Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

Flip Wars is a fun little game for the Switch, that is ideal to play with some friends on the couch. The gameplay, though simple, is entertaining for all ages. Sadly the game lacks any single-player content. But it's low price makes up for a lot of it.

It’s perhaps stepping on Super Bomberman R’s toes at a fraction of the price, but Flip Wars scratches that multiplayer itch and is an absolute blast to play locally. There are currently some kinks to iron out, particularly with online matchmaking to fully use all the player slots, but with updates a possibility it’s certainly one to keep an eye on to see how things develop.

Flip Wars is a multiplayer game that win by playing it this way. Its great deficiency is in the lack of modes of games and alternatives for a single player. Even so, it can be a great option to keep in mind for family gatherings and with friends.

Flip Wars is yet another fun party title from Nintendo. Alas, just being fun doesn’t justify a purchase. Many of the concepts used in Flip Wars are interesting but lack the depth or volume for me to call them anything greater than a concept. It may be worth revisiting in a few months after some heavy updates.

Flip Wars is a good bit of multiplayer that's fun in short bursts, and does offer something of a challenge to single players - even if the game itself is incomplete for the moment. It’s certainly one to keep an eye on as the features start falling into place, especially since you can expect Nintendo to support this one with content for months to come.

Battle Sports Mekuru has the heart of a good multiplayer game, but the variety isn't there yet. With three simple stages and many incomplete modes, it is a really hard sell at the moment. My suggestion is to wait until after the game has gotten some updated. At that point, I am more than willing to give the game a second chance and see how the package stands. As of right now, I can only recommend Battle Sports Mekuru to those who play a lot in tabletop and TV modes with other people. It is where the game shined brightest for me.

Flip Wars has a great premise for multiplayer fun, especially for local battles. Joining your mates huddled around a Switch the concept works nicely, but in an age where online gaming is bigger than ever you'd think a game like this would nail online play at release. Instead there are missing game modes and spotty online connections will put some people off this very enjoyable title. Due to its early access-like feel it might be worth saving your pennies for a few weeks before splashing out on Flip Wars, to see if the promised future updates will actually deliver the modes that aren't available right now and iron out the kinks in servers.

Flip Wars has a very solid foundation, but a lack of content that makes it look like an early access game. Once it feels finished, it can be a good option.

Flip Wars is an incomplete video game. The base is solid and fun, bu it lacks in gameplay modes and sensation of progression.

If we were to give a definition to Flip Wars, the most consonant could be that of "aperitif game".
