This game was practically made for us. It mixes 4 player side-scrolling action with nice pixelated graphics, leveling up and a lot of puzzles. We really liked that all players have totally different characters and constantly unlock new weapons / actions. The coop mechanics are really nice: Reviving is on a percentage counter that counts up and remains at 99% where another player just has to swing by to get you up again. The downed player can give instructions to the alive ones to optimize the window on when it is best to revive. Also some enemies have shields in the colors of the players and only the right player can break that shield. Communicating that there is a shielded enemy and success on braking shields is crucial. The enemies are very varied and make fights very engaging. Additionally there are cool boss fights that spice things up. The game also has a puzzle component that is somewhat weirdly implemented. You can basically play through most of the game without paying attentions to the puzzles – you just find the odd secret stone-plate with poems written on. Once we engaged with these it was a surprisingly deep part of the game. From plain word puzzles, to subtle hints on what to do in the game to very weird environment stuff the game has a bonkers variation of puzzles. The puzzle part of the game is more or less optional. This is really one of the more creative brawler-esque games there are and deserves recognition and praise for its good ideas.
