Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch

They fixed it! The latest patch has made the game way more fun. No more stun locking and the hit box adjustments have made combat feel much better. It's now the Jay and Silent Bob beat'em up we deserve! There are still some things hope they fix like adding more checkpoints and making cut scenes skippable especially if you're restarting a level. But overall I'd say it's now well worth your time.

Played it day 1 and after the first patch which fixed most of the issues. The game originally felt horrible but now feels alright though even after coming back I dont wish to play it anymore its just not fun. Everything feels like low effort low quality crap from the movement and combat to the music. As a fan of Jay and Silent Bob I am disappointed.

So. I'm a backer. Cheapest tier so that means I bought this game for $15. Aside from development hell I'd say this is worth at MOST $15. The art style is the best thing this game has going for it. Hit boxes are at times very weird. Some enemies can stun lock you to death which doesn't make for a good time. Certain mechanics that we assume exist in beat-em ups are just not there. 0 i-frames. Some enemies just do not get stunned. And for whatever reason if the game enters a "cut scene" moment during a level, if you happen to be holding a direction before or during that scene, once gameplay resumes you have to press the direction again in order to register you were trying to move. There's just a lot of weird developer choices that went into this preventing it from being a decent beat-em up. 6/10. Ok if you're a fan of the Viewaskewiverse but couldn't really recommend past that one and only point.

Original backer here. I played the game about 5 hours on the PS5 until the end boss and just now the first level on Steam Deck. Let me start by saying, all the negative comments are very true and legit. Without repeating them, let me focus on the positiv aspects: - After over 10 years they finished the game! (I totally gave up on ever seeing it.) Mad respect for sticking to it and pulling it through. - It is a pure labour of love, made on very little time and a narrow budget. - Artstyle - Jay & Silent Bob feeling (but what a pitty, there isn't more spoken dialog) And more on the technical side: - 10/10 for the level design. Every level has a quirk, making it special. It never get's repetative or boring. Quality over quantity - no filler. - The difficulty is well balanced. There is a constant learning curve, that forces you to learn at least the most important combos. For the last levels, you need to master them. - Sadly, it doesn't guide the player well through the combos or the differences in Jay and Bobs playstyle. Without reading some online resources, I would still be stuck in the 4th level. - It's also nice, that depending on the enemy, some combos work better or not at all. There is no best combo for everything. However, having a lot of shortcomings and not reaching it's potential a side, it accomplishes the only metric that matters: IT'S FUN! Therefore, with a good portion of goodwill, I recommend the game to Brawler and Jay and Silent Bob fans. PS to the devs: Please create an easy mode, with save points directly before the bosses. Don't adjust any health or other difficulty settings - they are just the right amount of challenging. Just more save points and much more information on how to use combos.

This game needs more time in the oven. It's decent but there are a lot of better games in the genre. With a few more patches this game could receive my recommendation but as it stands there's not much to say about it. Pros 1. The hand drawn graphics are really nice. 2. The music is catchy. 3. The hits feels satisfying with weight to them and the enemies have these goofy looks when they are being punished. 4. The game has some nice dial in combos. 5. Some of the enemies requires you to think. You can't just button mash your way to victory. Cons 1. Severe lack of content. After beating it nothing unlocks. No other game modes. Not even a difficultly setting. You only get an artwork gallery. 2. There is some bug encounters that I have witness where you could get stuck in the game and have to start the level over. 3. Hit detection could use some more work. 4. The block feature was useless and I almost forgot it even exist. 5. No real voice overs and no way to skip the story segments. This review is base off the first patch. Before it, the game was almost unplayable and frustration. You could get stun lock and trap because when the game came out, your character doesn't have any invincible frames on wake up to avoid these frustrating traps. They sped up the game too which is nice. Overall, I do not recommend this game unless you are a true fan of this franchise. It's a 6/10 game at best. Wait for a steep discount or wait until they patch the game futher with more content and fixes.

This game has the quickest time to beating up children and babies of any game I’ve ever played! What else can you ask for

A solid, goofy beat ’em up with a ton of personality. If you’re into Jay and Silent Bob, this game pretty much knows exactly what it’s doing and commits to the bit 100%. The combat is simple but fun, the humor lands more often than not, and it has that old-school arcade vibe that makes it easy to jump in for a few rounds and just smash things. It’s not trying to be super deep or reinvent the genre, and that’s fine. It’s the kind of game where the charm, the jokes, and the co-op chaos carry the whole thing. For fans of the duo or anyone looking for a funny brawler, this one’s a good time.

I backed this game when it was first announced. I waited I think like 6 years for the release. Though it has the classic beat'em up feel I didn't expect it to be so buggy right out the gate. Especially since it took so long to come out. I still don't even have the shirt I paid for lmao! The moves are cool but for a 2026 release feel like it could have been better. Maybe I am salty cause I waited so long but I think I am just a little scorn I waited all this time, didn't get everything I paid for, and the game itself was NOT as good as all the cut scenes made it to be. Listen, Just my humble opinion, and I would take it with a grain of salt. If you're a fan, grab it especially since its cheaper now lol. If not, save the money.

Frame skips so badly on deck that it's unplayable. Failing to optimize for the deck is a terrible mistake. I can't even speak to the gameplay, but other reviews have covered that well enough.
