Punk Rock Monkeys Battle WashingMachines for Japan
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Punk rock monkeys have to battle household appliances in a battle for Japan using nearly 100 homemade weapons. What's not to love??
This game is made by Good-Feel who also made Yoshi's Crafted World! (note: this is a VERY different game) They've been making first party games for Nintendo for over a decade and I originally wanted to just show support for their first self published game, but I ended up really enjoying it.
It's an old school style top down shooter, with 3D Pixel graphics and a splash of style and a fun, silly story. Plus you get lots, and lots of weapons to experiment with.
Overall I'd give this game an 8/10 but I do want to throw an extra star on for the physical version, as it comes with a full color manual and a reversible Japanese cover. (which has different artwork on the front).
It's a nice physical copy for anyone that collects Nintendo stuff (despite being self published)

Fun game where a pair of monkeys have to rescue their friends from an evil army of robots. Cool 3d pixel art with old school gameplay. Has online competitive modes and about 22 story modes. Great game!
