Squirrel with a Gun (Switch 2)

Squirrel, meet gun. In Squirrel with a Gun for the Switch 2, you take on the role of the neighbourhood’s most obnoxious rodent. Having developed a sudden knack—and a perhaps a worrying love—for crime and mayhem, you must embark on a quest for golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer. Your journey begins with a daring escape from a secret underground facility, where you must fight tooth, claw, and gun to defeat the mysterious Agents. Discover exactly what an erratic squirrel is capable of with a firearm in its paws, and find out just how far this fuzzy fiend will go to secure its prized collection of nuts.

The world is your playground in this chaotic sandbox experience. You can explore the environment from a squirrel’s eye view or cruise around the suburbs in your very own toy car. Interaction is key; you can choose to harass the local residents or ask for nice pets from curious passers-by. Helping the neighbours can earn you valuable goodies, though you always have the option to simply mug them for their belongings. As you progress, you can unlock various cosmetics to customise your squirrely style, ensuring you look the part while you cause havoc. Whether you are helping or hindering, the goal is always to locate secret bunkers and take down elite bosses—you can even try your luck at blowing up a tank.

Beyond the shooting, the game features intricate puzzle rooms that require a creative use of your arsenal. Navigate unique platforming challenges to collect golden acorns by mastering weapon recoil to give yourself a vertical boost. With 12 different types of enemy takedowns to try, you can swap out weapons to find the most satisfying way to deal with the Agents. Collecting enough golden acorns will allow you to unlock hidden sections of the game world, providing even more opportunities for mayhem. The increased power of the Switch 2 brings this ridiculous premise to life with fluid performance and vibrant detail, making every explosion and acrobatic leap feel more impactful.
