Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Very fun, though light on content
This game is very fun and easy to play. The moves are performed similar to Smash Bros. (though this is a one v one fighter) where you press a direction and a button and that's it. The roster is a bit small, and they're pulled from various random indie games. This is a good choice if you're in the mood for a fun and easy low budget fighter.

Interesting fighting game
Nice to have these mostly indie game characters featured in their own fighting game. The controls are generally streamlined to make it easier for casual fighting game fans to pull off special moves, but there's still enough nuance and technicality for general fighting game fans to enjoy themselves. A recent update to the game has improved the character art, so the strangely intentional pixelization of the initial version of the game is much sharper. I do wish there was more content to the game, and the appeal of the characters will largely depend on your familiarity with the different game franchises represented in this title. Overall it's a decent fighting game if you know what you are buying into. It didn't resonate much with me, but I'm happy to have it in my collection to play with my kids.

Fun and Accessible!
I pre-ordered this game based solely on some of the characters appearing and I was not disappointed. It's one of the most fun and accessible fighting games I've played in a long while. The character art is great and the animation is smooth. There's a lot of stuff to do here from Arcade to Story to Challenges and lots of new colored outfits and some extra characters to unlock. The story sucks, but I kind of expect that in fighting games. Veteran fighters may find this one too simple and shallow, but I really enjoyed it. I would recommend cranking the difficulty up a notch. I'm not really an ace at fighting games and I still found it a bit too easy.
