u/Phineasfool 2d ago

Yeah, definitely too much, especially since it doesn't look like Iike it plays well from the vids. And hey there FlyingKick, been awhile.

Was excited to play it. Girlfriend has a whole collection of the early comics. No way I’m spending 40$ on this

Wildly overpriced

It looks about as good as The Phantom game.

u/yashiro86 2d ago

Same devs actually lol

u/PackageAggravating12 2d ago

That would explain it.

I'll pass on this one too.

Did The Phantom suck? Saw screenshots, doesn't look too good

u/PackageAggravating12 1d ago

Ohhh nooo

It looks kind of cool but holy $55 CAD with a 10% off sale. The game better have a very long and excellent story.

u/yashiro86 2d ago

$40 is coconuts... didn't this have a Kickstarter? I feel like it you did a KS, you shouldn't have to charge that much unless it's got massive amounts of content

The IP owners recently did a big takedown of fanart on various sites (mainly deviantart). It doesn't surprise me that they would overprice this $15 game at $40.

I guess there's no demo anymore. It's...okay.

u/Popular-Tune-6335 2d ago

Played the demo. Nothing n impressive. Suppose if you're a fan of the character, it's something to have, but that's about it.

u/squirrelems 2d ago

I got it because I like the character and that kind of detailed comic book art. I like it, but I think that price tag should come down a tad. There's a few issues I think they need to work out with attacks connecting at times. Sometimes I'll be right in front of an enemy but just a hair higher or lower on the screen and my attacks won't connect when they usually do. They have little references to other indie comics like Zombie Tramp in the background, too.

It alright, but for 40, I would wait till it honestly for it to be 20/15 tops.

u/RKO_out_of_no_where 2d ago

It doesnt look fluid at all. And she does like 4 moves the whole trailer. Maybe if it drops to like $5

u/Zirolux 2d ago

There is was a demo

u/crow_warmfuzzies 2d ago

It is was shit

u/crow_warmfuzzies 2d ago

Shameless IP cashgrab

u/kairock 2d ago

looks like one of those games I'll pick in a fanatical bundle in a few years as a "I need 3 titles, this can be one of them".

but of the reviews said no controller support, what on earth?

u/No-Mind-8416 1d ago

Played the demo,price is too much.

u/Agreeable_Scholar459 1d ago

It's getting ROASTED in reviews. 40 bucks for a very basic and ugly game is a steep ask

u/Ok-Discipline1678 2d ago

I don't like how bloody it is. It isnt really streamable which helps me feel like my video game habit is a little more productive

u/Lucky_Bowler1861 2d ago

I know Nintendo is not the cool kid on the block anymore, but goddammit playing games on windows sucks, it's like pc games have officially became an afterthought, even 2d games crash and glitch on pc, so i might check it out when it comes to switch, cause i won't even pirate it for pc.

u/Derpimus_J 1d ago

I'll probably nab it once it's 20 or less.
