Stick Fight: The Game

Stick Fight: The Game is very good at everything it does, but it could go a little further. The absence of a singleplayer mode and more customization options, gradually diminish interest. However, despite the repetition and little incentive for a continuous sequence of matches, the game is a perfect companion for that moment when you want to challenge the family to a fast and fun fight. After all, being casual does not mean being simple, and that title shows it very well.

Stick Fight: The Game is a case study in simplistic but smart game design. It’s an over the top, bombastic, and raucous fight that will leave you laughing and swearing in equal amounts. Who knew a game with stick figures could be so ridiculously fun?

In my time with Stick Fight, I did hit an occasional hard crash but they were few and far between. Otherwise the gameplay stays fluid with little to no slowdown. Unfortunately they did not include community generated content but this is a fantastic indie party game that fits perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. Stick Fight is a great way to jump start any family gathering… minus the guns and violence.

Oh how perilous the eShop is in the budget category, filled with games that look like they could be promising but with many letting you down...
