Shard Squad Reviews
This is easily one of my favorite games of the year and one I see myself returning to time and time again. Yes, the gameplay loop could get tiring and I did find myself taking breaks from time to time, but it wasn’t enough to hurt my enjoyment. For $7 USD, I highly recommend this if you want a fun, cute Vampire Survivors-like game where you can play as a fire breathing red panda and a shark cuter than Jeff The Shark.
The Root Studios and Nuntius Games offer us a game that draws directly from the essence of Vampire Survivor, but adds its own touch of originality

Shard Squad stands out for its wealth of content, offering over 20 creatures to unlock, 10 stages with varied difficulty, permanent upgrades, relics, and story content that provide strong replayability and a sense of progression. This polished Brazilian game features charming pixel art, smooth animations, and stable performance on Nintendo Switch, while its squad system lets players experiment with different characters without excessive repetition. However, the gameplay can eventually feel repetitive, as later stages offer little mechanical variety, though a harder mode is available from the start for experienced players.

It may lack the depth or variety of some of the bests out there, but Shard Squad is a fairly unique take on the crowded bullet heaven genre. Having to evolve and create synergies between creatures, and even being able to combine said abilities in co-op, makes for an addictive and fun experience, with more than enough content to enjoy over plenty of hours. Sure it’s a bit repetitive and grindy, but I’ve also found it to be an excellent timewaster and a perfectly enjoyable survivors-like if you, like me, can’t get enough of this formula.
