Reviews & Mini-Views
Mars 2120 ($19.99)
Mars 2120 is a mixed bag. While it has its flaws, including clunky gameplay and weak AI, there are still some enjoyable moments. The game’s atmosphere and combat mechanics offer a unique experience, even if it falls short in comparison to similar titles on the Switch. If you’re willing to overlook its shortcomings, you might find some fun hidden beneath the rough edges.
Despite its ambition, Mars 2120 struggles to stand out in the crowded Metroidvania genre. With some refinement and creativity, it could have been a standout title. However, as it stands, it fails to make a strong case for itself against its competition.
SwitchArcade Score: 3/5
