Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold Reviews
All in all Level-5 has created a solid game that will find and keep its fans in the West. The partly short missions are good for short sessions, but you also like to sit at the switch for a longer time to hunt in Snack World. In TV mode, the Grinder was much more fun for us than mobile. This is certainly due to the camera being too rigid. This is our point of criticism for "Numero Uno" and has often caused freaks, because you can't focus your opponents properly. Apart from that, the full-price title is a lot of fun and shines especially in multiplayer with friends. Especially positive is the fact that there were no lags or aborts online. As friends of Amiibo, it's a pity that support has been completely removed. The expensive NFC collectibles are simply not being used enough!

Its mediocre ideas result in nothing more than a functionality that spoils solid art. Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold could have been a unique take on the genre but unfortunately cashes out too early to make any kind of lasting impression.
Unless you are a die-hard dungeon crawler, I don’t see this game holding your interest.
Where most other Level-5 games are a joy and delight, this one really felt too much like a slog.
Snack World works as a tasty, but not entirely satisfying, appetizer, with too much filler and some strange balancing choices.
Overall, there really is nothing fundamentally wrong here, but with its reliance on deriving humour from treating RPG standards as dated and ripe for mockery, Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold pretty much shoots itself in the foot.
Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – GOLD will appeal to those gamers looking for something unfamiliar to dive into. It won’t take more than 25-30 hours to complete, but you’ll get more out of this if you want to capture every Snack and complete every side quest. If you’re tired of roaming the Galar region, have explored every inch of Diablo 3 and Yo-Kai Watch is gathering dust then this will cater for some of your adventurous needs. But don’t expect an expansive and enchanting world that you’ll itch to jump back in to. What has the ingredients to be a compelling RPG with roguelike side dishes, unfortunately, boils down to a mediocre cold buffet of half-baked ideas and passable visuals that never fully gets the taste buds tingling.
Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl Gold falls short in most areas with it's dull, monotonous gameplay. Repetitive missions and gameplay lead to this one wearing out it's welcome after a few short hours, despite having lots of content.
With this brand new franchise, Level-5 intends to enter the market of rogue-like titles. Alas, despite its cool and colorful universe, we can be quite disappointed by the general game design, massively borrowed from gacha games and its repetitiveness.

If you ignore the presentation, there’s something in here for dungeon crawl fanatics, but you’re better off going with something like Darksiders Genesis for a far more enjoyable experience.
Snack World starts off as a charming RPG, but tedium quickly sets in.
If you’re desperate for a new dungeon crawling RPG, Snack World could potentially scratch that itch, but you’re better off looking elsewhere.
Elias gets a taste of some gathering and questing comfort food, but is Snack World meaty enough elsewhere to an experience to be worth savoring?
Level-5's latest multimedia outing makes a belated western outing in an RPG that's eccentric, exuberant and more than a little clumsy.
For switch owners who only want to do a short quest here and there, Snack World: The Treasure Hunt Gold is definitely the right choice. The short quests can be completed quickly on the bus or on the way to work. But they are not really captivating and even reminded me of one or the other mobile game, which can be played quite nicely for a few minutes every day, but doesn't offer any depth. The level 5 studios have left a lot of potential behind and offer a maximum of average fare, which can hardly motivate in the long run. After all: The online mode is mostly stable and players who want to play the same quest can be found enough at the moment. Nevertheless there is a lack of content, especially in the endgame. To bridge short distances, Snackworld: The Treasure Hunt Gold is ideal - for the home screen, however, it is unfortunately a rather boring waste of time.
