How it feels

A colorful, retro-styled brawler with straightforward combat that encourages strategic timing and special moves.

What players say

Players say the game is fun in local multiplayer, but the online is dead and the single-player suffers from AI that gangs up on the player. Characters share special moves and there are only 4 stages, making it feel repetitive. The story is short, and the inability to rebind keys makes a controller necessary.
