Dash Bomber writes, "Launched on April 28th 2016 Lost Reavers was a free-to-pay game exclusive to the Wii U. Developed by Bandai Namco and released to almost universal disdain, Lost Reavers is an objectively awful game. But, while this brings me pain to admit it, I love this game. LR brings almost nothing unique to the table, with 4 characters on a quest to find a relic at the end of the level and bring it back to their safe zone. Players can obviously tell that Bandai Namco took zero risks with this game, yet I can’t help, but to play it every day after work."
Reviews by Matt S.
Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are smaller or shorter games, or they might be free-to-play and therefore don’t really need a review at all. But because I love you all so much I review 'em anyway.
Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable writes: "With no major releases in sight for the Wii U, many Nintendo home console owners are either eagerly awaiting one of the few scarce unreleased games or eShop titles for any form of entertainment. In a rare occurrence, a third party title, Lost Reavers, has made its way onto the Nintendo eShop. The four-player action-shooter is a welcomed addition to a console with limited games, but can it provide an enjoyable experience until the next release or will it be lost under the weight of the rest of the Wii U’s digital library?"
Nintendo Life: "Lost Reavers is bitterly frustrating. Not awful, not unplayable, but frustrating. There's a great idea in here somewhere - at times it even manages to shine through - but there's far too much awkward padding and grinding repetition without the depth of gameplay that keeps players coming back for more. The best thing about it may well be that it's free to download right now on the eShop, so there's every reason to give it a try and maybe even get a few friends together into a group. It's worth a shot, but we can't be the only ones who see the potential here yet mourn the lifeless end result."
There's a lot about this game that needs improvement, but the fact that it's a free game gives it some leeway to become a worthwhile mindless distraction at the very least.
5 out of 10 is a fair score for this, but I gotta say that despite how simplistic it is, I had fun with it.
I played this game a few times, its okay the first hour, then you come to realize, that's it, that same task over and over.
It graphics could have been done on Cube/PS2/Cube.
Boring, and would not pay a dime for it!
