Tokyo Scramble (2026)

Tokyo Scramble proves that putting dinosaurs in a game does not automatically make it good. You still need things like level design, controls, and fun. Right now, the only thing that’s extinct here… is my patience.

Tokyo Scramble starts with a few interesting ideas, but it never manages to make them entertaining. Between the messy story, unclear stealth, recycled enemies, and a gameplay loop that quickly wears thin, this ends up feeling unfinished. I kept waiting for it to click, but in the end, it simply didn’t.

​I wanted to like Tokyo Scramble so much. A Switch 2 exclusive horror with dinosaurs and a generous dose of that sweet, sweet jank is exactly something I can get behind. Trust me, I can somewhat look beyond janky visuals and horrendous sound, but what I can’t get beyond is just how devoid of fun this game is. ​It’s stiff, awkward, and restricting, much like the undercity in the game, which is the nicest thing I can say about this one. Tokyo Scramble is a scrambled mess of poor choices and bad gameplay, and I couldn’t recommend this one to even the most seasoned horror jank veterans.

On paper, the Tokyo Scramble concept isn’t bad. A survival horror game with post-apocalyptic vibes and dinosaurs? Sounds like a wild ride. There are moments of creativity and clever design, but these are overshadowed by monster maze monotony. Tokyo Scramble feels half baked. It's clunky and the story pay-off for patience is not worth the investment. Exercise your own patience, Jurassic Park it for now, and wait for the game to go on sale.

TOKYO SCRAMBLE isn't a perfect game, and some aspects like repetitiveness and visual limitations are noticeable, but it manages to create tension and keep us hooked thanks to its stealth, exploration, and strategic resources. The underground setting of Tokyo and the Zino offer moments of genuine tension, while the multiplayer adds an element of intrigue by allowing players to tackle the adventure cooperatively. Although it falls short of Adglobe's more polished productions, it offers an entertaining experience for those who enjoy constant danger and strategic planning. Overall, it's a game that may appeal to fans of stealth and survival, though it has room for improvement.
