Summary

League of evil is a fun game and plays really well on the Switch. It is made for fans who want to push their limits and get a speedrun on. It is a smart little game and the level editor whilst powerful, Adds a long of life to the game and in my eyes really saves it. With a small download size and approachable mentality it will be very hard not to fall for it in some way. In short it is a great little game.
