    Blazing Beaks is one of the Switch’s hidden eShop gems. Regardless of the potentially steep learning curve, the game always leads to lots of laughs. It’s best played with a group of friends to get the most enjoyment out of all the content that the game has to offer. If Blazing Beaks even remotely catches your eye, it is well worth a purchase.

    Blazing Beaks has a great combination of challenge and humour, with an adorable art style and plenty of surprises.

    Risk-reward mechanics find a colorful ally in Blazing Beaks. This indie roguelike offers great replayability and a very fun local multiplayer.

    Blazing Beaks is a lot of things, all at once, splitting focus between a rogue-lite Story mode and twin-stick local multiplayer shenanigans. Neither mode is perfect, and there might be stronger options available if you’re only interested in one of these genres, but there’s an astonishing level of replay value here, across the board. You’d be quackers to miss it.

    There may be many twin-stick roguelikes but very few are as enjoyable as Blazing Beaks with its charming visuals and tight gameplay.

    A roguelite twin stick adventure granted with a fantastic local multiplayer competitive madness. Not the best of its class, but a very good one.

    Blazing Beaks is a good first venture into console games for Applava. This team clearly loves the twin-stick roguelike genre, and despite needing some fine-tuning, I enjoyed my time with it. With just a few tweaks, this would be a solid recommendation to fans of the genre.

    Amazing game to play with friends or at least with one friend, it really loses a bit if you play alone. The game has nice but not breathtakingAmazing game to play with friends or at least with one friend, it really loses a bit if you play alone. The game has nice but not breathtaking visuals, okay-ish soundtrack but cool rouge-like gameplay with a variety of different guns to use, artefacts to get and monsters to kill. Perks of the playable characters make them really different and change the way you play.

    At times it is too addictive and it's hard to stop but maybe it's just me.    … Expand

    of the advantages I can note beautiful and vivid graphics, cool sounds, complex bosses and cool mechanics with artifacts.
    The game also supports up to 4 players per 1 pc, so if you have a couple of friends, you can have fun together.

    The Style is nice but that was all positive.

    The game is exremely boring. The view collect ables you can get
    are completely useless. So when you die (always at the same boss because the game is so unbalanced), you start with nothing again. Why should I play on that game ?
    There is absolutely no reason. Especially there are games like the handy-game "soulknight" that has a lot of more content, more bosses, more rooms, moor items, more chars, moor crafting, more of EVERYTHING! And its free and not PayToWin! Blazing Beaks costs 15$, but why ??    … Expand
