Fist Puncher

I had this on steam, and the way it worked was character levels were tied to controller slots. This is a bad system I have never seen in another game. It creates logistical and balance issues, and destroyed the long term prospect of the game for us. Balance wise, the game does not vibe well with single player either, so forget just playing one controller and grinding. I suggested several options to address this, including simply letting you assign the controller to a specific slot, so different players could work on grinding up all four profiles in different ways. The developers listened and responded politely, but years later the game was still the same. The rest of the game is fine. Not spectacular, but fine. It's sad they went that route. It seems like they poorly thought this out. Probably handled it in a rush, and realized they can't or don't want to address it.

This game seems to have some meh reviews and I am not sure why. I got it on sale and it was cheap so perhaps that has helped my enjoyment of the game. It is a simple beat em up with a lite rpg mix to it. I found the characters and their unique talents to be fun. I like the murdering clown the best. His dark humor talent matches my own character trait and I thought it was quite funny that I picked a character with 'dark humor'. All this really does is allow him to heal for more hp each tick but still it got a laugh from me. I played this with my wife as a coop game and found it to be a fun way to kill a half hour or so before moving on to something else. At the time of writing this we have nearly beaten the game and I see no major issues with it. I will say I do have to always turn on full screen when I start the game up and I find that to be annoying. I wish it would stay turned on but it does not for whatever reason. You can replay levels grind XP and raise talents to match your play style. If your a fan of river city ransom this may be a game for you. As long as you don't expect too much from it I believe you will find it enjoyable !

This game plays like a nice mix of double Dragon meets mid-2000 flash games it is rather simplistic and repetitive but has a large cast of characters and makes for some fun local co-op experiences not worth it at the recommended price but have seen it on sale for two dollars which is more than worthy of this well-made if a little repetitive game

The game pushes you to use a controller, ("Get real, use a controller") but at least on my system wouldn't detect my logitech F310. The keyboard scheme isn't documented anywhere and is a pretty awful layout, and seems to have issues even then. The keypress remapping screen, which googling claims exists and of which there are even pictures of online, doesn't seem to exist in this version of the game. There might be a cool game here, but I wasn't able to access it. User input is a very basic hurdle to fall at, and this is a level of fail I've not encountered before, which motivated this review to warn others.

Just great
