Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition surprised me with its addictive “one more try” gameplay cycle and a refreshing co-op multiplayer mode. It’s also another excellent example of how the Switch is becoming the ideal platform for indie developers. Lichtspeer didn’t wow anyone on PS4 but it’s a welcome addition to the Switch.
Just a small independent project by an equally sized development team obviously having a bit of fun with a simple concept that works. Sure, it’s shallow and somewhat repetitive, but the feeling of popping the heads of several made-up Germanic creatures in succession as the body count rises is undoubtedly a satisfying one. With added New Game+, as well as a ragequit mode for the complete gluten for punishment, there’s enough challenge here to even keep the Gods happy.
Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition can be both a fun and rewarding experience for those wanting a quick challenge. Otherwise, the fun of throwing neon-colored spears at wave of enemy after enemy can wear thin fast alongside its difficulty curve, which is sure to get your blood pressure rising.
