113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I started playing this game around when it first came out on switch, and even though I stopped for a while after moving to PC, it's some of the most fun I've had with friends in a co-op game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a somewhat steep learning curve, although the game does a good job of easing you into different mechanics
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty remains meaningful even with multiple players involved, creating moments where teamwork becomes just as valuable as individual skill.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However the campaign and multiplayer modes are well designed to the point that I can get by that.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Flat Heroes has a minimalistic yet charming art style, similar to Thomas was Alone.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is also game pad compatible, but I do not have a game pad so I cannot comment on that part, but partial controller compatibility is always a plus.
