  • Fast-paced, chaotic, and addictive multiplayer gameplay with unique body-swapping mechanics that keep matches fresh and fun.
  • Well-optimized performance across various hardware with smooth online and local multiplayer, including cross-platform support.
  • Polished presentation with a charming, comic-like art style, enjoyable story mode, and solid sound effects without microtransactions.
  • Controls have a learning curve and can feel unintuitive, especially with keyboard and mouse compared to a controller.
  • Character models can feel small and camera distance could be improved for better visibility during chaotic matches.
  • The price point is considered high by some reviewers given the indie scope and perceived shallow content depth.

    The gameplay is engaging and fast-paced, featuring unique mechanics like dashing and body swapping that add strategic depth. Its variety of character abilities and weapons keeps matches exciting and enjoyable, making it a great choice for both casual and focused play.

    • “Really enjoyable game with interesting body swap mechanics where each body has its own attacks instead of having items.”
    • “I especially like the dash mechanic when you are a head; it often saved me from falling down.”
    • “The wide variety of mechanics and character abilities really won me over.”
    • “Gameplay is fast, messy, and way more strategic than it looks.”

  • story

    The story mode offers a nostalgic 90s fighter experience with 14 characters and engaging single-player battles, though some levels can be frustratingly difficult. While fun overall, certain design choices like the purpose of green coins and menu navigation could be improved. The mode combines solid gameplay with impactful sound effects, appealing to fans of classic fighters.

    • “It features 14 characters, a single-player story mode, and short matches where you can play alone with bots or with other players locally or online (up to 4 players).”
    • “The story mode is fun but, spoiler, I found level 7 as a 2v1 very difficult as they just kept super attacking after each other.”
    • “Story mode feels like a love letter to 90s fighters, and the sound effects hit hard.”
    • “I also didn't see any purpose for the green coins other than to retry in story.”
    • “The main menu is okay but could present 'story mode' better; also, the 'tell us' button is not selectable on controller, and asking for an email instead of redirecting to the Steam page for reviews doesn't help the game.”
    • “Story mode feels like a love letter to 90s fighters, but lacks depth.”

    • “Beautiful graphics, adequate match search time, no freezes or lags!”
    • “While the graphical style appears to be made for mobile in the trailers, it does not seem that way when actually playing the game; it looks very stylized and exactly where it's supposed to be.”
