Simple and neat little game with an artstyle and presentation that draws from 2008 Newgrounds, which makes sense as the dude that made the site was one of the leads and the music was made by a few people who were pretty popular on Newgrounds back in the day. Like Waterflame.
Gameplay is simplistic, being a two button beat em up with a magic system that is also simple. (All characters get access to a splash that deals knockback, further investment gives you things like a highly damaging "projectile" a "magic-jump" that knocks enemies in the air and lets you jump high, so on and so forth. Also all done with two buttons) but it can become a slog if you are playing solo. I also would not recommend trying to get every character all at once, as characters can (outside of dlc, Hatty, arena unlocks, and insane mode unlocks) only be unlocked through beating the game, fully. So you can't cheese it in multiplayer by having someone who has beaten the game host and just killing the wizard a bunch of times. And there are a lot of characters that are unlocked this way, with whole character unlock diagrams and it's just... don't! Don't do that! Unlock them as you go, for me I tend to unlock a new character whenever I remember this game exists on whatever platform I am currently using and beat the game once again.
The game does supper from the issue of: How do you detect depth in a game drawn using 2d assets that is made 3d? So there are times attacks will miss because a character was JUST in front of it or behind it, and it is jank but it's a sorta jank that comes with the artstyle and engine used.
