Manticore - Galaxy on Fire is a perfectly passable entry in a genre that's awfully neglected on the Switch. It's not without its problems though. The game's mobile lineage is evident throughout the experience thanks to its cardboard storytelling and bite-sized missions.
Manticore Galaxy on Fire is an excellent third party adventure on Switch that does suffer a bit from repetition and its overall difficulty.
"As I browsed the Nintendo Eshop store for a recent release, I came across Manticore: Galaxy on Fire, a mobile port of a sci-fi space shooter that leaves its microtransactions, wait times, and various free-to-play elements behind. While Manticore is still priced at what I feel is a bit too high, it can still offer an engaging experience that rewards you for progressing and I found myself playing the title for hours at a time.

Manticore - Galaxy on Fire won't be for everyone, and to get the best out of it you need to view it as more than just an exciting space shooter. It's glossy, slick and content rich, and outside of the odd cheesy line and unsubtle character portrayal, Fishlab's title rarely missteps. If all you want to do is fly and shoot, you'll have an enjoyable - if repetitive - time. But throw yourself headlong into the game and you'll live every space fantasy you've ever had. Well, maybe not the one with Eccentrica Gallumbits of Eroticon Six.
