The Smurfs Mission Vileaf Nintendo Switch Review | A Suprisingly Good 3D Platformer?
Ойындар
The Smurfs head to the Nintendo Switch with The Smurfs Mission Vileaf, a 3D platformer, but is this a cash grab or a respectable use of the license? Well I'm surprised honestly but it has issues as well.
Go on an adventure to save your forest!
In a dusty grimoire, the wizard Gargamel just put his hands on the formula of an evil plant: the VILEAF.
This plant produces “VILETRAP” seeds, which can attract and imprison Smurfs… but these VILETRAP plants are also a great danger for the forest, as they are TOXIC, especially for the sarsaparilla fields!
PAPA SMURF decides to ask some of his fellow Smurfs to help him find the ingredients for a super powerful antidote for all the plants sick from the VILEAF.
Thanks to the SMURFIZER, an invention from HANDY SMURF, go on an adventure to find the ingredients and free your fellow Smurfs… and save the whole village!
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Embody 4 iconic Smurfs: the Smurfette, Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf and Chef Smurf in 5 different worlds
- Use the Smurfizer to heal the Vileaf contaminated plants on your way to Gargamel’s hovel
- The Smurfizer will also make you jump, glide, dive, vacuum… keep a good timing to overcome every obstacle and beat your enemies
- A subtle mix of platforming and exploration gameplays: find your way through vertical levels and explore them to uncover every secrets
- Give life back to the Smurfs village by making progress and improve the Smurfizer by finding items spread around the levels
- A game for every Smurfs fan, young or old, but also for every 3D platforming game fan!

"Schtroumpfs" in French 😁 Je te schtroumpfe une bonne journée.
Most of the time when people complain about frame rates, I never notice anything myself. So I never take frame rate issues to heart when someone says something negative. With that said, this looks like the best Smurfs game I've ever seen. That one on Wii U (Smurfs 2) bored me to death. I'll definitely be buying this game.

Thanks for covering this. Not a huge Smurfs fan here, but this does look like an enjoyable game - minus the frame rate issues, ofc. Maybe one to wait for a patch/sale then. On to the wishlist it goes!
as licensed IPs go, I think good quality games can be elevated with favorite characters and worlds. if only big corporations realized that it isn't ONLY about the characters.
This game is brilliant and not as innocent as you think. You still gotta be good at platforming as the game goes on. The Smurfglider and sprint abilities you must master or those collectibles can go bye bye! And those painful vines! Looks are deceiving, be on your guard!
Played on PC, and still had framerate issues. But the gameplay was surprisingly polished, especially for a b-title, and I had a lot of fun. I also lol'd when voice actors actually said stuff like "Holy Smurf!"
Saw this on sale today. Amd I guess I am getting this one. Thanks for the review🙂
I read the games name as "The Smurfs: Mission Vile AF" My brain might be broken but made me laugh!
I had never heard of this game, but I'm a sucker for 3D platformers, so might at least need to add it to the wishlist.
great review! i was hoping this was going to be great at launch, either way i love the smurfs and this channel.
Smurfs were in comic strip in 1959 in European and in Smurf Cartoon series in America in 1981 which ran until 1990.
Putting this on my Christmas list for this year. My 6 year old son will love it. Thank you
On sale now on Switch. 13.99😊
This is the best game i never knew that i needed, its genius
I like the fact you weren't sniffy about this because of the license. You gave it a fair crack of the whip, shame the frame rate tanks. Maybe they'll patch it (hopefully they do).

Keep em coming Alex! Lol yeah, am here for reviews too
That's a little unfair, this game is nowhere near a 4/10. I have no issues with the frame rate, but I'm playing the PS4 version. Maybe that's just an issue with the Switch version but that flaw is on the console, not the game. I'm a Smurfs fan, but I was so terrified that this was going to be a very cheap, super easy game because it's not a super popular franchise. But it's not. It's fun, challenging and very beautiful! It honestly kind of reminds me of Banjo-Tooie with a pinch of something like Kingdom Hearts. There are some areas where the game could improve, like you said, it might be cool to have some fully animated cutscenes or if it were a little longer. But the game cutscenes are good and it's definitely a great starting point if the developers continue a game series from this. I personally give it a 9/10, but I think most would agree it's at least an 8/10.
I loooved the cartoon in the 80s re-runs !!!
Loved the 2D one on Wii U. I will be picking this one up as well
More fun than the GTA trilogy

That’s not a lie at all, I walked away from this thinking, I had fun with this and it’s ashame to see the few issues really holding it back, GTA, I turned it off and questioned what they had done. Smurfs got more love and respect for sure
Wish both Psychonaut games could come to Switch. Would love that
I will very likely get this one once the price goes down a little bit.
I’m really exited for this game to come out I have it pre ordered for the ps5 it’s gonna look so good on it and I have the collectors edition for the switch but this is just a switch review for the game
I love a good 3d platformer, I might have to get this one.
I thought it looked good so thank you for the review
my guess is the limit on the smurf-izer is implemented to stop sequence breaks with unlimited hover

It’s tough with games like this, you can see the good but you gotta recognize the problems. Tbh a game you love or can’t stand, that video is easy, the tough ones are when you like it and it has glaring issues and figuring out how you can justify that. Appreciate the comment!

True, kids won't care about the frame rate. I didn't care about it when I was a kid to be honest. But now that's the first thing I'm concerned about.
Looks decent. Graphics is good for a Switch (low res textures here are not that harmful as it is on PS5).
Thank You.
Its smurfin time
I’m def gonna get this once it’s 15$.
I want difficulty to be like Mario games like Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, MArio Galaxy, etc. Which difficult should i select on Smurfs game? Medium?
“There’s a co op” 🤩 “A robot that can’t be hurt” 😒
This is smurftastic
How long is the game please and thank you
Thought this game would be duff, but I was wrong it a good game to lose a few hours a day on to de-stress
BACK IN THE FIFTIES???!!! I'm not THAT old!
Gotta love that Papa Smurf. A real hands-on elected official.

It’s a shame performance issues happen on games like this that seem perfect for the switch which should be the system that gets preferential treatment as it’s considered a family console.
So after watching this I went and bought the ps5 versions cause of the performance lol and the ps5 framerate is ridiculous, I should have gotten switch it actually looks more solid. Lazy work there is no need for framerate drops on ps5 . Get the switch version.
Basically open world
