U better have a newbie friend to play with when u want to learn this game. but damn it if u do. I have an abnormal amount of love and respect for this and rivals one, that basically no other competetive game has gotten out of me over the years.
Best character design in the buisness. Each character has such interesting and unique kits. Any one of these characters would be a standout in any other fighter. It like an album of where every song is amazing.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.56/day in the week to Aug 4 → 6.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Please give this game love.
Literally one of if not the best Smash-like game on the market. Characters have unique and fun gimmicks, and not even the very bottom of the tiers is anywhere close to being unplayable. This game does need some time to grow, and I hope it still gets that chance despite the kvetching...
Bugs rock!
im no furry but this game is cool :P
Kinda badly optimized, takes so long to load. The first games are very jittery and you gotta deal with low FPS until you play for a couple games, even on the lowest settings. Also some tutorial images don't show up. Ended up refunding because it's such a slog to warm up the game for 30 minutes before being able to play without issues, I really wanna purchase the game again when or if it gets better optimization because I am a huge Rivals fan.
Love it as a prior Melee player. It's difficult, but it feels better to play than any other indie platform fighter I've tried.
great game wow
Not enough skill expression. This game is just melee for babies.
