Radio Squid
OpenCritic Score
Score Distribution
"Watching online playthroughs made me realize that other players were equivalently struggling. Admittedly, this made me feel a little less bad about my own failings. Seeing those players reinforced the two cores issues I have with Radio Squid. Coins as currency and lives combined with unforgiving gameplay that harshly penalizes the player for failing and lacking swiftier reflexes don’t form an experience worth investing in. All in all, I don’t think Radio Squid is truly an adorable lost cephalopod. There’s evident potential for fun here. Albeit with some significant tweaks to how the game plays and is overall constructed. If Radio Squid altered the item drop rate, made Upgrades available more often, and didn’t punish the player ludicrously severely for dying, this game could be something special."

About
Radio Squid casts you as a cursed cephalopod diving into ocean trenches to break a hex. Blast foes with projectile waves synced to pulsing music tracks while dodging your own ricocheting fire. The siren song ability lets you disorient enemies with brief audiovisual bursts creating openings. Each level layers new hazards and enemy types as you descend deeper for buried treasure. The rhythm-based combat demands timing and spatial awareness. Bouncing shots off walls adds tactical depth to encounters. With 40+ levels spanning PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, the single-player campaign balances action and exploration. Players appreciate the tight controls and escalating difficulty curve that challenges both reflexes and creativity.
