Review:

Get Me Outta Here is an Arcade-style Action-Platformer where players take the role of a man abducted by aliens who awakens during the “procedure”, grabs a plasma gun, and needs to gun down waves of aliens (and weaponized farm animals) while a government representative wavers back and forth on whether to just nuke the whole ship in orbit.

It’s a cute premise, presented here with pixel art graphics that are decent, if a bit unmemorable. However, the most notable part of the presentation here are the highly-digitized voices that play throughout the game, which get annoying very quickly. It won’t take long of every dodge roll being accompanied by your character’s wheezy “hyah!” before you want to mute the damn thing.

For the gameplay itself, you’re limited to a small multi-platform area where you’re simply clearing wave after wave of different enemies that spawn in, including bosses. Players can grab grenade-like explosives to throw, and if they have a moment to do so they can hop into an isolation tank to heal, but other than that, you’ll be shooting the same weapon endlessly and dodge-rolling your way through enemies and bullets as countless enemies spawn.

To the game’s credit, there is some good variety in those enemies, and the bosses are decent and varied as well, but the basic core gameplay here isn’t especially novel or varied, which leads to things getting repetitive kinda’ quickly.

In the end, Get Me Outta Here is a decent time-waster of an Action-Platformer, but nothing you’ll find yourself wanting to play for an extended period of time. It’s not bad, but there are better games in this vein to play on the Switch.

tl;dr – Get Me Outta Here is an Arcade-style Action-Platformer where players play an abducted human blasting waves of aliens on a spaceship. There’s a decent variety of enemies to fight here, but the core gameplay remains constant and gets repetitive pretty quickly. Also, the digitized voices here are pretty annoying. All in all, this is game is okay, but there are much better options on the Switch.
