good

Its a really fun game :D

Fixed

its not overwatch lol

Simple MMO fun :D

This game is very good when it comes to style and art design. From the element inspired characters, to the lighting fast game play. Players can find themselves doing amazing combos to secure a KO or engaging in a intense neutral game with these fun and often exciting characters, fitting to most fighting styles. The balancing is very nice between characters so anyone you pick wont be hammered down by their level viability. Top this with a community workshop and you got a great game!

But this review is a No and here is why

I said in the good side of the review this game has lighting fast game play. That can be part of the problem for some players. the speed in which characters move can be a bit daunting for players new to this game. That in itself is not a bad thing but I will like for you to keep this in mind when you keep reading.

another issue i have is the controls. in my opinion, they handle weird... For instance special moves. in order to do a special move (lets say we want to do a up special move) you must push in one direction and while holding that direction press the special button. what makes it weird is that you cannot press these at the same time. it has to be move then special. This results in a lot of players moving a bit before the do the input they meant to do.for new players it makes their movement quite clunky which is not bad....on the ground. when you get to the situations where you are in the air. it is a whole different story. that weird but normal input. becomes paramount to you getting back on a stage. and in a game where it is fast. one wrong input can spell death in a lot of cases.

another point of for annoyance me and this game is the defensive options. You can see that the developers want players to engage with other players on the map but for me it really makes the game oppressive on players who want to play defense. I also said in the good side of review that characters are fitting to most fighting styles. But I feel like one of the styles that are kinda weak here are defensive ones. From the lack of shields to not being able to hold ledge even the size of the map and how small they are on average makes a defensive player really uncomfortable. I can imagine this being polarizing since no one wants to get "zoned" out on a big map. That also is not fun. I think this hurts the experience because there is not a lot of down time. to compare smash brothers and fighting games in general have blocking. this allows the player to relive some pressure when in a undesirable situation for a small moment the player has a time to breathe and get out of getting hit over and over. ledge grabbing the same thing. giving the player a second to get themselves together if only just a small bit. instead when you are on the defense you are left to DI. a tech that relies on you moving your character in a direction to escape the combo or avoid the blast box.

now do not get me wrong, there is defensive tools. but the problem is these you need to time it in order to work. and to replace ledge grabbing characters get a wall jump. this may seem cooler but now it makes recovering harder. and for the one who is defending you from grabbing the ledge it makes their job somewhat easy. this makes a very offensive environment.

From the small stage, the odd input combination, fast game play and the lack of defensive option to relieve pressure. inexperience players will not feel as if this is game where they have a fighting chance. To put it simply- the skill floor is high and player will easily find themselves demoralized.

when i played online ranked for the 1st time. i was a bit confused when I saw a sort of striking system. but after a few seconds. I knew what kind of game this audience was catering to. This game feels like a more inherently competitive like say street fighter. but it has the mechanics of a platform fighter like smash brothers.

Now even though I do not recommend this game. I wont refund it. I am quite used to this competitiveness in games. But I do not write this as if I am experiencing this i write it from someone who is new to this type of game. to put it simply the appeal will draw players in but the difficulty, weird input and speed of the game will draw some of the same players out.

For those reasons I will not recommend this to most people. I just do not think it will up a lot of people's alley.

though i will say the workshop has been amusing to look at. Thanks for reading :)

the further you progress in this game. the more problems arises.

the fighting in this system is fun they have a simple layer for people who just picked up the game. but a more complex system for those who wish to go deeper into combos and what not.

This game goes by a 3 button system (excluding Exs,)

Really this game is what you make it. Your kinda in charge of making this game fun. Another thing about this game is you cant play it for a long time (2+hours) or you will lose intrest. You can even have in running while you do other things. It kinda plays itself. XD

Good game for its time. Its fun to play with others. It can be kinda crappy sometimes with the whole jedi system but its still fun nonetheless.
