3D Don’t Die Mr Robot Nintendo Switch OLED Review Review Pros:

  • Decent graphics, with it looking better on the handheld.
  • 628.2MB Download size.
  • Dodge ’em up gameplay.
  • Four game modes: Remix mode, Arcade, Lime Attack, and Chill out.
  • Online leaderboards that do not require a Playstation Plus subscription.
  • Appearance – spend coins in spins for customisation items.
  • Very addictive gameplay.
  • The goal of the game is to avoid enemies and hit fruit and food to trigger them (they are bombs).
  • Combo and streak counters.
  • Remix mode is like story mode, where you do level by level, trying to get Bronze to Platinum awards.
  • Excellent soundtrack, for me it’s very techno bass heavy, but what do I know?
  • Simple controls, just move around. And they are tight and responsive, a huge step up over the Steam version.
  • Despite the simplicity and a Minimalistic approach, the game has a ton of depth and even more replayability.
  • Coins drop from enemies and chain explosions for crazy visuals and score.
  • Levels randomize in all the other modes outside of Remix mode.
  • Best played with headphones.
  • It’s seriously addictive.
  • I love just putting the game in and switching off as it were.
  • Think of it like Geometry Wars, but it’s all pacifism mode.
  • Different fruit sizes trigger different-sized explosions.
  • Themed levels where they are a particular shape are some stand-out moments.
  • Your best score always shows on each mode, and a leaderboard is in the main menu.
  • It really is pure arcade perfection.

3D Don’t Die Mr Robot Nintendo Switch OLED Review Cons:

  • No touchscreen support.
  • Seeing coins can get tricky.
  • It takes a short while to get used to the gameplay loop.
  • The camera controls are not great and feel floaty.
  • It’s hard to put down.
  • Arcade mode has a slow countdown to start.
  • The game comes down to that did I hit the fruit or they hit me first; you always lose.
  • Not all levels let you move the camera.
  • You lose a lot of coins from falling off the level to the level ending, and you can’t move.

Summary

3D Don’t Die Mr Robot delivers a visually captivating arcade experience on the Nintendo Switch, all within a lightweight 1.44GB download. With four exciting game modes—Remix, Arcade, Lime Attack, and Chill Out—the game offers varied challenges that cater to every type of player. Featuring online leaderboards for competitive thrills and coin-based customization for added flair, the gameplay loop is as addictive as it is satisfying. The core objective remains engaging yet simple: dodge enemies, hit fruit and food to trigger explosive combos, and chase high scores for glory. Remix mode serves as a story-driven journey with level progression and awards ranging from Bronze to Platinum, all while the pulsating techno soundtrack perfectly complements the action.

Despite its many strengths, the game has some minor setbacks, such as the lack of tutorials, accessibility options, and precise camera controls, which may initially frustrate new players. The coins can be tricky to spot at times, but the randomly generated levels (outside of Remix mode) ensure that each playthrough feels fresh and unpredictable. Best enjoyed with headphones for the immersive audio, 3D, Don’t Die Mr Robot is a rewarding and addictive arcade title that shines on the Nintendo Switch despite its small imperfections.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
