I never really understood the beat 'em up genre since they usually have bad controls, stiff movement, and horrible difficulty balancing. But for whatever reason, people loved this shit and we got this mess of a game. It falls into all the negative tropes of the genre while offering nothing I haven't seen done many times before. The enemies are extremely tanky and it can take ages to get through a wave when all three have massive health bars. You can select a variety of characters, but the only one that actually feels viable is the ninja because he has a triple jump and his special does massive damage. Many times the best tactic is to wait for a screen with food and then to spam your special, since it just eats up a bit of health. Once you can't use it anymore, you can heal almost completely. They put in WAY too much platforming, and it's fucking embarrassing when the enemies themselves can't figure out the layout and keep injuring/killing themselves. Difficulty is dumb because there are enemies which can break out of your combos without indication to deal some ridiculous damage and the knockback is so severe. Sometimes it doesn't even let you get up for a few seconds, so you're stuck on the ground, vulnerable. This game just feels like a joke, and I have no idea why Nintendo would put it on their online service for any reason other than to meme. 1/6
