Dumpster Fire Rebirth [Switch] Review – Grin and Bear it – Gamezebo

Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Fireplace Rebirth is an extremely foolish identify, and that is an extremely foolish sport. 

A 2D platformer that revels in how low hire it’s – all of the character fashions look terrible, and the animation is shonky past perception – it’s an enormous aid that that is really way more playable than it seems. Not that that might be even remotely tough.

You play because the titular Dumpster Bear, who has gained nice powers due to an unlucky incident involving a dumpster and poisonous waste. The plot, informed through frequent cutscenes, is as fundamental because it will get. However the script is hilarious and weird, and I at all times loved what deliberately melodramatic line or plot level was going to be thrown at me subsequent.

The platforming itself is fundamental, along with your major strikes being a touch, double bounce and a wall bounce. That is a part of the enchantment although, as a result of the motion is the large draw.

Leaping round these phases is vastly satisfying, with Dumpster Bear being a nimble fellow. 

Bear-ly holding itself collectively

The precise stage design itself is pretty simple, with a variety of weird enemies thrown your method and the emphasis is on quick motion previous all of them.

There’s some selection thrown in through boss battles and power-up centered phases, together with ones the place you get the flexibility to throw an infinite quantity of bombs. Getting a brown bear to chuck a stream of bombs at a military of marching cows shouldn’t be one thing I’ll ever overlook. 

There’s a sure enchantment to this sport that may be very arduous to elucidate while you take a look at screenshots or watch footage of it. It controls properly and there’s simply sufficient selection to maintain you enjoying, if solely to see what weird character mannequin you’ll encounter subsequent.

Nonetheless we discovered Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Fireplace Rebirth’s uneven presentation usually bled into the gameplay somewhat too usually. 

We discovered a bug within the very first stage that crashed the sport for instance, and generally the shonkiness could make seeing the place to go and what to do tough. Particularly within the bonus 3D sections, which regularly veer somewhat near being unfair and irritating.

It is a price range title, however one with extra allure than most video games on this value bracket. So it is a arduous title to attain. For followers of ironic low price range kitsch this could possibly be a 4 star sport – for these unable to look past the visuals this could possibly be a one star expertise.

Finally although, for those who’re on the lookout for a brand new 2D platformer to play and don’t thoughts a number of tough edges you might actually do worse.

The great

• Strong controls
• Nice sense of humour
• The worth is correct

The dangerous

• Many unfair deaths
• Maybe somewhat TOO janky
