Rainbow Ascend is like Onlyup!, a game where you… go up, except it is somehow even worse. I don’t know how the developers did it, but they created pure unadulterated Garbage. You’d be excused for not thinking its crap by the story artwork, or stationary screenshots. But it is when you start playing that you realize how horrible the game is. Rainbow Ascend starts off with pretty artwork and forgettable story line about a sick grandmother and a map. It pretends to be deep, it really is not.

You then start off running and jumping up a path made up of a variety of objects floating in the air. It is here where Rainbow Ascend comes crashing down. You see, the controls are awful. You’ll plunge to your demise easily because you stepped in the wrong spot, and have to start again from the checkpoint. Then you’ll try, try again, and eventually give up as I did. Remember the ascent to the Wind Temple in Tears of the Kingdom, and how awesome that was? This is the exact opposite of that section. No fun, all frustration.

Rainbow Ascend: Anime Girls Go Up will get a Garbage Verdict with a three back end score. At least the game is functional, barely. But the lure of anime panties does not mean one should purchase this game. Just the opposite. Run from this game. You’ll fall to your death so many times because of how bad the controls are, you’ll throw the Switch in frustration. It just ain’t worth it.

Overall: Rainbow Ascend: Anime Girls Go Up has panty shots, and that’s all the game has going for it. Go play something else instead.

Verdict: Garbage
