“A great 3D arena brawler, Combat Core has the 'pick up and play' accessibility of a party game while providing room for a lot of technical depth once you understand how the various mechanics work.”
“Honest review: very addictive and solid gameplay.”
“It's fun to play with friends and its gameplay is different from most fighting games nowadays.”
“The game's mechanics overall for an arena-styled fighter are the worst I've seen... it's soooooooo bad!!!”
“Gameplay is dull, haphazard, and lacking any depth; no potential for a competitive meta-game, character customization is awful, and customized characters' appearance looks like a bad fan drawing compared to other actual characters.”
“Incredibly small arsenal of moves with barely any depth of gameplay.”
