Our Summer Festival 2 Nintendo Switch Review 7/10 "A Bunch of Mini-Games Set in a Japanese Festival" 🎈 @SAT_BOX_2011 #IndieGame #GameDev

We’ve covered a few Sat Box games here at GF, with the most recent being the very enjoyable Desktop Golf. This newest title takes us away from the links and instead plonks you and up to three other players in a Japanese festival in which you will find yourself doing everything from fishing through to dancing, and even cooking!

Visually, this is classic Sat Box, with big cartoony characters and bold, bright colours. The music riffs on traditional Japanese music with a modern touch. In terms of the gameplay, this is very much a title that is more fun the more people are involved. 

The fact that a lot of these mini-games are quite specific to Japanese culture makes it quite a fun venture for someone such as myself, as these are so different to the mini games in other collections, that said – they can initially be a bit baffling!

The accessibility is also top notch here, with the simple controls popping up before each event, allowing you to understand what’s about to happen.

Full mini-game list below:

[Yo-Yo Fishing]
Catch yo-yo balloons!

[Shooting Gallery]
Aim at the yokai creatures and shoot!

[Yakisoba Cooking]
Cook up lots of yakisoba, and don't forget the sunny-side-up eggs!

[Daruma Drop]
Hit the blocks, but don't let the Daruma fall down!

[Goldfish Scooping]
Scoop up goldfish and watch out for special ones!

[Ramune Chugging]
Drink ramune as fast as you can, but mind the marble!

[Candy Apple Making]
Make candy apples to match customer orders!

[Lottery Game]
Test your luck! Pull strings and win prizes!

[Bon Odori]
Enjoy dancing the traditional Bon Odori!

[Danjiri Racing]
Ride your danjiri cart and race to the finish line!

SUMMARY
Definitely one for some multiplayer family action, Our Summer Festival 2 is a funky little game that teaches you a thing or two about Japanese culture, as you battle for the coveted top spot of Festival Master, good!

7/10
