Charlie Murder.....what can I say about this game?....well it's one of my favorite 2D beat em up with fun rpg gameplay its really dang fun after the Xbox 360 store died I thought I miss out this game forever but soon realized its on steam and works like a champ well without the crashes but its simple as change some things in the folder or make sure you have some audio device connected its weird but it helps the game is old but man does the drawn style and music makes it age like fine wine so give this game a try maybe get some online friends to play this game it deserves all the love that it needs.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is an essential part of the game’s identity, composed of aggressive, thrashing tracks that fit the world perfectly.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If you're someone who believes game NEED good graphics to contribute to how good a game is then leave and don't play this game and go spend $70 on some other game as opposed to buying a $10 game.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The input support it provides is full controller support, keyboard and mouse support which isn't necessarily recommended because like Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater it was released originally on a console that revolved around controller.
