The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its solid mechanics and unique style, while others find it repetitive and lacking in variety. Although the unconventional approach may not appeal to everyone, it doesn't significantly detract from the overall experience. Ultimately, the game struggles to fully realize its comedic potential and engaging gameplay.
- “The gameplay feels solid, and as you can probably expect, the protagonist is comedy wrapped up in a yellow 70s jumpsuit and an afro.”
- “The game has a solid premise that would be good for some great laughs and varied gameplay.”
- “Funk of the Titans is a game with its heart in the right place, but repetitively boring gameplay and QTEs keep the charm from winning out in the end.”
- “I don't know why they've chosen to take this approach, and I personally would have preferred a more traditional platformer. It doesn't hinder the gameplay too much, and you do get used to it. Otherwise, so far I'd have to say the gameplay feels solid.”
