SkyScrappers

With an intriguing core concept and solid presentation, SkyScrappers isn't an especially bad game – just a ludicrously overpriced one. If, by chance, you can afford to snag a copy, then you're in for a fun little tussle – just don't expect it to be one that'll keep on giving.

Fun and original concept combining platforming and versus-style arcade fighting.
Enjoyable multiplayer experience, especially local co-op with friends.
Decent presentation with a cartoon art style that looks good, including 4K support.

Extremely simplistic combat with only two main action buttons and lacking depth or variety.
Poor and unintuitive control scheme with no option to rebind keys, making gameplay frustrating.
Gameplay can become repetitive and boring quickly, with limited characters and stages.

The gameplay is simple and enjoyable for casual play, featuring basic combat with limited depth due to only two active buttons, alongside some platforming mechanics. While not offering extensive hours of engagement, it provides fun for short sessions with friends.
- “Mechanics are great so far though!”
- “Overall, don't get it expecting tonnes of hours of gameplay, but it's still a fun and simple game to play a few rounds of whenever your friends come over!”
- “The combat mechanics really don't have enough depth to them mainly because you only have 2 buttons that do something.”
- “Unfortunately, it boils down to gameplay.”
- “There are also a few mechanics with the platforming element of the game.”

The game's storylines for the four characters are generally considered unengaging, with limited character development or compelling interactions. While fighting games are not typically praised for their stories, this title is seen as missing an opportunity to enhance player investment.
- “I played through the storylines of the 4 characters and for the most part the game doesn't do a good job making the characters interesting or making you care about their interactions before combat.”
- “I know fighting games aren't really played for their storyline, but I just felt this game could have done a bit better on this.”

The music is described as simplistic and typical of 90's fighting games, ultimately feeling forgettable and uninspired.
- “It's just a standard sounding 90's fighting game type music.”
- “Overly simplistic, mostly arbitrary wins, bad writing and forgettable music and art.”
