Monkey Barrels is the definition of a solid-but-safe top-down shooter.

Monkey Barrels is a solid game if you look for a fun, cartoony approach to shooters. There are some things that would be improved or polished but, overall, it’s an enjoyable experience.

Monkey Barrels is a great twin-stick shooter that perhaps plays it a little too safe at times. There's a fantastic selection of unlockable guns and grenades, with some providing excellent visual treats and strategic advantages, but the level design leaves a lot to be desired thanks to its repetitive nature. The unlockable multiplayer mode is a decent distraction that's fun for a while but ultimately lacks the same depth as the main story mode. There are stronger twin-stick shooters available on the Switch, but this is nevertheless a welcome addition.
