Reception

''Little Deviants'' received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. '' IGN'' said, "It's a decent piece of (admittedly overpriced) software. And its pretty, vivid graphics and surprisingly catchy old-school inspired soundtrack certainly please aesthetically. But a strong hook doesn't exist." '' Edge'' gave it five out of ten, saying, "''Little Deviants'' real problem is simple: it's not moreish, and its challenges fail to reveal the kinds of nuance on the second and third tries that will have you refining strategies and aiming to better scores. Without that incentive to return, you're unlikely to." '' EGMNow'' gave it four out of ten, saying, "What should've been a fun collection of minigames showing off the Vita's capabilities ended up a completely unappealing tech demo. There isn't enough game here to justify the price."
