    old_bo's Kamiko (Nintendo Switch) review

    Hyper Lite Drifter

    Kamiko gets by on look, sound and value. The three or so hours (max) you'll spend with this game won't offer much if anything in way of depth. You've got three characters (a melee lady, a projectile lady, and a somewhere in between lady), each with one basic attack and a chargeable special. There are four stages, five bosses (that offer little challenge), and little else (aside from some not so hidden secrets). But at the price point of a single Lincoln, it's hard to complain much. The combat is certainly shallow, but there's a nice rhythm to the movement. The game's pixel art look is also pretty slick and meshes well with the retro music (the aesthetic comparisons to Hyper Light Drifter are warranted).

    If you're hurting for Nintendo Switch games, you could do a lot worse than Kamiko, especially for the price. Throw on a bad action movie and undock your little buddy and you've got a cheap night of entertainment.
