very good game i like a lot the different mecanic of every character but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the zetteburn the orcan arcade hard difficulty is more diffult than the boss
Para quienes busquen una experiencia parecida a super smash bros, si, lo es, pero aquí es más complejo, hay más botones de acción, por ejemplo, no atacas con dos botones si no con tres, sin embargo la experiencia no solo la replica, la adapta a su manera, haciendo que los personajes un poco más difíciles de usar que en smash, pero que también tengan mecánicas distinguibles; no es una imitación de smash. y bueno, cosas que podrían sumar es que en modo local, cuando pones a un bot a pelear elige a un personaje en específico en ves de elegir personaje aleatorio, y cosillas detallitos así, pero por mucho no tengo quejas, solo me toca ahora acostumbrarme a los nuevos controles... y por favor, hagan colaboración con hollow knight y se agradece el doblaje al español de los textos

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 17 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,502 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Gouie has killed this game for me. Yet another obnoxious, dishonest, lazy character for campy and defensive shield grab spamming playstyles to thrive in. Fleet was bad enough, but here we are.
Buen juego, de los mejores del genero
slade is really related to shovel knight in the first game but i like playing them so
Muy divertido y Competitivo
I ended up refunding it because after a while I didn't really find this game to be fun but it really just isn't that bad and especially not for $15 and not overbearing microtransactions (that meaning you get every character to release for free over them charging you for them like SSBU/SSB4 would do and other games like Brawlhalla do), this game is actually pretty good. It definitely feels like a Smash Bros. clone, but not in the way where it's just exactly that and it tries exclusively to be Smash Bros and nothing else. The characters all have their own unique identities and kits that all respectively feel fairly balanced and easy to counter regardless of who you choose to play, the combat itself actually feels very fluid and nice whenever you pull off a good combo, the graphics don't look bad at all in any way shape or form and the game is just overall a good buy in 2026, especially with its active support, the fairly active online scene and microtransactions that are, yet again, purely optional but not just zero effort recolors. However, holy ♥♥♥♥, this game's online/comp scene is just so unbearable in my opinion. I was going into the online (unranked) assuming that would be as fun as playing with friends locally would be and to my very minimal surprise, it flat-out wasn't since the skill curve felt ridiculous, the techs were just all over the place and it felt like I could do barely anything against anybody online since, like NRS fighting games, the game was out so long to the point where everyone knew what the hell they were doing and it's almost completely impossible for me to find any enjoyment out of online multiplayer in this game so that was really disappointing. I think if they added maybe "beginner" pools for people who are new to the online scene for Unranked/Casual, that'd be great since I don't even think the tutorials, granted I haven't touched those and probably won't since my care for this game is kinda nixed already, wouldn't be of much help, so maybe specific beginner pools would be of a LOT of help but now that this game's been out for nearly two years, my confidence in them doing that is like a good 45%. I do think that if you just don't care about online multiplayer in games like this, I think you'll get a lot of enjoyment and fun out of this game, but if you aren't extremely versed in platform fighters and try to go in for the online mode since after you play all of the offline modes, that's really all that'll be there to offer, you're just not going to like this game like I did since for me, it was just an infinitely boring furry Smash Bros that really had no unique form factor besides its roster and that was literally it.
Muy buen juego me entretiene bastante como para ser una copia del smash bros
ist gut
