Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game

What are ya gonna do, knock my block off?

Terrible Edit: Okay I was fairly drunk when I wrote the original review. But I want this game to succeed. I had a lot of fun playing it with my friends after it first went live but eventually the myriad of bugs, lack of features, and slow progress in changing anything have made me entirely uninterested in playing it. Features - The company released a roadmap a few months back and they promised a "exciting new gameplay feature" to come in September. This ended up just being controls remapping. There are dozens of cut features from the original anouncements and it feels disingenuous to call out control remapping as an exciting new feature when its something that should be standard. Bugs/balancing - Hitboxes on various models are borked, balancing has been incredibly inconsistent, and attempts at fixing bugs often introduce new bugs or don't solve the actual issue. For example, players would quit out right before dying for the first few months of the game. This robs the Klown of a kill credit, allows the same person to rejoin, and for humans to cheese their way to a victory. No humans escaped but 4 of them quit by the time the game ends? Human victory! This was eventually fixed (5 months after release) and the new version has allowed double the amount of people in matches. Balancing gets one change, that later gets reverted back. Or my favorite recent example - hit boxes have been incredibly buggy since the launch. So they shortened the reach on some items... instead of fixing the hitbox. What? All in all, what I have seen them do in the 4-5 months this game has been around - add a micro transaction shop with a premium currency - eventually patch out the people quitting issue - add 1 map that I never got to play because it just never showed up in rotation for reason?? I played 30 games that first weekend it launched and never saw it. Overall, I know this is a small studio, but it feels like the focus isn't in the right areas and the meaningful change necessary to improve it is going to take too long that I've given up. Maybe in a years time, who knows.
