It's an incredibly clunky brawler that's saved slightly by its colorful and goofy visuals.

It's hard for me to describe this one. It is a beat 'em up, I guess, but it feels almost more like a chintzy physical game at a county fair than a video game. Closer to an "amusement" or a pinball table or something. Very loud and gaudy and American and it doesn't feel like you're really doing much besides button mashing through a premade animation. There is gameplay, but it feels very weightless.

I dunno. It gave me weird vibes. It's like the video game equivalent of the run down fun houses that have been at your local State Fair for the last thirty years.
