I played this for about 7 hours on Steam, then saw that it was on the Nintendo Switch, bought it again (for £4 how could I not), and I’ve played at least 15 hours on the Switch. This game is awesome. Super simple, you only use the left analogue stick to have your dude wander around the screen, and they auto-attack the hordes of monsters that head towards you. As time goes on you find new weapons and abilities, you level up and upgrade these, and your auto-attacks get sillier and sillier and more and more monsters turn up until you have no idea what’s going on. If you survive for 30 minutes then Death turns up and insta-kills you like the yeti on SkiFree, it’s hilarious.

There’s tons and tons to unlock and the game has this weird sense of humour. I’m also obsessed with the music from Stage 2. Not sure how much longer I’ll play it because I suppose it does get a little bit repetitive after a while but those 20-odd hours absoutely flew by (I was actually a bit shocked when I looked up how long I’d played it) and it’s super cheap so absolutely recommended
