Critic Reviews
Nefarious Review - No Evil Deed Goes Unpunished
Nefarious features unforgettable characters and interesting mechanics, but the substandard running and jumping make the game harder to recommend than it should be.

80%Nefarious (Nintendo Switch)
It’s hip to be square? Nah. It’s hip to be Nefarious! Grade A platforming, hilariously charming characters, and reverse boss battles make this indie stand out among a bloated genre. It would be downright nasty to give this title anything less than a perfect score.
