good game!
I loved that game, it's REALLY fun, like A LOT of fun. Every character feels good and learning how to play them is really rewarding. The absolute major praise I need to give ROA2 is the accecebility in Controls, you can customize everything and even play with a Gamecube controller. If it wasn't for these features I would not enjoy the experience that much and would struggle a lot. The game is extremely skillful and very punishing but if you take time practicing and learning 1 or 2 characters you will truly unlock this game. DO NOT sleep on this one, trust!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

better than melee
game is dogsh*t dont get it characters specially kragg just rely on a ton of bs in his kit to get the win, cant punish their whiffs at times so just spam and pray at times, some characters have absolute troll recovery, maps are dog, and to counter the cringe ass heroes like kragg you practically have to go pro and why would you if the games pissing you off wanna uninstall it, and run attack leads to you getting killed cause game trash some reason run jab doesnt combo just gets you killed at low percentage in a fighting game thats suppose to combo, balance is bad, how am i suppose to have fun if i am better then the enemy but hes winning by pure bs in a characters kit and my character has dog recovery etc also hard to grab the ledge at times i noticed and the games dead so nobody play it with save your money.
Melee but worse. Better art and easier gameplay. Worse characters. If that sounds good to you then you might like it
very good and like smash bros
"Potential man" of fighting games ngl...
Learning curve is a bit steep, but I would highly recommend.
funny furry smashing
it took me 18 minutes and 2 guides on google to remap controls. this game has worst UX among all products I used recently, for some reason half of the menus use stick to drag cursor in another half you can use d-pad gameplay mid, it's not worth the time, except you like little boys
