    • “If you like classic old school beat 'em ups like Golden Axe, beautiful pixel graphics blended with HD backgrounds similar to Octopath Traveler or Star Ocean Second Story R, rogue-lite games like Binding of Isaac or TMNT: Splintered Fate, and funny humor that won't take itself too seriously, then this is a game worth buying.”
    • “They'll hold block and become immune to damage, and when you attempt to punish, they attack you in a single frame, which makes a pretty funny scenario where you're essentially doomed to receive damage.”
