"Plug in Digital and SUNSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that "Ikki Unite" (the legendary Hall of Famer of bad games) is now finally available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Plug in Digital and SUNSOFT.
Games Asylum: "Since their rebirth a few years ago, Sunsoft has made good on bringing their ‘80s and ‘90s hits to a new generation. At least, all of those without licenses attached. In addition to revivals of cult titles Ufouria, Trip World and Mr. Gimmick, the once prolific publisher has also seen fit to bring back one of the earliest Famicom games – one famous for all the wrong reasons. Ikki was a notoriously bad top-down shooter involving humble farmers revolting in a feudal Japan setting, frequently mocked by critics for its unfair gameplay and terrible music. Think along the lines of the Japanese equivalent of Fester’s Quest…which was also by Sunsoft. Oh."
"Plug in Digital and SUNSOFT are today very glad and excited to announce
that their crazy retro bullet hell/roguelite game "Ikki Unite", is coming to the Nintendo Switch on April 18th, 2024." - Plug in Digital and SUNSOFT.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Ikki Unite is not very polished or well-balanced, but once you get into a good run, with a character that’s actually fun to play as, it’s hard to put the controller down. As a blatant clone of Vampire Survivors, it does manage to copy some of that game’s most appealing features. Sadly, there’s not a lot of creativity in display. It’s just that: yet another Vampire Survivors, but inferior. One that won’t exactly make you want to put the OG down anytime soon, unless you’re REALLY into pretty much anything featuring a feudal Japanese coat of paint."
