Review: Space Cows (Nintendo Switch)

Space Cows is a cheesy twin-stick shooter featuring weaponized toilet plunger and intense zero gravity combat. Shoot, dash and wobble in slow motion to save cows and lay vengeance upon an evil corporation.

Pros:

• Cartoon graphics.
• 1gb download size.
• 2D Shmup gameplay.
• 3 difficulties–Cheeasy, Normoo, and Hardcow. Determines lives/checkpoints/enemy speed.
• Tutorials throughout.
• A lot of fart jokes/noises and cow puns.
• Actions–shoot, grab, rage, slow moo, and dash.
• Bonus mini-games like avoid enemies that cascade down or squirt milk into containers.
• Checkpoints.
• Finishing a level allows you to start from there going forward.
• A handful of enemy types including one that looks a lot like a green pen15.
• Locked in room encounters.
• Boss fights.
• Multiple routes.

Cons:

• Can’t change buttons.
• Way too many cringe cow puns.
• Annoying checkpoint pop-ups.
• No touchscreen.
• The screen can zoom in and out on its own causing issues.
• Shooting feels sluggish and not that accurate.
• The gameplay is slow to build.
• No real variation in levels.
• Mini-games are boring.
• The level design is very plain.
