Super Crush K.O.

Super Crush KO features an explosion of an action experience, which goes very well with the game's garish colours. With its light-hearted plot and frantic combat, the game has a lot to offer for those looking for a fun and action-packed experience. It also runs out of assets rather quickly, and its level bosses are somewhat repetitive but Super Crush KO on the Nintendo Switch won't disappoint anyone looking for some good, frantic fun.

Super Crush KO is a 2D brawler that could be a little better with some additional variety. Still, you should have a hell of a time while its campaign lasts, all thanks to fast-paced combat that makes you feel powerful.

It's to Super Crush KO's credit that, after rattling through its brief but bouncy campaign, we immediately dive back in for another crack at perfecting our high scores. It is some of the best gaming junk food around: moreish although not particularly nutritious, best enjoyed in small moments of convenience and often while watching something else. [Issue#342, p.116]

A short and fast-paced beat-em-up that needs more gameplay mechanics, but is still fun to play.

Super Crush KO offers up some fluid action that proves to be addictive. However, the weak boss encounters and bewildering lack of two-player co-op hold the game firmly in the ‘good but not great’ territory. Fans of Vertex Pop’s prior work will still want to check it out, especially those who enjoy climbing leaderboards.

Super Crush KO is a pleasant throwback to the glory days of the beat 'em up. The action is fast and fluid, and the visuals are charming and endearing. It's also a throwback in a bad way, though, as the lack of replay value and barebones story would feel right at home at an arcade.

Super Crush KO is a fun and addictive experience in the 2D action genre. Fresh and casual, it invites you to play every time you switch on your console. It's short and bosses design could be better, but still it has some enjoyment in it.

Ultimately, Super Crush KO is a short burst of fun that is priced well for what you get, but its simple level design and lack of building on the combat system make this a title I grew out of after a few short hours of play.

Super Crush KO offers fantastic style and solid gameplay which is a strong opening combo for any action game. Far too little variety, even for a game this short, keeps it from being a must play, but there is fun to be had if you go in with the right expectations.
