How it feels

A brisk, trial-and-error arcade platformer where every second counts as you dodge, shoot, and swap blocks to survive escalating holographic obstacle courses.

What players say

Players say this entry reuses much from earlier Mighty Switch Force games and the wraparound gimmick feels thin. The local co-op is chaotic because everyone shares the same switches, and the campaign is short at around three to five hours. Some cannot get the game to launch at all, and many recommend buying the Collection instead for a better value.
