  • Gentlemen! offers a charming and visually appealing aesthetic, with a unique Victorian theme that enhances the gameplay experience.
  • The game is fast-paced and chaotic, providing endless fun and laughter during local multiplayer sessions with friends.
  • Its simple mechanics make it accessible for players of all skill levels, allowing for quick pick-up-and-play sessions.
  • The lack of single-player mode and online multiplayer limits the game's appeal, making it only enjoyable with a group of friends physically present.
  • Repetition can set in quickly due to the limited number of arenas and weapon types, which may lead to boredom over time.
  • The absence of a quit button and confusing controls can detract from the overall user experience.
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "gentlemen!" is characterized by its fast-paced, unpredictable mechanics that encourage strategic play, particularly in local multiplayer settings. While the unique gravity-swap feature adds a distinct flavor, the overall experience is marred by a lack of variety and repetitive elements, making it less appealing compared to higher-budget party games. Despite its engaging premise and aesthetic, the game may struggle to maintain interest over time, especially without a group of friends to play with.

    • “The premise feels as old-fashioned as its aesthetic, yet the gameplay transforms this simplicity into something instantly engaging, fast-paced, and laugh-out-loud unpredictable.”
    • “The combination of its distinct Victorian aesthetic, intuitive mechanics, and unpredictable duels gives it a character unlike anything else in its genre.”
    • “The mechanics are fun and the gameplay is frantic.”
    • “The game itself looks like a Unity engine mess with cheap sprites moving way too fast and a gimmicky walk-on-ceiling mechanic.”
    • “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!”
    • “But there are multiple problems plaguing gentlemen's gameplay.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a distinct Victorian aesthetic that is both elegant and simple, running impressively at native 2160x1440 resolution with smooth performance. While the visuals are clean and engaging, some users find them repetitive and lacking in variety, which diminishes the overall value of the game. Despite its charming style, the graphics may not justify the price for all players, especially given the limited content.

    • “The combination of its distinct Victorian aesthetic, intuitive mechanics, and unpredictable duels gives it a character unlike anything else in its genre.”
    • “I am writing this review based on past experience with the game, and it does run at native 2160x1440 resolution at max graphics at 48-60fps on an i3-4010y, which is very impressive optimization.”
    • “Of course, the graphics are simple but clean.”
    • “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!”

Overall, the comedic elements enhance the experience, making it a fun and engaging title.

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music features lively piano melodies and orchestral elements that effectively capture the nostalgic atmosphere of classic parlor games and refined duels, enhancing the overall tone of the game.

  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
