Pac-Man 99 is a variation on Pac-Man, which enriches the classic rules of this cult arcade game with elements taken from the battle royale genre. Bandai Namco company is behind the development and release. The game is available for free for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Mechanics

At first glance, Pac-Man 99 does not differ much from what we are used to from its original. During the game we take control of the game' hero, who moves through the maze and eats balls scattered in it. At the same time, the protagonist must avoid colourful ghosts wandering around, because an encounter with one of them ends the game. However, the protagonist is not completely defenceless, because after he eats one of the special power balls (clearly bigger than the others) all the ghosts turn blue and can be eaten by him for a short time.

Shacknews: 9 / 10 by Donovan Erskine

PAC-MAN 99 is another hit for Arika, this time with one of the most iconic arcade games of all time. It’s a bit surprising just how well Pac-Man fits into the 99-player battle royale format, but that’s just a testament to the work done by the developers. PAC-MAN 99 has me excited for whatever the developer’s put out next.

Impulsegamer: 3.85 / 5 by Bennie Fulks

On the Nintendo eShop you can buy cosmetic changes to the stage and backgrounds, but you can also unlock the 3 other modes. CPU Battle – Compete against 98 CPU players. Score Attack – Beat the high score. Blind Attack – Clear the stage before time runs out. Extra content but not worth it unless you really want those modes. Price depends on your region.

GamesCreed: 3 / 5 by Dewan Zawad

I’m still regularly confounded about what’s happening, and why, yet it’s amazing how the bones of Pac-Man fit so flawlessly into a fight royale experience.
