Venture Kid Nintendo Switch Review
Venture Kid plays a lot like Mega Man, a standard run and gun style game. You are dropped in various levels, with various backdrops, and you run and shoot your way to the end. Boss levels are scattered through and grant you more weapons. It’s not breaking down any gaming barriers, but it’s a fun ride.
Stages are short and aren’t easy to go through. But there are spikes of difficulty, which could cause you to get game over. This will mean you have to play through the whole stage again. Stages will start to look the same as the level design isn’t that distinctive per stage.
There are a couple of different game modes, which are meant to keep you playing once completed. These don’t offer anything new and I feel once finished you won’t be playing it again.
The 8-bit design is cute but is starting to feel like a crutch. Level design isn’t there, with a template “jungle” or “City” design being applied. There isn’t any sort of spark, that makes people pine for 8bit games.
There are other games you can get which offer a better version of this nostalgia cash grab. If you are after a mega man clone, then this is something you can get, but with various Mega Man games being released on Switch, I’m not sure why you would.
