Chenso Club

Is has the worst combination of focus on aerial fights, death pits and lots of limiting traps; and imprecise, slow and floaty movement and combat completely contrary to what you would expect from a game with that elements. Didn't even finish the first run because it wasn't fun at all. I recommend you try Metal Unit instead.

Damn, I wish I could enjoy this game. A mix of very well composed music, characters inspired by The Powerpuff Girls (according to the Bleeding Cool article I read), well-animated attacks that feel right out of Smash, expressive enemies that feel right out of MapleStory, and blood trails from Super Meat Boy. Unfortunately the gameplay itself doesn't hook you into playing more. There is no major variation in your playstyle throughout the game. Don't get me wrong, it makes for great demo but lacks the oomf that keeps one wanting to build and upgrade your character. Which brings to mention - upgrades aren't explained well enough. You pay for upgrades with your blood but you can also kill enough enemies in a minigame and get upgrades for free? Getting attacked is no issue if it's just NPCs attacking you. In the lower difficulties, getting injured once or twice by NPCs isn't a big deal, but getting killed by the boss sends you back to the beginning of the stage (no checkpoints to speak of). It seems to try and speak to a new generation, but the new generation is going "hang on, grandpa, I'm playing Fortnite, ♥♥♥♥ off with that weird wannabe Duck Souls ♥♥♥♥." Even though the dev team shuttered a few years back, I'm optimistic they're able to take the lessons they learned into this game and improve the combat experience in future works.

I didn't enjoy this game much, even if it's got a lot going for itself, starting from the playable cast: each heroine is very distinct both in design and in gameplay. My personal favourites are Alice, with her speed and ability to use a grappling hook to easily reach any flying enemy, and Molly, with her water cannon that allows her to shoot distant enemies and fly upwards, and the animation for pumping new water into the tank is so cute. The idea that good scores bring followers on social networks, with milestones giving tokens to spend for permanent upgrades, is silly but works, and is further used with the bonus stage where players have to let a photographer take good shots of them while fending off rabid fanboys. It's pretty nice to look at, especially the sprite art, while the style of the backgrounds is a bit all over the place. Many enemies have a cutesy look, only to become crazed and ugly. Very good, upbeat music. Unfortunately the controls feel janky and floaty. The game asks many times to contend with flying enemies, even fight them over chasms or traps, when it's really not equipped for that; several moves can be chained but it's stiff to execute and oftentimes the windows for canceling an action for another are small or non-existent, often ending up bumping against enemies only because of an attack animation. Being randomly generated, the stages are very hit and miss and can easily exacerbate those issues. Sometimes enemies that should be destroyed by getting at the borders of the screen, chill there instead, now hard to reach. Once I accepted from a seer to have the following screens harder in exchange for a bonus... except it was the second-to-last screen of that stage, so she gave me the bonus on the following screen! The story starts silly only to get absurdly overdramatic; it's centered on Blue, the first selectable character, but when using another character the apparently omniscient villain knows about her demons, only to not bring that up anymore. It's a tonal whiplash that is more irritating than surprising. To put it short, [b]Chenso Club[/b] has potential but the core gameplay would need a lot of refinement. Others may find it still fun enough, especially if played in two.

Decent enough game with an amazing art-style and fun music that is unfortunately accompanied by controls too clunky for the type of combat experience it wants you to have, It feels like a game I would have definitely enjoyed as a kid but it's not something I can honestly recommend.

This cute game is, despite how it looks, a homage to the Super Smash Bros single player experience, specifically the Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros Brawl. This game is essentially a beat 'em up with boundaries. So there are segments where if you fall off a cliff or go too far left or right, you get a penalty, just like in Smash. There are segments where you are stuck in place, and in order to proceed, you have to clear out all enemies currently on your screen. I do like the boundaries because most enemies almost play by the same rules. So if a flying enemy flies off screen on their own, they essentially self TKO. This also means that most enemies have to be on screen in order to be your enemy, so you do not have to worry about getting attacked from offscreen enemies (for the most part). There are even a couple of levels where you have to traverse up or to the right with the game taking control of the camera, so if you are not fast enough, you will get offscreened. Like in Smash, you can also choose an assortment of different fighters, though the roster here is a lot smaller than the modern Smash games of today. The main difference, aside from the aesthetics, is that Chenso Club has roguelike elements to its levels and powerups. This is also in addition to the main hub where you can give coins to certain followers in order to confer certain, unique permanent benefits to your selected player character. I especially like the keyboard and mouse control scheme. Most roguelikes and beat 'em up seem to believe that the mouse does not exist; not only does the game default to using the left and right click of the mouse, you can also assign the side mouse buttons. It means the action set pieces easier for the constant keyboard and mouse enjoyers. Overall, I can recommend this game if you like Super Smash Bros as a singleplayer experience.

6.5/10 + Works on windows 7 + combat + tons of upgrades + art style + music + 10$ price tag - could do with a little less gore, kinda over the top - how about you remove the flying enemy's that ♥♥♥♥ on you??? - alt tab out well playing with xbox controller and now i cant use my xbox controller until i reset game. - turned the game back on and lost all my stuff........ i can still start from the area i was on but i dont have any of my buffs i purchased on the run.... i had sooo much ♥♥♥♥..... - in game shop can sell the same items 2 or 3 times and you can only have 1 of said item

Средненькая игра, в целом не плохо.

设定很讨喜的一款肉鸽，但操作手感实在太一言难尽了:(
