Attention people: PLEASE STOP pretending that u care about beat em up games
This game have too much positive review & its not even good as a beat em up game
I play beat 'em up game genre a lot, lots of games, including indie games that remain completely unknown to public
Suddenly this game reelease and everyone pretending they know beat em up genre
Stop this
Steam need to do something about this kind of reviews ITS EXACTLY THE SAME AS REVIEW BOMBING. but using Positive reviwes instead of negatives. It undermines other games who are tagged with similar tags as this "beat 'em up"

I've played Castle Crashers so I think that qualifies me as an expert on beat-em-ups.

if it's not your cup of tea, just leave a negative review and your criticism of this game then say what they can improve to the game since you're an EXPERT on this genre, since you also played other games and when you don't like it, you called it trash which is already pretty much tell me what kind of person you are. well if you're offended by my word then i guess i could say most what i said it true.

I ask this out of genuine curiosity and do not mean any malice whatsoever, do you have mental impairments?

iTS NOT about cup tea or not
Just this game does not deserve so many positive reviews in such short time
It is giving bad reputation to beat em up genre like this
Somebody will be looking for a real game , and they will find this insincere product instead - it is not good feeling
Steam need to do something about this, because its exactly same thing as review bombing, but giving positive review instead of negative Because it undermines other games that are tagged like this one

Cry about it. People like games with heart in them like this one. Even if beat-em-ups aren't my thing, still gonna try to 100% this game cause I respect Kay Yu.

The reviews aren't only for the game as a beat'em up, but also for it as a Hololive fan game. The game contains a lot of great references and such that are enjoyable to fans of Hololive, so it is great in that regards, regardless of how it stands as a beat'em up game.

Just because it's tagged as a beat'em up game doesn't mean the only valid reviews are the ones focusing on that genre.
It'd be a real shame if someone was looking for a beat 'em up and came across this game instead and spent their life savings to afford this zero dollar game instead of on a real beat 'em up but not like one of them anime ones like Final Fight or River City Ransom

... it is a bit basic. I'm pretty sure I've played beat-em-ups with more moves than this does. Also doesn't help that some of the "variety" with charged moves are typically useless unless you have someone to distract or the gear to enable it safely. I feel like even Battletoads had more combat variety, and way less projectile spamming.

I also have no idea what the stats actually do other than Crit and HP. I can guess, but I don't know what "defense" or "attack" even do. Is it a percent bonus? Does 20 defense mean I take -20% damage? Not a lot of communication.

Honestly as a Beat 'em Up, it was a... spirited good attempt

Sure the game is designed for Multiplayer... but the game launched without the Online; the way most of us would have played in a party, so all that's left is the Singleplayer experience
The controls are nothing special and perhaps even clunky, Pow Attacks and Abilities might work fine when you have someone else pulling aggro, but by yourself they are damn near unusable... Seriously, lengthy ones like Polka A2, you stay still for a good 4 secs free to get whacked mid-animation

Items and Consumables are really good, but its again poorly balanced; too many for Singleplayer, and most of us still cannot see the Multiplayer experience that would (possibly) involve trading and gifting to your Holobuds

But frankly, once you play some of the best that the genre can offer you;
Such as say... Madoka Magica Grief Syndrome, Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds and SPECIALLY Fight n' Rage, the beating up is very middling by itself, I'd dare say its EVERYTHING around the standard beating up that makes the game interesting at all

I'm just hoping JDON my soul that the Stickers somehow can be put into Steam Points Shop, that alone would make this game the ultimate GOAT

imagine being that salty to the point he has to come comment on a game (anime theme) that he is not interested in. Bro, nobody cares if it was beat em up or shoot em up. Most people play it cause they are fan of Hololive and if you bothered to do some homework at all you will find this game dev previous work is also a vampire survivor clone but no one complain about it like you do. do yourself a favor, stick to your other beat em up and Cope
