It's an alright game. I had fun playing through it, but man... It's janky. It's still 100% playable, but things are screwy everywhere. Plenty of weird foregroud elements popping in and out, certain secret walls don't break but they do??? It's weird. There are certain parkour challenges near the end that don't seem to take keyboard controls into account, because you need to aim somewhere between the 8 directions that you can aim on keyboard. With all that QA they must have only used controller, which is fair, but still a bit infuriating.
I do commend the game for making the parry mechanic actually powerful, but it doesn't feel like you really need it until you're dealing with enemies that have way too much health. And some enemies have weird hitbox jank, so the parry flash and the timing to actually parry can vary. The game did an amazing job with combat, and every enemy has a unique brutalize animation.
Overall, it's a good game and I recommend it, but I hope that a few patches or something come out first.

This has got to be the worst platform fighter games I have ever played. Brawlhalla is 200% better than this game when it comes to how it plays. I played this game in the beta, and it was okay. Coming to it now, after it's finally "released" and it's so much worse than anything ever. The netcode is a disaster. The game can and will easily get desynced and just kick everyone from the match. The game will decide to only kick one person from a 2v2 match (and thus make a free win for a team). The game will crash because of inexplicable reasons. The game is slow and floaty, the blasts zones are too close (And non-dynamic, unlike smash where if you have control of your character the blast zones are further away. Or in Rivals where you can't die in the top blast zone without being knocked in there). Matchmaking will sometimes just put you in with bots, especially if it's after you booted up the game (say, after it crashed). You had years in beta to fix these issues and you decided not to. In fact, you made things worse. Good job, Player First Games. It really does seem like this was your first ever game.

I have put in 54 hours into this game. I have 100%ed the game. I can say with absolute certainty that this game is... pretty okay. But not good. Let's see here...
Contact damage? Yep.
Clashing artstyles everywhere? Yep.
Boring Bossfights? Yep.
Bad progression? Yep.
Pointless talent system? Yep.
Pointless weapon system? Yep.
Pointless equipment system? Yep.
Pointless enemy drop system? Yep.
Honestly, I really don't know
why
I wasted so many hours doing this
but you know
it sure was
an experience.
I truly did have an AFTERIMAGE.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Don't buy this.

Absolutely amazing game. Definitely had a lot to live up to for the previous game but it delivered! I 100%ed it in around 6 hours, and that includes a bit of AFK time. So it's a short game but definitely worth the money

It's pretty great, this elephant has been through a lot. It's sad that there isn't much in the ways of new content, but that's fair. The games have a tendency to be super laggy, especially achievement unlocked 3. Now if only we got a collection of all the other jmtb02 games...

The puzzles are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard...

♥♥♥♥ joke

Really good for such an obscure game. Played it back when it came out, just replayed it recently now that it has achievements and the game went from a pretty good one to a very good one. Nice story, nice gameplay, nice speed game, and a nice 5 hours spent to 100% it.

I understand this is extremely close to how hacking works in real life, and I appreciate that. However, it is TOO close to real hacking. It's a lot of trying to find what to do, which is close to real hacking. Getting specific answers for these certain things works, but it's really just thrown all at you. Doing one task at a time is easy, doing a few is fine, but doing upwards of 12 tasks at a time is not. The game needs to step down a bit in what it wants from the player, or explain things a lot better in the beginning.
Also for the first tutorial part you have to submit ~ instead of cd ~, which is in the community hub but really? You couldn't have made cd ~ work? it makes a hell of a lot more sense than just ~.
All in all, good idea bad execution, but it definitely can be improved. Yes, I've refunded this, but I do have hope that this game will maybe be made a lot better in the future.

I want my money back
