Critic Reviews for Gurgamoth
Gurgamoth is closer to Starwhal, another novelty-based, colorful competitive game, but at least the latter had a sense of humor and janky-controls that are part of the fun. Put another way, Gurgamoth really is just bumper cars: a fleeting, mild amusement best remembered as a sliver of an otherwise warm, fuzzy day.
With only one style of gameplay, just over a handful of stages, and only six characters that look generally the same, the $9.99 asking price just doesn’t seem worth it. Gurgamoth felt more like early access or a test demo than a full game.
Ultimately it seems that the creators came up with a brilliant idea but rushed the product
Regardless, while Gurgamoth’s core gameplay loop is still decently enjoyable, the lack of anything else to it makes it a hard recommendation in the sea of other multiplayer games.
Quick and intense multiplayer experiences can be fun in bursts, and since typically the genre of choice for these titles on Switch usually involves shooting Gurgamoth at least sets itself apart by doing something different...
