  • The game offers simple and enjoyable gameplay mechanics, making it accessible for casual gamers and suitable for short play sessions.
  • The humorous and absurd premise, along with quirky character designs, adds a lighthearted charm to the overall experience.
  • The game is essentially an auto-runner with limited control, leading to repetitive gameplay and a lack of depth, which may disappoint players seeking a traditional platforming experience.
  • Funk of Titans suffers from technical issues, including low-quality graphics and performance problems, making it feel more like a mobile port than a polished PC game.
  • The soundtrack, while catchy, lacks the expected funk elements and can become tedious over time, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
  • music
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in "Funk of Titans" has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it lacks the authentic funk vibe one would expect from the title. While some found the soundtrack catchy and enjoyable, others criticized it for being generic and not truly representative of funk music, often describing it as more disco or video-gamey. Overall, the music serves as a light backdrop to the gameplay but fails to deliver the funk experience that fans might anticipate.

    • “The game's 2D environments and characters are well-designed and charming, and the music, which is inspired by different genres of funk, is catchy and upbeat.”
    • “As a funk connoisseur, I liked the soundtrack; it's easy listening but very decent.”
    • “At least the music's funky fresh.”
    • “It's a music game with boring music.”
    • “They used generic, licensable music and it's obvious.”
    • “The soundtrack is probably the weak link here... it doesn't strike me as actually that funky, it's very video-gamey with some elements of funk but none of the tunes really made me groove that hard.”
  • gameplay
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and simplistic, likening it to an auto-runner rather than a traditional platformer. While the colorful visuals and catchy soundtrack are praised, many feel that the mechanics are overly simplistic, relying on basic actions like jumping and slashing, which may not satisfy those seeking a more engaging experience. Overall, the game offers a decent variety of levels and challenges, but it struggles to deliver a compelling gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay consists of platforming and puzzle-solving, with players navigating through levels and collecting pickups while avoiding obstacles and enemies.”
    • “The gameplay is simple and enjoyable, with a variety of levels to play through and a variety of challenges to complete.”
    • “Its colorful art style and catchy soundtrack make it stand out, and the simple gameplay is enjoyable and satisfying.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it’s essentially an auto-runner dressed as a platformer.”
    • “With graphics that would look at home on a PS2 and gameplay that makes Paw Patrol: On a Roll look sophisticated, this is definitely one to skip.”
    • “Gameplay is repetitive and immeasurably boring.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising its colorful and vibrant art style inspired by Greek mythology and 1980s pop culture, while others criticize it for being reminiscent of PS2-era visuals. The character designs and overall aesthetic are noted as enjoyable, contributing to a fun arcade experience, but the technical execution is seen as lacking, particularly for a modern title. Overall, the visuals are described as charming yet simplistic, with a strong cartoony vibe that enhances the gameplay.

    • “Another aspect of the game I enjoyed were the character designs and the art style.”
    • “One of the standout features of Funk of Titans is its colorful and vibrant art style, which is inspired by Greek mythology and 1980s pop culture.”
    • “A strong cartoony aesthetic with a pretty large variety of different level themes fitting into the three distinct worlds.”
    • “It's far below the state-of-the-art visuals gamers expect as a result of their decisions.”
    • “With graphics that would look at home on a PS2 and gameplay that makes Paw Patrol: On a Roll look sophisticated, this is definitely one to skip.”
    • “Graphically, it's a straight mobile port of a Unity engine game, so you're looking at PS2-level geometry, texture and shadow effects combined with some very in-your-face lighting effects.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Funk of Titans" features a reimagined Perseus on a quest against rival music titans, but it is largely criticized for being nonsensical and lacking depth, with many players finding it unengaging. While the premise has potential, the execution falls flat, leaving the narrative feeling underdeveloped and overshadowed by the gameplay. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop than a driving force, with players expressing disappointment in its minimal impact on the overall experience.

    • “You play as Perseus (reimagined as a funky hero under the guidance of Zeus) on a quest to defeat rival 'music titans' like rap and pop.”
    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “But it's also painful to witness the potential of such an imaginative principle being wasted on such a banal principle, and I hope Crowd of Monsters revives funky Perseus at some point to give us a fully-fledged platformer one day, because goodness knows, the imaginative story and style deserves better than this.”
    • “The story is nonsense and creates strife within the music scene that simply doesn't exist.”
    • “To add to the misery of lack of content, the story is pretty much non-existent outside of the Steam description.”
    • “Funk of Titans is an auto runner game from 2015 probably best suited for mobile phones; the game doesn’t really have a story and just focuses on you hitting X or A (Xbox controller) to get through each level.”
  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is hit-or-miss, with some moments landing well but quickly becoming repetitive and tedious, particularly in minigames. While the art style is appreciated, the reliance on a few jokes, such as the main character's catchphrase, fails to maintain comedic value over time. Overall, players find the humor lacking and unoriginal, contributing to a less enjoyable experience.

    • “Great art style, with a touch of humor on the side. The music gets tedious after a while, but nothing that can't be fixed with your own music in the background (not an in-game option).”
    • “The humor lands occasionally, but repetition sets in fast.”
    • “The minigame, which involves Perseus riding the game's version of Pegasus (a jet engine with a horse's head mounted on it), is funny the first time, fun the next few times, and teeth-gnashingly tedious and monotonous once you've had to go through it the 50th time.”
    • “Finally, credit where it's due: the game is put together fairly well... for an unfunny mobile game with no freaking funk music in it.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be enjoyable initially, particularly due to its humorous art style and engaging minigames. However, as repetition sets in, many describe the experience as tedious and monotonous, especially after multiple playthroughs, leading to a desire for more variety or options to alleviate the grind.

    • “The minigame, which involves Perseus riding the game's version of Pegasus (a jet engine with a horse's head mounted on it), is funny the first time, fun the next few times, and teeth-gnashingly tedious and monotonous once you've had to go through it the 50th time.”
    • “Running games get pretty tedious very quickly on a computer.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report minor glitches affecting stability, such as occasional out-of-bounds issues, but these do not significantly impact gameplay or result in game-breaking experiences.

    • “I encountered a few glitches (e.g., one where I went flying out of bounds), but nothing too bad or game-breaking.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress.”
    • “I experienced several freezes during gameplay, which really disrupts the experience.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of "Funk of Titans" has been criticized as a cash grab, with users highlighting its $7 price tag as excessive for a low-effort mobile port that lacks the quality expected from PC games. Many feel that the game is part of a larger trend of subpar endless runners flooding the Steam platform.

    • “Funk of Titans is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it were a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers. The game is yet another of several hundred, if not thousands, of garbage low-effort endless runners plaguing Steam.”
    • “Funk of Titans has the greedy, cash grab price of $7 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While users appreciate the character designs and art style, there is limited feedback specifically addressing the depth and progression of character development within the game.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, as players can achieve 100% completion in about six hours, leaving little incentive to revisit once completed.

    • “It took me 6 hours to 100% the game, and it doesn't have a whole lot of replay value.”
