i mean it was fun.

Great party game!

Listen, this game is jank. There's no denying that. Not every game is meant to be a perfect game with fantastic mechanics. Some games exist simply because somebody wanted it to exist, and let me tell you, i'm glad this game exists! Each character has their own little charm, with a fun little style that is reminiscent of Tim Burton mish-mashed with Psychonauts. The overall gameplay ideas are easy enough to work with, and the item system allows for players to build around their own styles! It's jank, but it's got spunk!

This game is anime as fuck, 10/10. It's really hard to fuzzy guard Xonolox though, his mixups are unreal. I recommend Faceless if you want to seriously learn the intricacies of this game.

Worth buying if only to see a robot ironically doing "the robot" when he wins. plus its rad, and on sale

Takes a minute to get used to the controls, but they're solid. Not a whole lot of mechanics, but each character is unique. Left Bumber (LB) is that mysterious block/power button on a 360 controller.

The art work is amazing. It's cute, it's scary, it's fun.

TL;DR Devs dont know how to make a fighting game. this game is very poor. I was ready to give this game a fair chance, but just seconds into playing it is very clear that this game is a godawful mess. The art and idea seems charming, but the devs seem to know nothing about what makes a fighting game. Not to say that there isnt a way to flip the script on a fighter and make it work, but this is not one of those instances. Examples being, air control. You can change movement in air. Hit boxes are a bonkers mess. With character models so small and condensed, things turn into quite the mashing mess. A BLOCK BUTTON IN A 2D FIGHTER. Honestly, to expect this game to have any sort of fighting game fundamentals is pretty silly so i dont know what i expected. Even from a casual fighting game player prespective this game is poor. The presentation is okay, but man oh man... I cant recommend this game to pretty much anyone.

I love this game reminds me of Tim Burtons stuff I grew up with when I was a kid I Like the monster fighters very weird my favorite is the zombie been always a fan of zombies and anything with many teeth or eyes creepy in a very cute strange way very simple and fun. I was always a fan of Halloween as a holiday and haunting and strange stuff there's also hints of Eldritch weirdness in game I love the soundtrack as well I have it on my mp3.

My wife is a major Tim Burton fan, so I bought this mainly for her benefit--too bad it's awful. This game is good conceptually, but that's it. Even with the recent patch, the actual fighting is arguably the worst I've ever experienced in a fighting game... and I played Fighting Masters. :( The game encourages running into your opponent like an idiot and button mashing, so there is no feeling of accomplishment whatsoever upon victory. This game needs a serious overhaul to be worth even a couple modest dollars.
