But will it stand the test of time?
Taz, The Tasmanian Devil!
A large dog that’s just hanging out!
If you’ve played Smash Bros before, it should feel instantly familiar.
Rather than distinguish characters by weight, here characters fit into certain roles or classes, a bit likeOverwatch.
Arya Stark is a damage-dealing assassin, while Wonder Woman is a tank.
But the game’s classes don’t really lend themselves to this kind of play, really.
Sure, I can shield someone as Wonder Woman and give them a bit of damage reduction.
Yes, as the large dog I can tether my teammate and reel them back from the brink.
Even Bugs Bunny can chuck a pie to heal his mates.
In the grand scheme of things, though, they all feel much of a muchness.
You could roll out any combination of Warner’s various bros and still have a solid enough scrap.
Another slight rework to the Smash Bros framework is in the UI.
Again, though, I’m not sure it’s any more helpful.
Win or lose with a certain character and you’ll net them EXP.
I just want to boot Shaggy off a cliff, not faff around with endless tiny stat changes.
Amidst all these criticisms, though, is a certain level of admiration.
The game is free!
But most of all, the game’s roster is bursting with personality.
Another lets you stick Jerry on the end of a fishing hook and cast him into battle.
Some of its additions aren’t all that exciting or particularly impactful, but fights are undeniably fun.
So, it’s looking good right?
Here’s hoping Shaggy thrives in his new MMA career.
