The Real Review

Opinions are split on this retro 2D brawler, with most landing in the middle. The pixel art is praised for its detailed, nostalgic look, but the core gameplay just doesn't seem to click for many, feeling repetitive or shallow. There's a major technical problem, though: performance issues, especially on the Switch version, are a near-universal complaint. The value for money is actually seen as decent, but that's often a "if you can get it running" kind of note.
