Right off the bat, Boomerang Fu does visually impaired players no favors in the visual department. I also deal with eye strain if I have to focus too precisely for too long. I have color vision, but no depth perception. My visual acuity fluctuates between 20/100 and 20/500 depending on if I’m wearing contacts and how tired I am. The game is also available on Xbox One and PC.Ībout me and my play style: I have albinism. I am reviewing the Nintendo Switch version. So will Boomerang Fu be a game that comes back time and again? Unlike most Battle Royale games, you play as various food items, and your main weapon is a boomerang. If you’re looking for a great, local multiplayer title to play with some friends/family, definitely check out Boomerang Fu.Boomerang Fu is a new hack and slash, Battle Royale style game that takes an unconventional approach by supporting local multiplayer only.

I’d put it up there with other great indie multiplayer co-op games like the Overcooked series and Moving Out ( Check out our Overcooked review). At $14.99, it packs a lot of replay value and is one of the stand-out multiplayer games on the Switch. I really can’t recommend Boomerang Fu enough. It shouldn’t mess up your timing but it has the potential to just like it could in NSMB. Think of it as a momentary stutter like when a character dies in the New Super Mario Bros. You’ll notice some moments where the game goes into a ‘slow-mo’ mode of sorts, but that’s to emphasize the slices/dices that happen. The game features a solid frame rate, even with six players. The simple visuals also make it easier to distinguish between the characters on-screen and the playable environment. The visuals in the game feature a great art style that fits the silly motif of the game: various food items duking it out.

three bots or a full six friends split across two teams. Each mode has its appeal, but the team deathmatch was my most-played mode.

You can choose to play in three different game modes: free for all, team deathmatch, and a king of the hill mode where you need to hold onto the golden boomerang for a full minute. We recently got to try out a full six players, and it was a blast! People were yelling and cheering during and after each round.
Speaking of which, six players will be able to play locally. There’s so much that can happen in each round playing against the bots or especially playing against a group of friends. Although the game rotates through 20+ levels or so, it felt unique each time. This makes for some really fun scenarios. You can land hits against your foes both when the boomerang is thrown and also on its return trip (and even strike multiple enemies in one throw).
The physics of the boomerang work as you’d expect. These can be used for up close and personal melee attacks as well as long-ranged assaults. At a basic level, the game is a hack-and-slash with one primary weapon type: boomerangs. The gameplay in Boomerang Fu can be summarized in two words: ‘sublime chaos’. And now, a new game may end up being another contender for your multiplayer video game nights: Boomerang Fu. The Switch has been especially ideal for these types of games too. Nintendo consoles have always been host to some stellar multiplayer titles: the Mario Kart series, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Mario Sports games…the list goes on.
