Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free beat 'em up for its charm and fun with friends, but solo play and missing online co-op hold it back.

Many players praise the free price, the cute pixel art, the emotes and the Hololive references, and some enjoy the upbeat chiptune soundtrack and the many characters and items to unlock. The brawling itself is often called fun in short bursts, especially in local co-op. Complaints center on solo play, which many find frustrating because the game feels built for four players. Some players also report stiff or delayed controls, glitching backgrounds, and a late game where enemies with super armor outpace the player. Many reviewers were promised online multiplayer that has not arrived, and some say the game lacks replay value. Recent reviews are more critical than Steam's overall rating, with several negative ones about the design and solo experience, though many recent players still recommend it.

Praised

  • Free and charming

    Players enjoy the cute pixel art, the Hololive references and the emotes, and value that it costs nothing.

    Many players
  • Fun with friends in co-op

    Reviewers say the brawling is most enjoyable in local co-op with friends, even if solo play is weaker.

    Many players
  • Music and character voices

    Players single out the chiptune soundtrack and the goofy character voices as highlights.

    Some players
  • Short, relaxed playthroughs

    Players describe it as a light time-killer that is easy to pick up and not too long.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Poor solo experience

    Players find solo play frustrating, as the game seems designed for four players and enemies overwhelm a lone character.

    Many players
  • Missing online multiplayer

    Reviewers were promised online play that has not arrived, and local-only co-op limits how they can play.

    Many players
  • Controls and responsiveness

    Players report stiff, delayed or unclear controls and menu navigation problems.

    Some players
  • Balance and late-game spikes

    Players complain about sudden difficulty spikes, super-armored enemies and a weak progression curve.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy light beat 'em ups, Hololive fans and anyone with friends for local co-op will find the most fun here.
Who should skip it
Solo players who want a balanced challenge or smooth online play should skip it, since those are its weakest areas.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with many hours tend to note replay issues and balance spikes, while short-session players mostly praise the charm and easy fun.
