All in all and Crunching Koalas have pulled one out of the bag with Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition. It’s super addictive, has stunning visuals, a soundtrack to die for and delivers one hell of a fun gameplay experience that just ramps up even more when played in local co-op. Other than being a little tricky for any solo player to complete alone, there is very little to not like about this spear throwing simulator, and with the promise of Rage Quit and New Game+ modes enticing anyone back once the campaign is complete, should deliver many an hour of gameplay goodness. Yes it’s weird, but in the case of Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, weird is good.

Lichtspeer is nonsensical, bloody, and a joy to behold. It suffers from repetition, and stages that drag on a little too long, but is a worthy experience for those possessing the willpower to tackle this challenging title.

Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition is a fine addition to the Switch eShop. Its presentation is stunning and its gameplay will leave players feeling completely spent after each play session. There were nights playing the title where my nerves were completely fried but I felt the need to clear one more level before bed. That sort of difficulty level can be a huge turnoff for some, but the game feels far more rewarding than unfair. Lichtspeer is definitely an unusual title, but that’s all part of its charm. It’s certainly not a game for everyone, but if a game with hipster ice giants and buckets of blood sounds up your alley, you’ll love Lichtspeer. Nintendojo was provided a copy of this game for review by a third party, though that does not affect our recommendation.

While both the difficulty and frame-rate issues hold Lichtspeer back from a perfect score, it's still a fantastic title that all indie players should play at least once. Pros: - Strong gameplay. - Amazing level and enemy depth. - Unique presentation. Cons: - Difficulty can feel too high. - Occasional performance issue. You can get Lichtspeer right now on Xbox One for just $9.99. See on Microsoft Store (opens in new tab) This review was conducted on an Xbox One, using a copy provided by the publisher.

Lichtspeer is a fun distraction from the current avalanche of triple-A fall titles; one that you will be able to dip in and out of as you please, thanks to its simplistic gameplay and control mechanics. Never demanding a huge investment from the player, but rewarding them if they put the time in.
