Milanoir is a fun, and gritty take on the 1970s showcased in Italian crime movies, and the game does a great job at presenting this on Nintendo Switch. The gameplay is solid and entertaining, there's a nice variety of stages, and the minimalist character design has allowed the team to distill the movie stereotypes down to their essence.

Overall, Milanoir is a very fun title.
Hardboiled and undercooked, the story and tone of Milanoir are dead on target, but the shooting doesn't quite hold up against the tough difficulty.
Milanoir captures the essence of 70's gangster films well, but it's all style and no substance. The writing is juvenile, the difficulty ramp is ridiculous, and the persistent glitches sour the whole experience. If you're someone who seeks accomplishment in conquering an absolutely brutal challenge, you might find some enjoyment here. Otherwise, there...
Milanoir is a twin stick shooter that offers a nice atmosphere, but it suffers from gameplay and difficulty issues that make him very frustrating.
