NERF Legends (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

The enemies you fight in each level are one of the more upsetting aspects of this Nerf misadventure too, as you fight the same handful of robot creatures over and over again and exactly none of them are interesting.

When that doesn’t happen, it either tells you that no lobbies exist for you to join (presumably because no one else is playing) or asks you to make your own public lobby and wait for others to join. Nerf: Legends thrusts you into a futuristic, sci-fi world where you’ll come face-to-face with legions of robot enemies and ultimate boss masters. Collect dart powerups such as magnetic push, magnetic pull, seeker darts, and freeze as you play to change the tide of battles.For years, generations of kids have staged all-out NERF wars, where the foam darts fly in fun, fast paced competitive battles. Players are given a pretty varied selection of appearance options to try and create an avatar to their liking.

Set in out-of-this-world locations such as Fortress Siege, Jungle Trouble, Ragnarok Showdown, and Spaceport Blastoff!I got so used to zip lines causing issues that seeing those yellow lines in the distance gave me anxiety at what fresh hell I was about to encounter.

Unfortunately, with the exception of the final boss who does some barely interesting ninja moves like cloning copies of himself, these boss encounters do nothing to separate themselves from normal combat. It’s so irritating I actually preferred to just not pick up healing items or even let myself die sometimes because the beeping doesn’t happen when you respawn. It’s disappointing to see a concept with so much potential to be an entertaining, lighthearted FPS squander it so entirely with a broken, harrowing cash grab, but even masochists looking for something to heckle should steer clear of this mess.Extreme Games Meet Nerf set in out-of-this-world locations such as Fortress Siege, Jungle Trouble, Ragnarok, and Spaceport Blastoff! A complete lack of functional multiplayer, not respawning upon death, and guns not working correctly aren’t the only bugs you’ll find in this foam-covered catastrophe either. NERF Legends thrusts you into a futuristic, sci-fi world where you’ll come face-to-face with legions of robot enemies and ultimate boss masters. Nerf Legends is a painful first-person shooter that manages to suck all of the fun out of its over-the-top plastic weapons with abysmal gunplay, tedious puzzles, tons of bugs, and a multiplayer mode that literally doesn’t work at all.

That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. Whenever you have less than 50% of your health, which happens regularly, you hear a loud heartbeat that doesn’t go away until you heal. Because that’s what I remember most fondly from those childhood Nerf fights with my brothers: all the melee attacks. Nerf: Legend's intense single-player campaign will feature a multitude of challenges and boss battles across 19 different locations.Unfortunately, if you choose not to heal to avoid the beep, you get the heartbeat sound, so you can choose between your preferred version of hell. So far as I can tell from the reports of others online as well, there’s just no way to get multiplayer to work currently – but let’s be honest, we probably all dodged a foam dart there anyway.
