![]() Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Slapping a snarky Canadian with a flaming barrel from range in this game, it turns out, is entirely pot luck. All in all it took us about three hours to make our way through every level here, a time that would have been a bit shorter if we hadn't spent quite a lot of it stuck in one particularly frustrating boss encounter that suffers due to the game's imprecise controls. Both the PC and Xbox versions (and we're assuming the Stadia version) support cross platform play, but the Switch version is missing this feature and it hurts the experience big time.Ĭompleting missions in Embr earns you stars and you'll need a certain amount of these in order to progress forward onto higher level excursions.

It's got the wonky physics, silly voice-acting, ridiculous stage layouts and upgrades that scream "this is all going to be a lot of over the top fun!" However, in reality it's all a bit of a damp squib. This is a bright and colourful multiplayer-focused mess of firefighting carnage that also presents itself as a wry satirical take on the state of 21st Century capitalism.
