I have played both the Switch and the PC versions of this game. I will be talking about the Switch version since that is the one I have played the most.
This game is probably the best beat 'em up I've played. Good controls, great animation, great presentation, great music; the gameplay is fun and addictive, there are plenty of secrets and different optional collectables, and I felt like the difficulty in this one was a lot more balanced than in the Scott Pilgrim game for example.
I love that there are so many different characters that you can play as, as well as the fact that you can play with up to five other people, which is insane. I can only imagine how chaotic and how much of a blast it must be to play this game with five friends...Unfortunately I don't have that many irl friends that visit me that often and are willing to sit down with me to play this game.
There is also the option to play online with strangers but it's not the same really; plus, I'm very socially anxious and I don't know how to just use the voice chat while playing with people that I don't even know.
On that topic, I did once manage to get at least four other friends to play with me locally...However, it was very clear that the Switch just could not handle that many people playing this game at the same time...Which is a MASSIVE issue when that is the whole point.
I didn't test this online and I just stopped playing one day because I don't like to play these kind of games alone; but I do want to revisit this game one day, with at least one more friend.
It's an amazing game and you should play it. Only 4 stars and a half for the Switch version, but it deserves a 5 otherwise.
