Oh boy, Dunk Dunk. Sounds like that wild party game you didn’t know you needed, right? Anyway, the title’s from Playtonic Friends and Badgerhammer, and if that doesn’t sound like the coolest ensemble, what does? So, picture this — a basketball game on the Nintendo Switch, but with a twist. (And yes, basketball. Because why not mix that with a party?)
You’re not just shooting hoops; it’s like a crazy, off-the-wall arcade thing. Imagine a bunch of people — up to 16, if you can believe it! — trying to outdo each other, all while dressed as nutty mascots. Seriously, who even thinks of this stuff? You can go solo, or drag your whole crew into the madness.
Now, settings — ha, they didn’t skimp on locations. You’ve got a nice mix. Some places change the game up, like Creep Peak with its tricky gates. Makes you wonder if this was designed just to mess with everyone, right? One second you’re on solid ground, the next you’re just… falling. But hey, back to the top you go.
Also, gameplay modes. You got Quick Match, Mutator Madness, all-out Tournament — yes, the works. Mutator Madness is a hoot, swapping rules like it’s a game show. Think Roller Derby meets sci-fi. Who thought random mutators would become a thing, honestly?
Anyway, speaking of controls, imagine trying to aim and dunk using your arm with a joystick. It’s ridiculous. One of those things that sounds easy until you’re in the thick of it, you know? Maybe someone pulls it off smoothly, but that someone’s not me.
Visuals? Oh, they’re colorful, firm in the “we’re here to be wacky” department. There’s something about dunking a ball while dressed like a giant duck — or whatever — that just feels… right? Or maybe we all just love a bit of chaos.
There’s even more to unlock. Costumes galore, new game modes popping up, and mutators. You stumble into Vegan Apocalypse… and suddenly life makes less sense, but in a good way. It’s not about competition as much as it’s about having a laugh — who can say no to that?
Just to wrap it up — priced at $14.99. Seeing the chaos it can unleash on a friendly hangout, seems like a fair deal. If you’re looking to fire up the festivities while dunking some virtual hoops and donning a bizarre mascot outfit, Dunk Dunk’s probably the fix you didn’t know you needed. Or, who knows, maybe your future weekend ritual.
