Killer Queen Black For Nintendo Switch Review
Read the full review above
Thanks to the wonderful people at BumbleBear Games & Liquid Bit. I got the chance to try the anticipated competitive indie game, Killer Queen Black. Killer Queen Black is an intense, online, multiplayer action/strategy hybrid. Up to 8 players complied of 2 teams compete against each other. Hop on the snail, hoard berries, or wipe out the enemy’s queen to achieve victory.
Now this game has received quite a bit of buzz in the indie gaming community. It received its popularity from its first appearance at the arcades and convention show floors. So today, I’ll see if this game can live up to its expectation. Before I start, keep in mind that I barely got the chance to play the multiplayer game mode. That’s because it was due to me living in Australia and most reviewers live in the US so there was a strict time restraint to play with them.
The Buzz Of War
For a simple-looking indie game, this game has quite a bit of depth to its gameplay aspect. Like I said before, the game is a multiplayer action/strategy hybrid game. What I mean by that is why this game is a fast-paced action game. You still need to think on your toes while on the battlefield and think about what you should do to help the team. There are two types of characters you can play as. The Drones, which focus on defending the Queen, moving the snail, collect berries and attack the opposing queen. The Drones can transform into Warrior Drones to kill the opposing Drones and Queen. Or they transform into Speed Drones.
Then there’s the star of the game, The Queen. The Queen’s role is to survive as much as it can, activate warrior gates for the workers and fight against the aggressive enemy force. While the Queen is powerful, you must be careful as you only have three lives. And if the Queen lose all three lives, it’s game over. The gameplay is surprisingly very fun, especially if you’re the Queen. You have to be quick and be able to predict all the other opposing members maneuvers so you can survive. But that’s just the core gameplay, now let’s talk about some of the core strategies.
