Wanted to be splatoon, wasn’t

just play a few matches in the demo and that's all.

This game is better than most modern fighters out there and I'm dead serious.

More ways to suck at fighting games. Yay me


Don't own, but have played a good lot of it with other people.

A strong concept with good presentation and characters, but it's just too basic for its own good. but A sequel with more skills per character and punch types would be nice.

I put a decent amount of time into arms. Fun little party fighter.

It was quite a bit of fun. It just severely lacked content and should've had a story mode.

eh it was kinda fun for a week

Actually pretty good and had a decent run of updates too. If only people actually remembered it lmao

Not sure what the hate is for this game, I personally really enjoyed it. Sure, it's not perfect and is lacking in some departments, but I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be.

this was fun, but could never justify buying it

I think this game's alright and people unjustly turned their nose up at it! It's a fun, goofy time, and I'd play another one if they made it!

I was one of 12 people that kind of liked ARMS before Smash Brothers but it's taken me this long to realize every song in the soundtrack is the same

Es uno de mis juegos de lucha favoritos porque como tengo cinco pulgares los input se agradecen muchísimo. Jugué mucho al online de este juego, llegué a engancharme bastante. Está falto de más modos para un jugador y personajes pero bueno, tiene muy buena base para una secuela.

sold this game for money cause i just never wanted to play it. had a lot of potential and was pretty fun tho, just light on content. also cool characters except the clown. fuck the clown. and not in that way

Nintendo sold an early access game for $60 and updated with characters instead of actual content.

i liked arms a lot more than the average person, and i think the series has tons of potential. fucking please nintendo make a sequel with way more content on launch, and a focus on a great campaign too.

Had a ton of fun with this. Great character design and catchy music

Very cool idea and good character designs, but there's not a whole lot to this game. Used to play this in high school in some classrooms back in the day because this was an easy game to pick up and play with everyone on the same skill level since I was never incredible at it.

It's a decently weird fighter/platformer hybrid, but the game never feels mechanically understandable, at least to me. Still, this game is a blast especially if you are using the joy cons.

GOD I wish they gave this game more attention, it was so good.


well this was disappointing... I mean I guess I should have saw it coming due to the fact that this was such an early release for the switch, but theres just not a lot of content here besides just fighting. And while the fighting is indeed fun, there will eventually be a point where you feel like you've had your fill, and when that time comes, what's really left for you? Nothing. They updated the game to include more characters and arms to use, but that doesn't solve the fundamental problem of the game not having anything to do besides fighting. Maybe with a sequel or something they could make a story mode or some more interesting game modes or larger battles on bigger maps with more players or something.

An extremely boring game. The side dodge is more prevalent than punching, and it makes it so that it feel like matches take forever because everyone KEEPS DODGING TO THE LEFT

Over hated af but the lack of content is apparent.
