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 tutorials.
Doesn’t have any of its own achievements or trophies.
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.
