Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise42% are divided8% are complaints
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
48 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
While, unfortunately, the servers aren't exactly bustling, the local co-op (or private matches with Steam friends!) is more than enough to have plenty of fun with the game!
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
42 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
It's probably one of the most fun party games out there, combining retro, modern, competitive multiplayer, arcade, platformer and a fun little story in singleplayer.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The single-player campaign does a great job introducing the 18 varied levels, mechanics, unlockables, and alternate modes.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a campaign-style level progression for single-player, and it explains each modifier you can have in a room quite comprehensively throughout said campaign, so even if you just take it on a run for a few hours, it's still worth the price.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The retro 2D pixel graphics and arcade music had that same vibe as those classic couch co-op games from the past.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
Visually and musically, the game commits hard to an SNES-inspired style, which works wonderfully for sprites and sound effects.
