Slap City

I can't recommend this game. The single player isn't what I was hoping it was going to be. I remember it not having so many annoying platforming sections, but that is most of what it is. The final "boss" isn't even a smash bros style fight. It's just a completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ platforming section where you try to hit a random item on the screen, while an insane amount of various enemies, hazards, and platforms come up out of nowhere. None of this was fun. There are some collectables to find, and SOME of them will show up as a shadow before picking a level. As far as I can tell, there is no way in game to know what hidden collectables you're missing, or in which level you're supposed to be looking for them in. There is a cool tetherball kinds game mode that is as far as I can tell only in this game, but it doesn't make up for the incredibly lackluster single player mode. The local battles are alright, but have been done better in other smash clones. This is a bummer for me, as I recall this game being pretty fun earlier on. *** Although it doesn't say it on the store page, this game does work perfectly on the steam deck***

I don't know how to go about this but, no I don't recommend this. You can just buy Rivals of Aether 1 which has a massive library of workshop characters, a great cast of base characters, and a Discord server that is at least somewhat active, though I don't know how active SlapCity's Discord is. The story mode is "neat" but even though the story has slight changes per character the main gameplay and levels are all the same. That's not to say there's nothing good about this game, as this game is kinda weird and crazy in a good way, but that just doesn't stand up to what Rivals of Aether is. There's fun to be had here and if you know a local smashy bros guy this could be a fun one time thing for a day. Get it on sale if you purchase,

An actually good smash title and it was made as a joke.

BEST GAME EVER

cruiser's delay kick, asha's heavy up and heavy air, business casual man's ledge grab and crouch walk, and Ruby's duck all made me smile and laugh. what a special smash-like <3

super fun needs more love and players

Firstly, I wanna plug the official Discord. It's still active, and matches are really easy to find! It's even got an active tournament scene!! Check it out here: https://discord.gg/JXHwHsHa Now for the review proper -w- This is the best platform fighter of all time. It's got the schmovement and it's got the whimsy, and every character is shockingly well-balanced. I cannot emphasize enough how good this game feels to control. I have no idea what they did, but it just feels *good*. The clutch button is a stroke of inspiration. This is the only game with Clutch Technology, and it shows. Instantly reverse the momentum of certain moves?? Tech with a dedicated button?? Put up a shield that bounces you backwards?? Every aspect of this game is just sheer delight to control. It doesn't take itself seriously, and in that it's able to experiment and play. That sheer love radiates from every pixel, and it somehow makes a game that's fun and silly *and* competitively balanced. You can play as Goddess of Explosions!! Ultra Fishbunjin 3000!! Princess Remedy!!! The game of the year, every year. If you love plat fighters, this is a must-have. Give it a try!! I guarantee you'll have a blast
