"In a world without fish…" is just the kind of opening line that will be enough to get many people ‘hooked' on Nintendo's new venture (co-developed by indieszero). Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido does just that.

Fun; very Japanese art style and voice overs; Great puzzle mechanic; RPG element adds variety; Multiplayer is enjoyable

Puzzles can get a bit repetitive; Story mode drags a little; Small issue with non-touchscreen play; Some RPG elements underutilised

In Sushi Strikers, you aren't sliding colored gems into groups of three or more on a grid, but the part of your brain that sparks when three of the same thing disappears after you make them neighbors lights up here.

Puzzle games aren't games that typically grab me but when Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido was announced I had a bit of an interest. Not because I love Sushi – I hate seafood – but because it looked like a fast-paced puzzler that might just be able to replace Puyo Puyo Tetris, which I still revisit...

Think about the most delicious food you've ever eaten. After savoring your meal, was your gut reaction... to throw your empty plate at the person across from you This is how every single character in Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido operates.

It has long been a commonly held belief that puzzle games are particularly suited to portable gaming. It's probable that this perception has something to do with the very first Game Boy, what with its small screen and four terrible variants on grey/green which made it hopelessly hard to see what was...

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a bit of an odd one, both as a game and in terms of its plot. Taking on the role of lead character Musashi, you'll be diving headfirst into a world where sushi has caused terrifying wars and devastation, dividing the morals and behaviours of its inhabitants.

Its premise may border on ridiculous, but behind its wacky veneer, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido hides an expansive package. Despite its short runtime, there's a lot of charm packed into its campaign, and plenty to do once the credits have rolled.

Nintendo has a way of making weird little puzzle titles that devour my time: Pocket Card Jockey was a 3DS title from two years back that I ate up, while 2015 brought a Puzzle and Dragons two-pack with a traditional campaign, and one themed around Mario and friends that I spent countless nights after...

Quirky; lovable story and art style; Deep and strategic yet simple gameplay mechanics; A lot of replay value with online multiplayer and post-campaign content

Later levels can rely on grinding a tad too much; Cutscenes are incompletely voiced; which causes abrupt pauses in in-game text scenes

Ok, so I have been playing Sushi Striker The Way of Sushido for about a 8 hours over sunday and today and feel i can give quite a in depth review now - what might look like a very strange game is actually very fun and addictive the main aim of the game is to throw or ‘strike' platters of sushi at...

Sushi striker is a charming game to play! Almost like an anime with the length and amount of cut scenes though (you have the option to skip all cutscenes and rewatch them) the game is simple yet fun! Plus Cristina Vee voices the main female character!
