Survival Kids is a fun if somewhat simple co-op game that you can only play on the Switch 2, and is well worth a go especially for younger gamers.

Survival Kids is best suited to playing multiplayer and could be an ideal title for a gamer to play with their child or a younger sibling. Even alone though, it's a fun survival game with some light puzzles, and a good amount of charm to it. There's a good amount to discover here and a higher level of challenge than you might expect, at least if you want to clear all of the objectives.

Survival Kids feels really generic on the Switch 2, and it features none of the personality of the Lost in Blue series.

Survival Kids tries and fails to rekindle an old Konami franchise by bringing it to the Switch 2, but ends up leaving it stranded and to fend for its own.

Exploration and survival, but all very simple (and above all designed for multiplayer).

Survival Kids is a charming but simple introduction to the survival genre, ideal for children and families, though its basic gameplay, limited variety, and quirky design may leave older players unimpressed.

Despite a certain monotony of repetition, the overall experience of Survival Kids is an initial experience, even to test the online emphasis of the Switch 2. For its target audience of children, the game serves as a good introduction to management and puzzle games, even if at certain moments its challenges have solutions pointed out by the narrator and by visual clues that make the answers somewhat pleasant. Fans of original games will certainly be displeased if they expect the classic formula, but since the game does not intend to follow this path, it is not worth judging it in light of the past.

Survival Kids can be fun to play for bits at a time, but some peculiar choices and the game’s repetitive design make it hard to recommend to most. Kids may enjoy the multiplayer aspect with friends and family, but it’s not the best game of the Switch 2’s launch library.

Survival Kids is bright and colourful, with lovely graphics and great audio narration. The ability to GameShare makes playing with friends and family more accessible, more enjoyable and some of the challenges easier to complete. However, Survival Kids has been carefully designed, so that you can complete the whole game by yourself. I’ve had a blast with the bomb flowers, reached new heights with the cannons and wanted more islands to explore. Survival Kids is definitely a contender for one of my games of the year.
