Hamsterdam by Muse Games is a fantastic looking beat em up where you get to play as a Hamster-fu master. Hamsterdam looks like it'll be an awesome addition to the Switch's growing library.
Hamsterdam: Paws of Justice is a game built around an immediately winning idea; what if an adorable hamster did kung-fu against other less cute, but still pretty winning rodents, in the style of old-school martial arts flicks. Who wouldn’t want to play that? Muse Games successful Kickstarter (15,000 dollars raised against an 8,000 dollar goal) proved that a market decidedly existed, and Hamsterdam was born. But a good idea doesn’t always birth a perfect product. And while Hamsterdam is a very sweet little game, with endearing visuals, its ambition never reaches the heights of its concept or veneer.
KeenGamer: ''Kung-fu has never been so adorable. Take back your town of Hamsterdam from the dastardly chinchilla Marlo, whose reign of tyranny is only eclipsed in ugliness by his face. Beat down all that stand in your way, whether through your own powers or the help of your furry comrades. Make sure to dress for the occasion!''
