There must be a misunderstanding about this game. It seems universally revered, loved and considered as a literal gem over the internet while in truth it is a pretty basic brawler, below average in my opinion.

It only has a very limited number of combos, has a very linear progression/storyline... that you have to play once with each character to complete the game.

The jumping/dodging/parrying mechanics and timing feel floaty and imprecise. Some enemies have horrendous hitboxes, special mention to the boss Gideon which is all over the place, I mean I've never seen anything even only remotly as bad in 1200+ hours of Dark Souls 1.

The good : the art and animations, while overly pixelated, are lovable, and a good representation of the comic's characters.

TLDR : Not recommended as a video game, this is only for hardcore Scott Pilgrim's fans.
