Our take

With its fast-paced chase mechanics and party-friendly design, Run for Money: Hunters vs Runners could offer great fun, especially in local multiplayer. However, the lack of a single-player mode and some rough edges in performance might deter more solitary players. Keep an eye on this one, but don't rush to pre-order until more details emerge.

Run for Money: Hunters vs Runners aims to capture that delightful, frantic energy of games like Mario Kart but trades racing for a high-stakes chase. The game features a straightforward control scheme, which is perfect for quick pick-up-and-play sessions. However, it’s bare in terms of content; with no single-player mode, the fun relies heavily on multiplayer interactions. Graphically, it won't win any awards - the visuals are simple and somewhat outdated compared to other current titles. Performance on Switch 2 is a mixed bag; while it runs smoothly most of the time, chaotic scenes can lead to frame drops. Still, the chaotic fun of friends chasing each other around various environments makes for some memorable moments, if you can get past the rough edges. If you’re looking for a game to bust out during parties, this could be a solid addition.

Pros

  • Engaging multiplayer experience that supports up to four players
  • Intuitive controls make it easy to pick up and play
  • Unique chase mechanic promotes exciting gameplay dynamics

Cons

  • No single-player mode limits replayability for solo gamers
  • Early build shows inconsistent frame rates during intense moments
  • Visuals are basic, lacking the polish seen in other Switch 2 titles

Players can choose between the Hunter, who must capture Runners, or the Runners, who need to evade capture across various stages. Each character has unique abilities, leading to fast-paced, strategic gameplay. The emphasis is on teamwork and quick reflexes, especially when playing against friends.

On Switch 2

On Switch 2, the game performs decently in both docked and handheld modes, but the occasional frame rate hiccup can detract from the experience, especially when things get frantic. The controls are responsive, making it easy to jump in and out of matches, perfect for quick gaming sessions.

Who it's for

This game is ideal for groups looking for a fun, competitive experience. If you typically game solo or prefer depth in single-player modes, you might want to skip this one.
