  • Little Inferno is a unique simulation game in which we burn toys, batteries, and lots of other items in a fireplace to get coins we can then use to buy more stuff to burn.

  • Little Inferno will not be everybody’s cup of tea and at some points, you will be really enjoying the experience and then all of a sudden think the opposite, it really is that kind of game. It’s a relatively enjoyable experience but I personally would try out the two other Switch games by the same developer first before becoming a pyromaniac in Little Inferno.

  • The Switch version of Little Inferno is a worthy update, adding two-player support as well as portability; it's also one of the Switch's most versatile titles, working in handheld mode with the console's touch screen, as well as in tabletop mode and TV mode with the option of playing in either single- or two-player, with each using a single Joy-Con as a pointer. Like other Tomorrow Corporation games, Little Inferno is both dark and cute at the same time. If the concept appeals to you it's a title still worth your time, especially at its modest asking price.

  • It’s got a style of its own, an air of mystery, and an engaging gameplay loop that is only weighed down by the odd tinge of repetition, a perhaps unnecessary delivery mechanic and a definitive end to the core experience. These issues will undoubtedly put some gamers off, but if you’re the patient type who longs for something unequivocally different to play on the Nintendo Switch, Little Inferno certainly delivers the goods.

  • ...if you absolutely must have this on your Switch or don’t already own it on another platform, Little Inferno is perfectly fine on Nintendo’s new box. The added cooperative functionality has some benefits, but I wouldn’t say you’re missing out if you opt for a different platform.

  • While no co-op mode exists as of this writing, the Switch version will be adding one in the next week. Even still, I’ve played through Little Inferno with multiple people as the communal fun of trying to figure out combos still works even when only one controller does anything. I don’t think Little Inferno is for everyone, but it sure as hell is for me.

  • Skirting the line between crazy virtual toy and surprising puzzle game, Little Inferno won’t be a hit with everyone. It’s just too weird and the game play too simplistic– especially at first. For those who do get it, it’s a truly creative and engaging virtual fireplace. The developing plot is funny, creepy, and clever.

  • I've spent hundreds of hours gaming in front of my iPad, but the three I spent with Little Inferno have been some of the most thought-provoking. Tomorrow Corporation asks the big questions about games, life and flammability. It also lets you burn things. All the things. Frankly, that's good too.

  • Armed with a truckload of sarcasm and moxie, Little Inferno is that rare game that you really don't want to finish.

  • The only thing more alarming than the sick and twisted world of Little Inferno is just how much fun it is to play in.

    About the game


    Burn flaming logs, screaming robots, credit cards, batteries, exploding fish, unstable nuclear devices, and tiny galaxies. An adventure that takes place almost entirely in front of a fireplace - about looking up up up out of the chimney, and the cold world just on the other side of the wall.

    Developer: Tomorrow Corporation
