Scribblenauts Showdown is the sixth game in the Scribblenauts franchise. It was released in America on March 6th, 2018, and in Europe on March 9th, 2018.

Gameplay[]

Unlike previous entries in the series, Scribblenauts Showdown is multiplayer-oriented. Up to four players compete against each other in over 25 mini-games, including "wordy-type" and "speedy-type" games which offer various challenges. The game also offers a sandbox mode more akin to previous entries, with 8 different levels to explore.

Development[]

After the cancellation of Scribblenauts: Fighting Words, developer 5th Cell announced heavy layoffs, downsizing the company to a fraction of its former size. As such, Scribblenauts Showdown is being developed by Shiver Entertainment. It was also the first game in the series to be developed by a studio other than 5th Cell.

Reception[]

Scribblenauts Showdown received mostly mixed reviews, with Metacritic, giving it a 47/100 score on Switch, a 64/100 score on the PS4 and a 66/100 score on Xbox One. Nintendolife gave it a 5/10 score, saying that "while its mini-game focus does suit the local multiplayer ethos of the console, it ends up feeling like a discount 1-2-Switch."
