"Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is a pretty enjoyable few hours and certainly fun with friends. Just make sure they’re around the same area as you since you use your single player team to fight them. It’s not a massively long …"
Read original review"Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia it&s;s not the best "Pokémon-type" game. Indeed, it feels a little bit limited, simple and repetitive, with combats that tends to be long than in other games... But its "bite sized" orientation, with gameplay elementes more …"

"Bakugan: Champions of Vestoria is a more than decent brawler that brings some interesting new ideas and mechanics to the brawls. Having your Brawler run around the battlefield chasing energy pads is a clever way to activate the player during …"

"Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is certainly the best of the recent Bakugan video game adaptations, though it’s far from a masterpiece. The world is neat, and WayForward does an excellent job with the Bakugan creatures themselves. Battling is solid, as …"

"Champions of Vestroia is a dull and uninspired title that doesn&s;t make justice to neither the talent of Wayforward nor the original franchise. It&s;s best to avoid it, for now at least."

"Technically speaking, Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia isn’t exactly a showcase title for the Nintendo Switch. In addition to the lack of a minimap, there’s no save function or even the slightest hint of autosave. You just have to trust the …"
Read original review"If you’re a fan of Bakugan, there’s no doubt you’ll get a kick out of Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia. It’s a great-looking game, and seeing those huge beasties in battle for the first time is quite a thrill. But the …"

"Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia attempts to shoehorn the long-running franchise into a Pokémon Let&s;s Go-style affair aimed at younger players but does so with absolutely zero care or charm. This is a lazy, repetitive, basic game that slowly erodes your …"
Read original review"Similar in terms of structure to your typical Pokémon game, yet with less-than-interesting plot and a not very clever combat system."
Read original review"Despite being largely well-made, Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia gets stale and repetitive after the first few hours. Everything outside of the main story is incredibly tedious and feels like it was added solely to pad the game&s;s length. Younger Bakugan …"
