Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed-to-negative recent opinion: short, free co-op fun with a friend, but many reviewers report desync and bugs that break progress and achievements.

Many players say the game is fun for a short session with a friend, praising its chaotic, silly co-op situations and the fact that it costs nothing. Its main appeal is that the fun depends almost entirely on who you play with, and a single playthrough takes only about 20 to 30 minutes. Many reviewers complain about network desync: buttons, switches and character positions often show differently on each player's screen, so puzzles reset and achievements or trophies fail to register. Some also criticise sloppy physics and wall jumps, unhelpful sword combat, and the lack of save points and sound settings. Some reviews from the last year say the game was buggier earlier and has since been reworked, but many recent reviews still report the same problems. Steam's overall totals are far more positive than these recent reviews.

Criticised

  • Network desync

    Players say buttons, switches and character positions show differently on each screen, breaking puzzles and progress.

    Many players
  • Sloppy physics and controls

    Players describe unpredictable jumps, wall slides and delayed attacks, which make platforming frustrating.

    Many players
  • Achievements and trophies fail

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a short, free silly co-op session with a friend who will tolerate bugs.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by anyone who wants a stable experience, achievement hunters, or players who cannot play with a partner.
