- The simple yet well-thought-out structure of the gameplay certainly makes an impulse purchase easy when expecting friends over. It may seem like a long time coming for those who have been pining for a portable version of SpeedRunners to hit the Nintendo eShop. Well, it’s here now and, three years later, players can finally compete wherever they go.
Alex Seedhouse · Feb 09, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - My time spent with Speedrunners on the Switch was more than enough to change my mind from my previous impression. Overall, it’s a solid game for single players, but local co-op is a blast and should be welcome at any gaming party.
Heath Shusterman-Zimmerman · Feb 05, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall, SpeedRunners provides the foundation for an excellent party game and is certainly enjoyable with the right crowd. However, the lack of multiple modes and sparse single player content make this package feel like more of a mini-game. With the Switch hosting hundreds of multiplayer games that deliver a similar but fuller experience, like Runbow, it’s hard to recommend this one. If you’re looking for a more robust multiplayer experience, you may want to look elsewhere.
Brett Posner-Ferdman · Feb 03, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re after a new addition to your social multiplayer pile, this is an easy sell. Sure, it’s a little old considering its long history on myriad platforms, but it’s hard to deny just how enjoyable and easy it is to pick up, even for younger Nintendo Switch owners. The support for local and online multiplayer is great, as is the ability to play through the story mode solo, but the intermittent issues with performance in handheld mode does put a few wrinkles in this hero’s costume.
Dom Reseigh-Lincoln · Feb 02, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While the single player affair is pretty lackluster, SpeedRunners is definitely a gem in terms of multiplayer. It’s a game that will get you to group up with buddies regularly, and one that will make you sweat due to how intense matches can get. It’s really a must buy if you enjoy platformers.
Tyler Treese · Apr 21, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While not perfectly suited for the small screen, SpeedRunners provide a fantastic multiplayer experience that is easy to jump in, but hard to master. If you’re a solo player, it may not keep you hooked for long, but grab some friends, and you’ll have fun like never before.
Jhonatan Carneiro · Feb 04, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It may pose a steep learning curve for new players – or those unready to keep up with an intense high-speed platformer – but for anyone with a taste for bright-colored battles of speed and wit, SpeedRunners is a must-have.
Daniel Pruzina · Feb 02, 2017 Reviewed on PC - SpeedRunners is the very definition of couch co-op excitement. Getting together 3 other friends and racing around a track, with physics and controls this tight, is thoroughly enjoyable. While the art may be a miss, and some further explanation of the game would definitely help, this is a game that is definitely meant to be explored with other players. Get a group together, and get ready to take off, because SpeedRunners is doing anything but slowing down.
Thom Compton · May 06, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - All told there's a lot of trimmings on offer, but the core game, the competitive platforming, is stronger than ever, and it's still the main reason to pick up the game. This is a very good multiplayer game that's at its best when played locally. The netcode seems strong, and we didn't encounter any issues on that front, so playing online with friends is certainly an option too.
Mike Holmes · Apr 21, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - SpeedRunners is a perfect party game, with a deep competitive scene. A worthy title for any Steam library!
