Reviews

Rival Megagun may fall short of the standards set by genre masterworks like Cave’s Ketsui, Seibu Kaihatsu’s Raiden Fighters Jet or Raizing’s Battle Garegga. But those are some of the finest pieces of game design of all time, and failing to meet their lofty standards doesn’t stop Spacewave’s creation being a tremendously fun and rather distinct shmup that really does offer something fresh, and serves as a great demonstration of the Switch’s multiplayer prowess in the process.

The competitive aspect of Rival Megagun works really well, and shooter fans who are interested in the local competitive experience might find a lot to like about this game. The online leaderboards and collectable cards add some long-term play, too. However, the lack of players online, the random unlocks, and the pedestrian shoot-‘em-up stages leave a lot to be desired. Some may find good value here, but I can’t wholeheartedly recommend Rival Megagun to a general Switch audience.

Rival Megagun isn’t a perfect package, but it offers a unique gameplay experience that nobody else is trying to create right now. Shoot ’em ups are blood-pumping adrenaline adventures, and adapting that into a competitive game is a feat that Rival Megagun does impressively well. While some gameplay balance issues and a bland story mode tarnish the final product, Rival Megagun is still an engaging title worth checking out if you and a loved one need a new way to settle your arguments.
