Nintendo Switch 2 Critic Reviews

Through its stellar use of the roguelite formula and ability to build your loadout in such rapid fashion, Deadzone: Rogue provides a compelling shooting experience that I look forward to firing up for a few runs every day. But it's not just the structure that has its hooks in me; the shooting mechanics, varied enemy types, and the compelling narrative mystery all coalesce into one of my favorite shooters in recent years.

Satisfying gunplay and a nice pace. Cross-platform support is something that should always be available on Switch – there are no online crowds – and here they've provided a full range of control options. If the AI were better and the environments weren't so repetitive, it would be a hit.
