. This makes visual sense. For a player that hasn't seem something before, the animations here have so few keyframes that the only way to know what to do is if you've seen that attack before. In which case the animation and art is LITERALLY not doing its job.

    Another key problem with this game is the fundamental misunderstanding of design here with regards to flow. A lot of the time there's choice for how to deal with every attack. Eg. in DMC3 there's a safe approach, a less safe action, and super just-frame action using some bit of some move that lets you do more damage, for EVERY single move. Here what the designers did is like a scissors paper rock approach. Boss does thing, the ONLY thing you can do is this. Boss does this, here's my exact counter. Boss does this, the ONLY thing I can do is this. There's very very little choice. This is like an open world game where the open world is just one linear tunnel, like a narrative choice game with only 1 choice, like an RPG game with only 1 linear skill tree. The whole POINT of these games is so you have a whole kit of choices to deal with each attack.

    If the designer is reading this review, run this algorithm over your entire game:
    For i = every boss in this game:
    For j = every attack the boss can possibly do:
    For k = every button on the gamepad
    If you can't use button K to effectively deal with action j of boss i:
    Add a possibility for button K to effectively deal with action j of boss i to the game    … Full Review »
