    Super Blood Hockey plays very much like those classic arcade hockey games, and the Switch’s library is all the stronger for it. I would have liked to see more online options than just leaderboards, and the fights could use a little fine-tuning, but it’s hard to really gripe about these things when the game is this much fun to play. With tons of options to keep players coming back and a biting sense of humor, Super Blood Hockey is Switch’s first great hockey game.

    Super Blood Hockey varies away from traditional hockey games, though, it still is a ton of fun. It manages live up to it’s name as it is super bloody. The bloodiest hockey game I have ever played in fact. Luck for it the game has more to it than that, it is also really fun to play In some ways, the nontraditional gameplay allows for it to be more fun. There is some unexpected twists and turns along the way. Players wanting to get a fairly decent hockey title to play on the Switch should certainly check it out.

    Very fun simple hockey game to play with up to four players. The on ice violence is very satisfying while still requiring you to focus onVery fun simple hockey game to play with up to four players. The on ice violence is very satisfying while still requiring you to focus on actually trying to score goals. The campaign mode is more elaborate than you might expect from the look of the game. Leveling up players, managing costs, and dealing with injuries makes team management quite a interesting challenge. Plenty of excessive blood and absurd humour. You can even play the campaign games with up to 4 players which is a nice touch.… Full Review »

    It’s a very good game and this review is going to be very short and mainly point out the flaws with other reviews. The low rated reviews allIt’s a very good game and this review is going to be very short and mainly point out the flaws with other reviews. The low rated reviews all have the same thing stated “iT’S uNfAiR aNd tOo hARd!” Then they also mention how they can’t even score a shot and always end up in off man matchups. Well, I have played this title for over 30 titles, have 4 championships but struggled in the first season. I play on medium difficulty and usually beat my opponents so badly that it becomes a 1 v 4 scenario since all of their team is either injured for the game or dead. At first I really disliked it because I sucked. Then I got good and I love this game. A lot of Arcadic fun that isn’t trying to be anything more. By the way, when you don’t have the puck, just beat up their guys and either a fight will break out or beating up the puck handler will get it back for you. Also, just like in a hockey game, don’t just go forward but also make sure you steer them to gain distance.… Full Review »
