Just played started this up for the first time a couple hours ago on break. It's pretty dop so far, but I only played for like 15 minutes. I do hope it gets more characters down the line and also ups the co-op from 2 players to 4.

FF7 Rebirth, Ratchet and Clank, Astrobot, Zau, Pre-Shinobi, Shinobi, Ghost of Yotei, Spider-Man 2, Prince of Persia.

I feel as though this generation has clocked the essence of gaming. You can have titles that push the limits of technology, but there is nothing wrong with perfecting the things we enjoyed in the 90s.
What is Pre-Shinobi?

I'm on the 5 and the Solo is Great.
First few runs had me heating up, but once you get your groove going and know how to parry and dodge the different enemies, it gets way better.
The game opens up more, but you'll see if you decide to cop it.

I've also tried online co-op for the heck of it and that was dope too, a little chaotic at times but was fun

Added bonus you have the ability to revive your teammate if they KO and can send out little emotes like a "thumbs up" or "stop"

Game is decent so far solo. But I don’t like how anemic your base moveset is at the beginning of each run.

I know that’s the “point” if these rogue lite games. But instead of taking away moves from your kit that hurt the beatemup experience, they should’ve just added more buff-type upgrades instead.

Low-key the larry and dodge mechanics remind me a little of old school fighters and how you got to masger that to win

Absolum seemed lacking… I had more fun fighting all the other bosses more than absolum. One of my only negative critiques about the game… I was mad disappointed when I realized I would be fighting a “ball”.
