  Conan Chop Chop is a conflicting game to play. For every clever or charming idea, there’s another idea that doesn't pan out or isn't implemented ideally, making the whole experience uneven. That, combined with multiplayer mostly being an option only if you know people already playing, makes Conan Chop Chop more disappointing than fun.

  With a simple but cute art style that’s hard not to love, and an enjoyable gameplay loop that sees you hacking and slashing your way through a range of well-designed enemies, there’s plenty to like about Conan Chop Chop. If you dig roguelikes and enjoy being challenged to improve yourself with each subsequent run, it’s well worth jumping into.

  Considering it was originally conceived as a joke, the fact that Conan Chop Chop might actually be the best Conan game of all time goes to show the sheer amount of dedication put into it by Mighty Kingdom and Funcom. Sure, it has issues, but its absolutely dumb art style coupled with a borderline arcadey “pick up and play” gameplay loop resulted in a nearly addictive roguelike experience that fits like a glove on a portable like the Switch.

  I smiled at her and told her we can talk about when she’s older, but for now we can play some more Conan Chop Chop. Publisher Funcom, has for many years been the home of Conan when it comes to video games and seeing them branch out to various genres (Conan Exiles, Conan Unconquered, and Age of Hyboria) brings so much joy to this old man’s heart. To me, the world of Hyboria that Robert E. Howard created back in 1932 is peak fantasy, and any chance to play around in that world is a chance worth taking.

  There aren’t too many roguelites that let players join up together to take on the quest, let alone offer an array of characters that do very different things. Conan Chop Chop may have once started as a joke and took a few years to get here, but there is quite some fun and glory to be had in this adventure. It will be better with friends along for the ride, and even then, luck can be unmerciful. That said, Conan Chop Chop's massive amount of weapons and Gear allow for a wide array of play styles on each character. Mix the chaos of co-op into that and This game is more of an extended good time than simply an April Fools punchline.

  Conan Chop Chop is a combination of challenging combat and rogue-lite mechanics that reward repeated runs and never leave you feeling defeated, even when you die. This is a game with much more depth than its colorful and cartoony style suggests. It’s also much more fun with others. Played solo or with a group, though, Conan Chop Chop’s gameplay loop and enjoyable combat are addictive and compel you to try just one run, over and over again.
