- I was extremely happy to learn that Runbow was coming to the Nintendo Switch. Although the game does provide virtually the same experience as the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS version, it’s still extremely fun to play with someone at your side. Countless hours can be had while playing “Run” mode, while “Arena” and “King of the Hill” are worth trying at least once. You shouldn’t deprive yourself from this experience, making Runbow a must-play game on the Nintendo Switch.
Peter Lopez · Jul 06, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Runbow is a fantastic, colorful, energetic platformer with great style and plenty of content for both solo and group players. At the very least, it is definitely worthy of a spot in your “great multiplayer games” folder.
Zachary Miller · Jul 05, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The gameplay is great fun, the presentation is to die for, and unlocking Nindie heroes through a really nicely put together adventure mode is the icing on the cake. We felt there was a little left to be desired with some elements of the multiplayer modes, and this might just make some think a little harder before jumping in, but we absolutely recommend giving this one a go if you’re interested regardless.
Ryan Craddock · Jul 02, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall, Runbow Pocket is just as fun as it was on the Wii U with plenty of content, plenty of costumes and characters to unlock as you go through. There is just the one pretty big omission from this release that stops it being a good replacement for other versions, that being the local multiplayer. If you can get over that or if you are only looking to get the game for its single player component, then there is plenty to enjoy about Runbow Pocket. It’s a fun, colourful game that is worth jumping in and out of, which is what the New Nintendo 3DS is great for.
Jamie Ward · Nov 08, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - With more shade than a Dulux colour chart, Runbow is a multiplayer marvel and manages to run at great length with such a simple idea. With a roaringly sax-orientated soundtrack to boot, it easily ranks tall among the Nintendo eShop’s ‘Nindie’ darlings.
Alex Seedhouse · Dec 06, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Runbow is a game about playing spoiler. It's about you knocking your friend into a wall of spikes just as they're about to capture the cup. It's about a hostile environment trolling you as the next cascading color rips the platform you were aiming for from underneath you. But most of all, Runbow is about laughing at the colorful chaos on screen, regardless if you're on the giving or receiving end.
Jeremy Signor · Oct 09, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - It’s certainly worthy of your attention if you frequently have guests in your home looking to play some fun new video games, but don’t expect it to boast the same kind of longevity as its local multiplayer contemporaries, especially on a console that already boasts the likes of Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land, and Super Smash Bros.
Paul Tamburro · Sep 15, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - If you love party games, Runbow is definitely a game to add to your library, even for the single player Adventure mode it’s worth it. There are hours of replay-ability in the Adventure and Bowhemoth modes, tons of unlockable content, and of course hours of fun online or local multiplayer. With six different game modes you’ll never get bored. This is a game you don’t want to miss out on; so pick your favourite controller, invite some friends over, and start the party.
Charles Adams · Sep 07, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - The best way to describe Runbow is that it feels like the kind of idea that would’ve made for a creative series of one or two levels in a Mario game, but here that’s the entire game from start to finish with little variation. I can’t stress enough that you probably just shouldn’t bother with Runbow unless you have at least three or four friends with whom to play with on a regular basis.
Thomas Ella · Sep 07, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Local party multiplayer has definitely taken a hit in recent years, but games like Runbow prove that they very much still have a place in today’s gaming realm. Offering a splendid amount of content in one package that can be enjoyed in both single and multiplayer, the colorful Runbow easily deserves a spot in the party game lineup for any Wii U owner.
