Attention Geometry Wars fans! Sektori is one of last year’s best arcade shooters, and it’s out on Switch 2 today
Sektori, a critically acclaimed twin-stick arcade shooter, has launched on Nintendo Switch 2 following its initial release on PC in November 2025. Developed by Kimmo Lahtinen, a veteran of Sony-owned Housemarque where he spent 13 years working on titles like Returnal and Saros, the game draws heavy inspiration from the beloved Geometry Wars franchise, particularly Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.
The game flew somewhat under the radar during its PC debut, releasing during the crowded November period when players were absorbed with major holiday releases. However, it quickly developed a devoted cult following among arcade shooter enthusiasts. Critics have praised Sektori for its ability to capture and even surpass the essence of its inspiration, with some reviewers declaring it the new standard-bearer for the twin-stick arcade genre.
The Switch 2 version is positioned as an ideal home for Sektori, with the game’s pulsing techno soundtrack and fast-paced, geometrically-styled visuals complementing the platform. The title features demanding arcade mechanics that are accessible to learn but challenging to master, embodying the core twin-stick shooter experience. With its Switch 2 release, Sektori has the opportunity to reach a significantly broader audience and cement its status as a modern arcade classic.
