While I wish the developers would give their awful UI a top-to-bottom revamp, anyone who makes it past the initial mess and manages to dig in will find a challenging, persuasive roguelike actioner that delivers an unexpectedly sophisticated good time. The exterior needs a fair amount of elbow grease, but the engine underneath is purring.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Synthetik: Ultimate. The gameplay kept drawing me in again and again, the customization options kept me playing, and the difficulty, while brutal, was adjustable and made the game feel more rewarding overall. I really think there’s a little something for everybody in this game with the insane customization options. If you’re looking for something difficult that you can pick up and play whenever, definitely give Synthetik: Ultimate a shot. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Terrible port **** game. The gunplay is great but unfortunately marred by poor framerate and bad controls (specifically in regards to pick up management). Game has a really long load time and forces you to select language preference every time you start the game.

Honestly an amazing game and I would rate top score if I could experience past the 2nd boss but my game will 100% without fail crazh after or on 2nd boss so that's all I've got to experience:(

Offering a modern roguelite spin on a retro-inspired concept, SYNTHETIK is a cracking title from a small team. A fiddly menu system can be a pain at times, but the core gameplay of this robot rampage is absolutely top notch. Either solo or with a friend, there’s hours of fun to be had in trying to overthrow the machine.
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate provides a good old-fashioned shoot-’em-all with plenty of tactical difficulty. There are enough levels, avatar classes, and weapons to keep a gamer busy for a fair number of hours. The game could stand some controls and training improvement, but it is a worthy action/arcade entry.
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate is most definitely not for the faint of heart or those who don't like brutally difficult tactical roguelikes, but that plays to its strengths. Players who are willing to put in the work will find a deeply rewarding (if maybe a little unpolished) roguelike experience.
Digging through the overwhelming amount of information of guns and items and skills can be daunting, but once you get through that Synthetik: Ultimate can be quite an enjoyable game to have. Particularly as a twin stick top down roguelike experience on the go thanks to the portability of Switch.
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate is a wonderful roguelike that's been utterly ruined by its Switch port. What should be one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch is instead emblematic of everything wrong with the eShop. Frame rate dips, technical hiccups, and game breaking glitches tear down all the goodwill this game establishes. When there's no such thing as quality assurance, amazing games release in unplayable states. SYNTHETIK: Ultimate should be played, just not on Nintendo Switch.
Great graphics and sound. The controls take some getting used to, but fit the game really well. This is a hardcore game, with no saves so, much like The Binding of Isaac, it's a dungeon crawl shooter where you need to get as far as you can on one life. The real problem comes in where the game may randomly crash instead of transporting you to the next level. I can't really give a good rating to a game that causes you to die randomly for no reason. Perhaps they will fix this in an update.

I love this game, but this port is awful. Crashes constantly, and the framerate is very inconsistent. Hopefully it gets patched into working order.
