Death Squared

Death Squared might have launched on Steam, but it feels like this game and the Nintendo Switch were made for each other. Deceptively smart puzzles, an endearingly smarmy sense of humor, and organic, instantaneous multiplayer all at a great price make Death Squared a must-buy on Switch.

Love the Portal games? Love robots? Love comical robot death and cooperative multiplayer action for one, two or four players? Then you'll love Death Squared, the new mind bending puzzler from indie developer SMG Studio. Read more in our review!

This colorful, robotic puzzler will get your friends talking and laughing -- even as they die. Repeatedly.

The game’s difficulty naturally increases through the wide selection of puzzles on offer, but the game is at its hardest in single player. It’s just a little easier when 2 or 4 players are communicating and providing suggestions on how to overcome an obstacle on the road to solving a puzzle. Local co-operative multiplayer is really entertaining, even when a puzzle seems too complex with gameplay r...

In short, Death Squared is an incredibly fun puzzle game for Nintendo Switch. While it may be unrewarding for second playthroughs and in-game progression, the fact that there are over a 100 levels means that players who love puzzle games will love this too.

If you're desperate for a local co-op puzzle game, then Death Squared will certainly scratch that itch. However, lack of variety in levels means that it can get pretty monotonous very quickly.

Death Squared is an adorable cooperative puzzle game that is available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Made by Sydney based development team, SMG Studio, I first got to try Death Squared late last year at PAX Australia. Since then things have only gotten bigger and better for the game which I was able to discover after I sat down with the title, experienced its narrated story, attempted to comprehend it...

These exchanges are anywhere from cute to annoying, and this extends to some loading screens where bits and pieces help to fill in the blanks of what appears to be a corporate and squeaky clean future for humanity. Funnily enough this has the occasional effect on gameplay – when David gets his hands on some more advanced controls, he tinkers with the game settings and reverses your controls. This ...

The visuals are nothing overly stylized or special, opting towards the Portal feeling that Death Squared gleefully emits. There’s nothing wrong with this, as the clean style perfectly fits the lab setting, it just means that the visuals themselves don’t stand out. The music fits into the same category, as the majority of the tracks are somewhat forgettable electronica songs. The voice acting, as p...
