Recent reviews by Kawg

I helped Kickstart Strength of the Sword Ultimate years back with a LOT of money. It's a solid game and the combat is too deep for me but I absolutely love that.
The game has an incredible Multiplayer Suite but there isn't the life in the fanbase for it.
The DLC's are likely because the guys who worked on the game didn't know how to hide the special backer content to let people who had the codes access them.
If the recent Iron Pineapple video helps bring this game to life, I'll be eternally grateful.

It's alright, but I just don't think Battle Royale games are for me

The DLC is great, really great, super cute and a nice challenge.

Now, to the passing reader, please consider this:
A lot of these reviews just need to realize that not everything is going to be handed to them. There's a bit of a difficulty spike but a lot can be solved with simple problem solving.

I'm turning on comments so people can get butthurt with me.

I got this game free from my stream fans pooling some cash together and getting it for me. Would I still buy this game disregarding that fact and having finished the game to the true ending? Yes.

I want to start with saying that even with its problems, I absolutely love this game. The characters have decent personality, the gameplay is fun, the visuals are nice, and the music is great. I like that Crow may be genuinely a better person than the heroes you face during the game, that's great.

I beat this game in a single run in 3 hours 35 minutes. But that is because I tend to blow through platformers, and speedrun similar playing games. 50 minutes were likely dedicated to the Secret True Ending path alone, which is a decent increase to the time if you did the math.

After that preface, time to list the pros and the cons.

PROS:

Enjoyable cast, full of personality
I love the art, even if there's a strange character bubble art/ingame art divide, (I think I may even like it a bit more, actually.)
The music is great.
The gameplay can be fun and challenging, but some portions aren't for everyone.
The Boss battles are enjoyable.
New dialog for the main characters after each level/major event


Cons
Sometimes the music loops strangely
Too many flying enemies during some tense platforming segments
Game length can turn some players off (6 hours)
The true ending path is extremely hidden and shockingly specific


Overall I love this game so much, even with its flaws.

A simple, fleshed out, and entertaining game for everyone involved. The game has a great matchmaking system, and is a ton of fun with friends. New content is added fairly frequently, due to a very dedicated development team. A quick download for a big thrill. Brawlhalla awaits.


Now, what are you waiting for? Go beat the hell out of eachother.
