A disappointing watered down tonyhawk game mixed with devil may cry with more of the crying. Being a lover of older skateboarding games and hack and slash and finding new love for rpgs, i was pretty hyped for this game. Art direction is awesome along with some fun characters I wish we got to see more of. And the system is okay but the overall lack of skate moves and floaty feel to skating, the game makes it a passable skater game in my books. Again Skating feels floaty and is going to be unsatisfying to most tony hawk game players, and I know combat was a the main part of this game, It does get added points for some fun enemy design and fun perks buying clothing, tats, and stickers, but this feels very much like a bottom to mid tier skate game. Levels also feel like they are very much the same. The style of the art looks fantastic and i think spot on for skate culture but making each level feel different would have made better replay-ability. It still feels very unfinished...

User Reviews
fix the game, like goddamn
This was a pleasant surprise, stumbled upon while browsing. The roguelike aspect is not only unique but executed incredibly well, the way the devs incorporated gear vs stats is very well done. visually this game is very pleasing and keeps you wanting to bust out sick lines to see the visual effects. I went in worried that it wouldnt be "skateboard" enough and man they capitalized on the trick system...HIGHLY recommend this gem
Was working great before the changes now the games is even less fun and more restrictive
