    Phenomenal top down twin stick shooter! Very challenging with LOTS of different weapons and gadgets! Very high quality. Long levels too lol. When you think you’re coming up to the end of a level you’ll find you’re actually just coming up to a checkpoint. Replayability through the roof.

    Monkey Barrels is the definition of a solid-but-safe top-down shooter. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 19]

    Monkey Barrels is a solid game if you look for a fun, cartoony approach to shooters. There are some things that would be improved or polished but, overall, it’s an enjoyable experience.

    Monkey Barrels is a great twin-stick shooter that perhaps plays it a little too safe at times. There's a fantastic selection of unlockable guns and grenades, with some providing excellent visual treats and strategic advantages, but the level design leaves a lot to be desired thanks to its repetitive nature. The unlockable multiplayer mode is a decent distraction that's fun for a while but ultimately lacks the same depth as the main story mode. There are stronger twin-stick shooters available on the Switch, but this is nevertheless a welcome addition.
