    One of the greatest 4-player competitive games ever. The frantic gameplay and ridiculous costumes will have you and your friends/family screaming at each other in delight.

    I seriously love this game.

    Note: This is really a multiplayer-only game. Probably a 5/10 if you're playing by yourself.

    We never have a dull moment with this one. It's simple to control and even easier to get into; the slow-mo on near misses is everything and helps build the hype instantly. We only play this as 3-4 person multiplayer and primarily the main mode but some of the alternatives are fun. For what it costs, it earned its value the night I bought it.

It's also something you're not going to be playing for longer than an hour unless you have a mass of people switching in and out, but it's always something to go back to. If you ever wished Nidhogg was more than 2 players, this is your consolation prize as far as stabbing your friends in the chest goes… Expand

    For its price and the fun factor alone, this is thoroughly recommendable.

    STARWHAL is a weird, quirky and vibrant game that looks great. Its fun to play with friends in short sessions, but unfortunately the gameplay quickly feels a bit hollow.

    If you're rocking it solo, don't even bother picking up the controller. [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.18]
