Smack Studio

mediocre at all master of none

I'm genuinely surprised this isn't more popular. it has everything you'd ever want when it comes to character customization and game animationwise when it is used effectively, I've haven't tried Fraymakers yet but I am considering it, even though I'm satisfied with Smack Studio. I would also consider that an ultimate game due to the customization and creativity involved. do note that this is my personal opinion and you should treat it as nothing more than that. Smack Studio allows you to be creative with not a lot of restriction, as you can create basically whatever you want and have your dream fighter come to life. you can either import sprites from other games, or make the sprites yourself. I personally find it more fulfilling to make them myself but its ultimately your choice, and I find that beautiful. currently I'm trying to explore custom movesets in this game/program, I have no idea how to do so yet. there are tutorials for this program but I don't personally think there is enough tutorials for this program to help me. there is a discord server fortunately and I believe you could ask for help when it comes to character development. I do wish there was a feature to delete characters you don't want to work on anymore. but overall, its almost perfect, whether the gameplay itself is hooking or not is up to your tastes. I'd give this a 9/10 review.

This game is genuinely incredible. It doesn’t just copy the platform fighter formula—it builds on it in a way that feels both familiar and completely fresh at the same time. The gameplay instantly reminded me of MUGEN, except reimagined as a full-fledged platform fighter with tight mechanics, fast pacing, and a huge emphasis on player freedom. It captures that same sense of creativity and unpredictability while still feeling polished enough to take seriously. One of the biggest highlights is the movement system. The game includes mechanics like wavedashing, which immediately gives it a higher skill ceiling and makes movement feel incredibly fluid. For fans of competitive platform fighters, that alone adds so much depth to every match. The controls feel responsive, movement options are satisfying to learn, and there’s a strong sense that the game was made by people who truly understand what makes the genre fun. The workshop support is where the game really becomes something special. The amount of community-made content available is absurd in the best way possible. There are countless custom characters and stages to download, which means the experience never really gets old. It creates the same endless customization appeal that made MUGEN so memorable, except now it’s attached to an actual platform fighter framework that works extremely well online and offline. Speaking of online, the game handles workshop content surprisingly smoothly. If another player is using a custom character or stage you don’t already have installed, the game automatically downloads it for you during the character select screen. That small feature makes a massive difference because it removes all the usual hassle of syncing mods with friends before playing. Combined with the endless workshop content and strong gameplay mechanics, this easily becomes one of the best platform fighters out there for anyone who loves the genre.

Easily the most UNDERRATED steam game of all time. its basically Mugen but with smash bros styled mechanics and its far easier than mugen to make a character. 10/10
