Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold

Overall, Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold is a fun title. It's exactly what it sets out to be and it does so surprisingly well. While it’s not particularly complex in terms of either gameplay or story, there are surprisingly layered mechanics worth delving into if you enjoy light dungeon crawlers, roguelike games, or loot-based systems. Because of its jack-of-all-trades nature, each individual component isn’t as fleshed out as it would be in games devoted solely to one mechanic. However, when these components are combined, Snack World creates a unique system more than capable of scratchin...

The Nintendo Switch is no stranger to ports from other consoles, particularly the 3DS, the newest of which being Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold. Let’s take a bite out of this snack and see if it is worth the extra calorie intake.

It’s brash, it’s messy at times, and it’s not exactly a good-looking game, but I can’t help but like Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold. Its silliness is endearing, its larger-than-life characters will make you chortle despite yourself, and even if you’re not an immature child, come on – it’s hard not to laugh at a negative status effect that makes your character constantly fart. It’s a title that proves to be excellent value for money, too. The main campaign will take you at least 25-30 hours to beat, and if you’re having fun, dozens more hours can be sunk into end-game content. As long as...

Stuffed with juicy content but might be too much of a mouthful for some.

Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold is a journey with highs and lows. The gameplay itself is quite entertaining with cool weapons and slick movement. On the other end, it is also very grindy, with dialogue that can become real grating. Some of these problems fade away in multiplayer, which makes it such a missed opportunity to make that aspect a bigger focus. Snack World isn't a bad game, but it’s somewhat misguided in how it wants to present itself. If you can deal with the frustration, you will find that the dungeons themselves can be fairly entertaining.

Unless you are a die-hard dungeon crawler, I don't see this game holding your interest.

Snack World works as a tasty, but not entirely satisfying, appetizer, with too much filler and some strange balancing choices.

Snack World really isn’t my thing. As much as I am a fan of Level-5, the pitch of this one is out, and as such, too much of it falls flat. It’s a satirical game that’s trying too hard and if it was funny, then the jokes it makes would be directed at its own faults as a game. It’s a workable dungeon crawler without being inspired, but unlike the rest of Level-5’s library, this one is focused on being attractive to one demographic at the expense of just about everyone else. Where most other Level-5 games are a joy and delight, this one really felt too much like a slog.
