Big Crown®: Showdown

Upon launch the game gets stuck trying to connect to the servers, which were shut down.

Seems abandoned, no servers available within matchmaking and no option to play locally anymore.

Unplayable, online servers are gone as others have said; couldn't get local to work either.

"Big Crown: Showdown is a fun game, and fits nicely into the subset of games that can be played from the couch." "As I watched back the footage I’d recorded, I noticed just how much love had been put into creating the environment which we somehow missed a lot of during the action. The game is engaging, competitive and fun with a penchant for laughing out loud when a charged punch sends someone into the drink. It’s competitively priced with other, similar games in the genre and if you’re looking to pick something up to play with the family over the Christmas holidays, Big Crown: Showdown would be a great choice."

Sadly the game doesn't start. It crashes back to desktop after around 300ms in the main menu. Sad.

I was lucky enough to recieve an early access key to Big Crown: Showdown. Not knowing much about this game I loaded it up with a few other streamers and we played it blind on stream for the first time. So all of us were on quite even footing. Let me say, I have not had quite this much fun playing a multiplayer in a long, long time. My face hurt at times from laughing so hard. BCG is a fun little platformer where you run through a variety of maps with 1-3 other players. It's very easy to connect through steam, but it looks like there will be the ability to connect with people not on your firends list as well. There is no single player mode in this game right now. And I'm not sure there will be. Together we four raced through maps, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly (lots of variable rules for each game) and did our best to survive until the end while ensuring that the other three did not. Just a few seconds of the silliness and fun this game can create: https://www.twitch.tv/enigmaticrose4/clip/TangentialHeadstrongCucumberTheRinger This is definitely a game I'll be picking up for my sister this Christmas, as well as reccomending to people. Maybe it's a bit of nostalgia, but it reminds me a lot of the comradery and saltiness found in gaming on consoles with your friends back in the 90s and early 2000s. Yet it's still unlike any other platformer I've played. So go and give this game a look over if playing with friends and having some salt-inducing shenanigans is just your cup of tea.

Crashes on start up. Everything is up-to-date. Checked integrity. Reinstalled it. Big PIcture. No Big Picture. Nothing works. Haven't had a chance to play it. Maybe one day this will get fixed. Luckily I got this in a Fanatical bundle but unluckily my daughter and I can't play it. Don't waste your money.

Me telling you not to buy it because there's no one playing it makes this review a self fulfilling prophecy..

Sadly a dead multiplayer game with no bot. So except if you have friends to play with locally or online, don't buy.
