Vagabones Demo

For just the demo and the decently quick first level you can play, I'm already super hyped for it. The style of the game and the gameplay itself seem incredibly fun as is, and again it's just the demo right now. I've been letting everyone I know to try the demo because the style and multiplayer are just so unique compared to other games I've played of similar genres, and I'm just so happy that I got to try the demo! I don't normally leave reviews too often because I'm bad at saying all the pros/cons, but I see no cons so far and I'm just already so ready for the full release of the game!

This game is definitely worth your time checking out with some friends. I played this with two other friends, and we had a pretty good time. It's easy to pick up and play, and strikes a great balance between party game and serious co-op. The Super Mario 3D World, Zelda: Four Swords, and roguelike/lite influences are strong, yet it's a gameplay style that works out surprisingly well. It's a co-op game that has a lot interactivity between players that leads to memorable and funny moments. I think my favorite experience in this demo was picking up another player by throwing a boomerang at them. I should mention that there's a lot of story and dialogue. That's not necessarily a problem, as you can thankfully skip it all if you want to get to the action. The story is fun though; there's a giant mountain of a queen dog, that I'm still unsure if she is a dog or a sentient cake. (Also, everyone seems to berate the ice cream [strike]dog[/strike] tanuki for... some reason. I thought they were his friends.) If there is one thing that i would like to see changed before release it would be to the dashing mechanic. You have to be continuously moving for a second or two before reaching top speed. It's the same mechanic that was in Super Mario 3D World, but I feel it makes less sense for it to be here since this isn't a platformer and there's also have a special move that requires you to be in your running state and press two buttons to trigger it. I personally would want to see characters instantly start dashing, get rid of the build up time. But I'd be fine with different changes. Anyways, I will be waiting for this one to release. Looks pretty neat!
