Review:

Toilet Hero, originally released as Skibidi Toilet Hero on PC in 2023 before being ported to Nintendo Switch in 2024, is a First-Person Shooter where players fight off wave after wave of enemies that look like heads popping out of toilets.

Are you laughing? Do you find the above image absolutely hilarious? Because if not, this game has nothing of interest for you.

As First-Person Shooters go, this is a pretty old-school take on the genre, with unlimited ammo (but players still need to reload), a lot of running backwards as you shoot rushing enemies, and a lot a lot of circle-strafing. There are occasional enemies that shoot you, but mostly they rush at you, doing damage when they collide with you. Alternately, killing enemies heals that damage.

The gameplay would be a pretty boring and uninteresting… if it worked right. However, you are constantly bouncing around in a manner that is extremely distracting and makes it difficult to aim. Enemies get caught on scenery frequently. Levels have jump pads that are wildly inconsistent, make no sense, and are often functionally useless. The level design is linear and boring. Enemy variety is minimal at best. The gameplay is repetitive. And none of it is actually fun.

This game’s 3D visuals feel like they could have come from over two decades ago, with boxy, low-poly environments and enemies that seem like they’re something someone made messing around in 3D design software and were so amused with it they built an entire terrible game around it.

Then there’s the sound… ugh. The music is really somber and quiet for a game this absurd, then when enemies spawn it jarringly changes to electric guitar-heavy metal music… only to change back once you finish off the enemies. In the meantime, your character lets out poor man’s versions of Duke Nukem-esque voiced lines. “You wanna’ play this game?” No, I don’t, actually.

I suppose I could have filled this review with bathroom humor and poop puns, but Toilet Hero is not worth even that low amount of creativity. It’s a game built around a single joke that’s not even very funny, with some pretty terrible First-Person Shooter gameplay. Unless you’re dumb, drunk, or stoned enough to giggle at the toilet enemies, you don’t want to play this.

tl;dr – Toilet Hero is a First-Person Shooter where you fight enemies that are heads popping out of toilets. That’s it, that’s all this game has to offer. The gameplay is terrible, the sound is a confused mess, the graphics would have looked dated two decades ago… unless you can’t stop laughing at the image of a head popping out of a toilet, you should absolutely not buy this game.
