Itadaki Smash is a humble beat 'em up that pays homage to arcade games and is fun, despite its short length and lack of variety. It doesn't add anything new to the genre in terms of gameplay, but the enemies' design is fun, pretending to be Japanese dishes.
Itadaki Smash is a pretty decent beat 'em up. It has its problems, such as a not too interesting story, or boring graphics, but it entertained us. With different game modes, an acceptable local multiplayer and a very classic gameplay (although somewhat repetitive), the game is a good choice if you are looking for a new classic arcade game.
The core gameplay and design of Itadaki Smash make for a zippy beat 'em up, but the lack of extra servings may leave you wanting a bit more.
Itadaki Smash draws inspiration from classic side-scrolling beat'em ups
and it does a good job at presenting different characters with their own
characteristics and differentiated game modes, as well as a touch of
humour. It does a less good job when it comes to its hit box, which
needs to be better implemented, a rather simplistic visual world that
doesn't quite captivate our senses, and an experience that overall feels
lacking in profoundness.
Itadaki Smash has some decent humour in places and can give you a few hours of slightly underwhelming fighting fun. But with so much better available out there, we would suggest looking elsewhere to get your belt scroller fix.
Itadaki Smash isn't exactly the worst beat-'em-up on the Switch, but it gets close. The graphics are drab, with some bad-looking character models and mediocre animations. The humor is tiresome, and the lack of moves reveals the game's shallowness. The game is short, but the cumbersome saving combined with the overall instability makes it difficult to like. The Switch has a plethora of very good beat-'em-ups, both old and new, so there's no need to check out this offering.

Summary Katsu is the owner of the best restaurant in town. But the Tengogo mafia is determined to bring his business down by putting a curse on all the food, transforming the dishes into terrible demons. Only our heroes, with their new powers, can stop them. Itadaki Smash is a brawler set in a contemporary world, but that pays tribute to both...
