  • The game offers a unique blend of gameplay styles, including ARPG, driving, and mini-games, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging.
  • Voice acting and humor are well-executed, adding depth to the characters and making the game enjoyable.
  • Despite its low-poly graphics, the game has a surprising amount of content and depth, making it a worthwhile purchase for fans of the genre.
  • The developers have seemingly abandoned the game, with no updates or communication, leading to concerns about its future.
  • Co-op functionality is broken and does not work as advertised, causing frustration for players hoping to enjoy multiplayer.
  • The game suffers from balance issues, particularly with weapons and loot, making some gameplay elements feel repetitive and unfulfilling.
  • story
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as a mix of cliche 90s-style storytelling and a somewhat confusing narrative centered around the protagonist, Bern Pierron, who embarks on missions to reclaim the wastelands. While some players find the lore and character interactions engaging, others criticize the humor and translation quality, leading to a lack of immersion. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop for the gameplay, with side quests providing additional context and rewards, though it may not be compelling for everyone.

    • “It made the story much easier to get immersed into.”
    • “Interesting storyline with twists.”
    • “The story is strange but coherent enough, with all of the characters having different personalities and you get to meet outlandish NPCs along the way.”
    • “With cliché 90s style storytelling, it's the type of game you don't need to think critically: just shooting enemies, taking side quests, driving from town to town, farming legendary items, playing fighting mini-games, changing costumes, and watching pretty girls.”
    • “As much as story can be unimportant for this genre, I found the one proposed in G2 Fighter overly filled with mediocre humor and memes; the janky English translation quality doesn't help with that either.”
    • “The story is confusing; I even skipped some parts, but it is mainly about Bern Pierron (the protagonist) trying to discover the truth behind something.”
  • gameplay
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of G2 Fighter is a blend of various mechanics, including exploration, character management, and combat, with a focus on innovation through unique systems like gene fusion and mini-games. While it offers a solid loot-based ARPG experience with diverse gameplay styles, such as hack-and-slash and vehicle exploration, it is somewhat hindered by limitations in skill combinations and balance issues. Overall, players appreciate the variety and novelty, though some aspects may require further refinement.

    • “Gameplay overall is quite solid as an ARPG.”
    • “At the core, this title plays out as a standard loot-based ARPG, but it aims to give some spice to the base formula by introducing uncommon gameplay choices and variations, such as skills being learned and upgraded from books rather than with points after leveling, open world vehicle exploration, and various mini-games such as Street Fighter-style combat sessions or accuracy-based challenges.”
    • “+ Good gameplay variety thanks to mini-games, open world exploration, and unusual progression mechanics.”
    • “Overall, G2 Fighter is a decent ARPG that tries a lot to innovate with novelty mechanics and progression systems over the base formula, but only partially succeeds and is also held back by debatable balance and design decisions.”
    • “Only 1 combat and 1 movement skill can be actively equipped, preventing skill combinations completely, which is a core ARPG mechanic.”
    • “A mechanic called gene fusion, along with its own mini-game, allows the player to inherit companion abilities, though the details are not very well explained.”
  • graphics
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disdain for the low-poly, "Roblox-like" aesthetic, while others appreciate the depth and detail in the art style, including comic and anime influences. Despite the simplistic visuals, many users noted that the animations and overall presentation are well-executed, contributing positively to the gameplay experience. However, there are strong sentiments against the graphics style, with some reviewers suggesting it detracts from the game's potential.

    • “Don't let the low poly graphics fool you; there is more depth in the game than you would expect.”
    • “An art style that doesn't skimp on detail but doesn't try to be in your face about it.”
    • “Amazing graphics, animations, sounds, and effects.”
    • “I hate Roblox-like graphics and, in turn, thought I'd enjoy this game.”
    • “In closing, I hate Roblox-like graphics.”
    • “Tl;dr: A frustration to play through that offers nothing new to the top-down shooter genre besides using Chinese cartoon portraits and Minecraft graphics... don't buy even at $15... wait for a sale... for an early access title?”
  • humor
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players enjoying the hilarious voice acting and clever references, particularly to The Witcher. While some found the humor to be hit-or-miss, with instances of mediocre jokes and memes, many appreciated the overall comedic tone and engaging narrative style. Overall, the game delivers a fun and entertaining experience, reminiscent of the humor found in titles like Borderlands 2.

    • “The voice acting is hilarious, and the Witcher references are awesome.”
    • “I've laughed out loud so many times while my roommate is trying to watch Netflix, it's hard to count.”
    • “It's been a very long time since I've played something like this; it has that Borderlands 2 feel, with so much loot, satisfying combat, and some added silly humor and nice voice acting.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as generic, lacking originality and failing to impress music enthusiasts. While it incorporates various styles such as 80s synthwave and medieval themes, it ultimately does not enhance the overall experience, especially when paired with poor translations in the game's text.

    • “The music features a blend of 80s, cyberpunk, Blade Runner, synthwave, medieval, scary, and cowboy themes reminiscent of Grim Dawn.”
    • “The music captures a unique atmosphere with its diverse styles, making it an interesting backdrop for the gameplay.”
    • “The soundtrack effectively enhances the game's immersive experience, drawing players into its world.”
    • “Music is generic, so music enthusiasts won't miss much with this game. The terrible translations for summaries, books, and logs just detract from the whole experience. I get the 'English is not my first language' thing, but really, this isn't even trying.”
    • “Music is generic, so music enthusiasts won't miss much with this game. The terrible translations for summaries, books, and logs just detract from the whole experience. I get the 'English is not my first language' thing, but really, this isn't even trying.”

  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is reminiscent of classic titles, focusing on repetitive tasks like shooting enemies, completing side quests, and farming for legendary items. While it captures the nostalgic feel of grinding for gear, players find that the lack of exploration in skill mechanics forces them to rely heavily on grinding missions and random drops to understand their abilities. Overall, it offers a straightforward, albeit unoriginal, grinding experience that appeals to fans of the genre.

    • “Absolutely a throwback to the old days of grinding for that one item that you want to complete your loadout that isn't truly necessary but you want so badly.”
    • “A mode that seems to take those grinding concepts from games like Diablo, Destiny, Borderlands, and The Division.”
    • “However, the skills were not properly explored, meaning that the only way to find out how these skills worked was only through grinding missions, random drops, or purchasing from merchants as these are the only possible ways to test them out.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    G2 Fighter offers excellent value with high-quality content and humor, though it could benefit from some localization optimizations. Performance improvements, such as reduced volume light consumption, have also been noted, contributing to a generally positive optimization experience.

    • “For its price, G2 Fighter is giving you gold content, gold humor, and with a few fixes (mostly localization optimizations), a generally gold game.”
    • “Reduced the consumption of volume light, improved performance.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express concern about the potential introduction of microtransactions, indicating a desire for the game to avoid intrusive monetization practices.

    • “I only hope they don't add stupid microtransactions.”
