Review: Family Tree (Nintendo Switch)

Family Tree is a pinball platform game where you’ll be aiming your shots and bouncing on baddies to traverse many hand-crafted levels.

Pros:

  • Bright cartoon graphics.
  • 180mb download size.
  • How to play upon boot up.
  • Goal-get to the exit.
  • Gameplay-you aim like you do in Angry Birds and then fly/bounce your way towards the goal.
  • Simple 3 button controls.
  • Level select.
  • Play through the four seasons.
  • End of season boss race/encounter.
  • Navigate levels by hitting/avoiding enemies, collect fruit and coins, use cannons and platforms.
  • Aftertouch so you can move in the air.
  • Aim and launch control.
  • Endless climb with four-player local support.
  • Every level is timed.
  • Has its own achievements.

Cons:

  • No touchscreen.
  • No leaderboards.
  • Menu navigation is a nightmare.
  • No incentive to go all out and collect everything.
  • No tate mode support.
  • Can’t change controls.
  • Little replay value.

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!
