EMBR RING REVIEW UPGRADE
You can upgrade your hose power, grab an ice accelerator, deployable sprinklers, breaching charges, throwing axes, a grappling hook, jump pads, slides, parachutes and trampolines. There's also a decent selection of upgrades and cosmetics to buy from the in-game store with money you earn for successful sorties. They all play very similarly, make no mistake, but it's enough that, had we been playing with pals, we're sure we'd have knocked a fair bit of fun out of it all. Your first run through a building may be a rescue attempt, but you can then choose to go again in modes that see you salvage as much as possible from a building before it collapses, rescue a special object for a client, deliver food to an inferno, or burn houses down while clearing out toxic barrels. There are more than enough missions - especially for the budget price - and each one unlocks a variety of different ways to play once you beat it for the first time. Let's not be entirely negative though, the basic framework is sound here. Slapping a snarky Canadian with a flaming barrel from range in this game, it turns out, is entirely pot luck. All in all it took us about three hours to make our way through every level here, a time that would have been a bit shorter if we hadn't spent quite a lot of it stuck in one particularly frustrating boss encounter that suffers due to the game's imprecise controls.
EMBR RING REVIEW PC
Both the PC and Xbox versions (and we're assuming the Stadia version) support cross platform play, but the Switch version is missing this feature and it hurts the experience big time.Ĭompleting missions in Embr earns you stars and you'll need a certain amount of these in order to progress forward onto higher level excursions. Yes, you can arrange to play four player with a few Switch-owning friends - there is no splitscreen local multiplayer here - but the most immediate and easy option for finding other people to party up with in Embr is, judging by our experience, an absolute bust.
EMBR RING REVIEW FULL
The first thing we should mention about this Switch port of Embr is that we could not, over six full days of trying, find more than precisely two online games to join, both of which only had one other player in their lobby. It's got the wonky physics, silly voice-acting, ridiculous stage layouts and upgrades that scream "this is all going to be a lot of over the top fun!" However, in reality it's all a bit of a damp squib. This is a bright and colourful multiplayer-focused mess of firefighting carnage that also presents itself as a wry satirical take on the state of 21st Century capitalism. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Īt first blush Muse Games' Embr put us in mind of riotous slapstick comedy titles such as Overcooked and Tarsier Games' excellent The Stretchers.
