    Sushi Striker: Way of Sushido is a creative and incredibly fun videogame. It's not a piece of art, although it has a fun, light-hearted and creative plot, but that's okay: this game is not made to be taken seriously. It's not the big single-player epic, but it's a near flawless action-RPG-puzzler videogame, and it fits the switch fantastically.

This game, whatsoever, is not for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it's a masterpiece. Since there hasn't really been any game like this before, I recommend anyone interested to check the free demo in the Nintendo Switch EShop( although personally I think the 3DS version is superior in almost every way besides graphics). A common complaint among people who haven't played the game is the price, but this game is well worth 50 Dollars. I've played the game non-stop(14 hours), and I'm about 20% in the story mode. There is also online play, beautiful graphics and a concept never found in any game before. (It has nothing to do with bad Match-3 mobile games).… Expand

    What a surprise! I picked this game up, taking a gamble, and I have been nothing less than impressed. The art style is crisp, the gameplay is fast and incredibly fun, and the music is appropriate. This is a perfect "pick up and play" puzzle game that is easy to start, with a lot of depth to discover.

    An actual mobile game that is on the Switch for way too much money. Should have been $10 at most.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm definitely liking this game. The only "rush" is the 7 seconds you get to link all the sushi you can to kick your opponents a$$ lol
    The storyline is well thought out, dialog is hilarious, art style is perfect, and the voice acting fits. You can replay older levels to level up and there's no limit to how many times you can do so. If I could liken these to a game or two...I guess I'd say any match 3 or more with Pokémon (Sprites).    … Expand

    Sushi Striker es un juego casual pero más tirando a juego de móvil.
    Consiste en combinar una serie de tipos de sushi para acumular puntos y vencer al rival:
    + Modo historia bueno. + Tiene multijugador + Es fácil de jugar, aunque requiere un poquitín de tiempo para los combos avanzados. + Es divertido. - Increíblemente, como otros juegos de Switch, no se puede poner en idioma japonés.

    - Increíblemente, como otros juegos de Switch, no se puede poner en idioma japonés. Esto es malo debido a que el doblaje en inglés es altamente deficiente, como lo suelen ser sus mayorías de doblajes.
    Esto le quita mucha inmersión a la historia y personajes, que nada tienen que ver con sus voces en inglés.
    - Precio muy caro para lo que es el juego: $40. Realmente no vale ese precio.
    - Puede llegar a aburrir en poco tiempo, no hay mucho que explotar para ser sinceros luego de saber "todo".

    "Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido" es un juego más de unir piezas de colores iguales pero con un giro y varias mecánicas que le dan mucha personalidad y rejugabilidad. La historia es algo básica pero ayuda a darle un sentido a los personajes y a la artística.

La historia es algo básica pero ayuda a darle un sentido a los personajes y a la artística.
    El juego consta de crear múltiples conexiones largas de platos del mismo color y utilizarlas como ataques para vencer a oponentes en una competencia de bajarse la barra de vida. Los controles se sienten extraños, pero el modo táctil responde muy bien, no es tan satisfactorio como la pantalla táctil de 3DS pero la Switch responde firme. Además del juego en si hay personajes acompañantes que te dan personalización por sobre el estilo de juego que uno quiera tener, por lo que el juego tiene un ajuste similar a lo brindado en Puyo Puyo Tetris.
    En general es un juego que no es para todos, pero si eres fanático de los puzzles vale la pena probarlo, me falta experimentarlo en 3DS pero en Switch el juego se disfruta bastante aunque la pantalla de la tableta no tiene ese acojinamiento que si tiene la consola portátil de 2 pantallas.    … Expand

    50€/$ is way too much for this
    it's clearly made for stylus
    but with touch it's not that bad either
    english dub is bad.. really bad.. I wish they had left the japanese one

    A nice easy puzzle game for the Nintendo switch and has really good animated cut-scenes. Although the price of 50 dollars is way too much, if you find it on sale for under $15, then I'd suggest it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is honestly not a bad game as people make it out to be. It has a good concept of matching sushi with corresponding plates and has made me try sushi for the first time actually (it was good btw). I don't know how, but the ending to the story, I don't know, it kind of hit me in the feels similar to the ending of a Pokemon game when you know your journey is over. The only gripe I have with this game is the lack of a post-story or rather some closure on some hanging plots, like who is Rio, did Mushashi's mother come back, will the emperor return. Going back to the end of the story, it will have an impact on me.

    This is a game I've been wanting to see through to the end ever since I've played the demo. The gameplay does it's job, but it is a bit repetitive. The story, while a bit silly, is fantastic. If you REALLY want more of this, you can try to 100% the game and unlock everything but in my opinion, it's not worth it since you don't even get a reward or a little subtle change in the game whatsoever. To sum it all up, fun and addicting gameplay, great story, it is a shame this game didn't sell very well. A sequel is possible, but is highly unlikely    … Expand

    It started out good. It soon turned out to only be repetitive grinding until one can beat the next boss. I payed 20$ which was too much for what I got. I think it should have been halved in its length. The soundtrack gets boring and tbh there is no real challenge in grinding until you can beat a boss. There is no real tactics involved and I wish it would have been less grindy and way moreIt started out good. It soon turned out to only be repetitive grinding until one can beat the next boss.

    An very good game, with unique anime and ost. As a fellow sushi lover myself I was glad to have played this game... it is a bit repetitive though

    Despite its engaging story and charming characters, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido undergoes a significant setback when you take its gameplay and controls into consideration.

    If you are looking for a charming and damn right silly plot, and you don’t mind paying a little more for your puzzle action to have it on the Switch, then I feel you will certainly find a lot to like with Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido and its captivating bizarre world of sushi eating puzzle combat.
