Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly is a clever, comical, completely accessible combat game that’ll appeal to arcade action fans of any age level. Gameplay is tight, the characters are engaging, and the music is simply outstanding. The Royal Guardsmen would definitely be proud…even if Snoopy himself is called out here.

Critic reviews
- 5.8Baron: Fur Is Gonna Fly is a reasonably fun party game for friends and family to play. The planes steering dynamics take a little bit of time to get used to, but the controls are simple enough for most to pick up and play. I feel there is only a limited amount of variation here though, meaning you’re unlikely to get much longevity out of things. Online play would’ve helped, but really the point is to get some friends crowded round on the sofa.
- Baron is a game that never fully reaches its full potential. There’s a decent foundation here, but not enough variety to make it interesting for long play sessions. Nevertheless, the fantastic soundtrack is worth checking out, and although the core of the game is a shallow affair, there is some fun to be had with the multiplayer mode. Here’s hoping Dogmelon will bring the Baron IP back in a title that has more to offer.
- If you’re the kind of person who routinely has the chance for eight-player multiplayer sessions (or hosts video game-themed panels at conventions), Baron: Fur Is Gonna Fly is a fantastic addition to your Switch library. Aside from that, it’s harder to recommend, but the local multiplayer gameplay can be a riot.
- 7.9Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly has a nostalgic feel to it, with the old-school single screen gameplay, newspaper style game commentary and the period inspired music. And it is a heap of fun with a few friends, or with family. Indeed, I played with two of my daughters and it was a game where we weren’t arguing with each other afterwards. The cute visuals, funny catchphrases and comical special weapons give the game an entertaining atmosphere.
- Baron: Fur Is Gonna Fly fails to capitalise on the initial charm of its characters and soundtrack, with players likely to tire of the somewhat simplistic gameplay after just a few rounds. With a few more tweaks and better plane visibility, Dogmelon Games could have saved this title from a crash landing.
