    Itadaki Smash isn't exactly the worst beat-'em-up on the Switch, but it gets close. The graphics are drab, with some bad-looking character models and mediocre animations. The humor is tiresome, and the lack of moves reveals the game's shallowness. The game is short, but the cumbersome saving combined with the overall instability makes it difficult to like. The Switch has a plethora of very good beat-'em-ups, both old and new, so there's no need to check out this offering.

    Itadaki Smash is a pretty decent beat 'em up. It has its problems, such as a not too interesting story, or boring graphics, but it entertained us. With different game modes, an acceptable local multiplayer and a very classic gameplay (although somewhat repetitive), the game is a good choice if you are looking for a new classic arcade game.

    Itadaki Smash draws inspiration from classic side-scrolling beat'em ups and it does a good job at presenting different characters with their own characteristics and differentiated game modes, as well as a touch of humour. It does a less good job when it comes to its hit box, which needs to be better implemented, a rather simplistic visual world that doesn't quite captivate our senses, and an experience that overall feels lacking in profoundness.
