10 Messed Up Nintendo Switch Games You Won't Believe Exist
9. Roombo: First Blood
Clearly the result of a bizarre genetic splice of WALL-E, Home Alone, and Hotline Miami, Roombo: First Blood is a true oddity of a game.
Playing as a Roomba-style robot vacuum cleaner, the player must defeat burglars who have invaded the family home at Christmas.
Sounds fairly safe so far, right? Not really...
"Defeat" may have been a poor choice of words; "Murder" is much more appropriate.
By hacking smart tech like ceiling fans, fireplaces, fridges and various other household appliances, this little cleaner can crush and crunch the human invaders into piles of chum, and can himself obliterate the criminal element by charging headlong into their unsuspecting forms.
Upon successfully dispatching the home invaders throughout a variety of challenges with varying degrees of difficulty, the little vacuum cleaner must proceed to clean up the mess he has created before the family return, by sucking up and clearing away the various blood and viscera now scattered indiscriminately throughout the home.
A fun and entertaining game? No doubt.
Whilst Roombo: First Blood certainly ticks the "Colourful" and "Funny" boxes on the Nintendo gaming checklist, the violence and gore dispensed by a little robot hoover mark this out as a messed up game in more ways than one.
