First off, make sure to get this game installed, logged in, account made, and logged in fully with that account, within the next few weeks before the game gets pulled from Steam, if you want to be sure of being able to keep it after that point.


That said, this game's an absolute trainwreck and I'm legit not sure how it wasn't pulled sooner. Character appeal alone?

The account creation system (external, browser) is super glitched, and it took me several days of trying to make an account before it didn't prematurely time out during the process. The game then loads a "do you want to edit settings before continuing", which is great, because the game's been blaring loud, poor quality music at me. But then the load-up cutscenes ignore my volume settings. Great.. then the tutorial keeps janking, where it wants me to go to the next part of the tutorial before continuing with anything else, but it does so by loading through the main menu first, before the next tutorial step, and it keeps hanging up in the menu. Also great.

The insane amount of technical issues aside, the game's main problem is just that it's.. absolutely terrible to play. Worst smash clone I've ever seen by far. The gameplay's clunky to an absolutely insane level, the hitboxes erratic to work around, the control scheme seems to have been made by someone unfamiliar with games altogether, nevermind arena brawlers, and the whole thing's just.. awful. Just thoroughly, abysmally awful.

Like, gods, the roster is amazing, but is that where 100% of the development effort went to? Well, other than what went into live-service gimmicks, which do seem quite extensively developed? (Because of course they are..) Because everything else is absurdly trashy. This is less game with live service gimmicks, and more live service with fanservice with some shallow mimicry of gameplay tossed in to tie it together.

Again, not sure how it lasted as long as it did, considering. Yech.
