What players say

Players say this is a fast-paced local multiplayer brawler best enjoyed with friends on the couch, with simple controls and matches that last only a few minutes. Many wish for online multiplayer, and opinions are split on the bots being either too easy or too accurate. Some compare it to a mix of Nidhogg and Gang Beasts, but others feel it lacks the depth and unique mechanics of those games.
