    Perfect title for those days when you wish to play some competitive and simple games with your friends. Colorful, fast and fun.

    I really can’t recommend Boomerang Fu enough. At $14.99, it packs a lot of replay value and is one of the stand-out multiplayer games on the Switch. I’d put it up there with other great indie multiplayer co-op games like the Overcooked series and Moving Out (Check out our Overcooked review). If you’re looking for a great, local multiplayer title to play with some friends/family, definitely check out Boomerang Fu.

    Add in a good number of different arenas as well as a solid mix of power-ups and you have a title that’s well worth trying out at your next games night. It’s just a shame there’s no online play.

    With only three modes to choose from, we wish there was a bit more meat on Boomerang Fu’s bones. The Golden Boomerang mode is a welcome change from the standard Deathmatch, but not one that’s going to keep your attention for long, and unfortunately, there’s no story mode or any semblance of plot. There are plenty of gameplay modifiers to alter how the matches play out, but ultimately, Boomerang Fu’s longevity will largely depend on how often you’re able to play local multiplayer rather than against AI bots. Still, it‘s an adorable, hilarious experience that’s great fun in short bursts.

    Boomerang Fu is a simple party game that won't bring much to solo players beyond its simple and intuitive gameplay. Local multiplayer is a completely different matter, though, as its absolutely chaotic sessions add a whole new layer of enjoyment for up to six players, which makes the lack of an online multiplayer component hard to understand. Those who can summon up to five other players and are looking for quick but intense experiences will find something worthy in Boomerang Fu.

    It isn't perfect as it lags sometimes and some of the powers need to be balanced, but this game has some of the most satisfying controls I'veIt isn't perfect as it lags sometimes and some of the powers need to be balanced, but this game has some of the most satisfying controls I've ever experienced. They're extremely simple to learn, but the progression is complex and the matches start to get very intense. Honestly, I played this game way more than Smash Ultimate even. It's just that good.

    Certain buffs like Multi-Boomerang or Telekinesis start to feel very over-powered once everyone gets used to the game and buffs like Disguise, Bamboozled, and Decoy actually feel like downgrades. Sometimes your character glitches and keeps moving automatically when you go too far out of bounds. The 45 degree angle on some of these maps also takes some getting used to. It is also criminal that a game this good does not have online multiplayer.

    Overall though, one of my favorite games ever.    … Expand

    You can play locally with friends or up to 5 bots and rounds are frantically fun.

    More game modes would be welcome but the two that are currently there, Free for all deathmatch and Golden Boomerang, are well executed and it's a very fun package for the price.    … Expand

    This game is very reminiscent to tower fall.... but with boomerangs and adorable objects. You liked that game you will like this.

    Much like Towerfall it's a bummer that there isn't online. What is does have is bots. You can play single player with 5 additional bots. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I wish you could change individual bots difficulty, or more difficulty... I'm better then medium, but nowhere close to Hard.    … Expand
