gameplay
12 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of "Gentlemen!" features frantic mechanics and gravity-swap elements that provide a unique experience, especially in local multiplayer settings. However, it suffers from a lack of variety and depth compared to higher-budget games like Super Smash Bros., and its appeal is limited by the need for multiple players and keyboards. While it may be enjoyable at a lower price point, the repetitive artwork and limited arenas may leave players feeling that it doesn't offer sufficient value for its cost.
“The game probably doesn't hold up as well as some bigger-budget party games, but its gravity-swap mechanics give it its own flavor and it easily merits the tiny asking price.”
“The mechanics are fun and the gameplay is frantic.”
“If you like local multiplayer and frantic gameplay, this one's worth buying on sale or in a bundle, and even at full price, I doubt you'll be disappointed.”
“The game itself looks like a Unity engine mess with cheap sprites moving way too fast and a gimmicky walk-on-ceiling mechanic.”
“But there are multiple problems plaguing the gameplay.”
“Were the price significantly lower it would be a harder call, but at $10 with only about a dozen arenas, simply drawn and repetitive artwork (one character is barely more than a color swap), and gameplay that loses its charm after you learn how to play, I can't see anyone getting their money's worth out of gentlemen!”
