Champions Decathlon successfully captures the nostalgic feel of classic 80s arcade sports games, providing simple yet engaging gameplay that encourages competition and personal improvement.
The game features a variety of events that can be played individually or as part of a full decathlon, along with online leaderboards that motivate players to beat their own and others' high scores.
The retro pixel art graphics and casual gameplay make it a fun experience for both solo players and local multiplayer sessions, appealing to a wide audience.

The online multiplayer experience is lacking, with difficulties in finding matches and a confusing setup process for local tournaments, which detracts from the competitive aspect of the game.
Some achievements are seen as tedious and poorly designed, requiring excessive grinding that does not enhance the overall gaming experience.
The user interface and leaderboards could use significant improvement, as they appear cluttered and unappealing, making it harder for players to track their progress and achievements.

The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that primarily involve left, right, and shoot inputs, reminiscent of classic joystick games, yet it incorporates clever underlying systems that prioritize smoothness alongside speed. Players appreciate the cute graphics and find the gameplay to be satisfying and competitive, making it accessible and enjoyable for casual gamers.
- “The mechanics feel the same as those original joystick-breaking wagglers too; you only need left, right, and shoot inputs. Although reading what the dev has to say, it's actually a little cleverer than that under the bonnet, with smoothness being as important as speed.”
