While I understand this is an Early Access game, this game feels way too rough around the edges for even Early Access. The animations are stiff and clunky, there are optimization issues with the game stuttering every time a match begins, the computer AI is kind of abysmal (In one match, an Alex bot dropped his amp and proceeded to get stuck behind it and just blindly mash until it got unstuck). No one character ever really felt satisfying to play as other than maybe Jacket? On the subject of the animations, there's a certain lack of distinction? What I mean is, for example, Jacket has an attack where he shoots a pistol but there's no real "shot", I thought it was just a pistol-whip for awhile. Pogo Mode is just Indie Pogo but not nearly as satisfying, Sports Mode is Volleyball but the AI is so abysmal that it can't even hit the ball forward and will just let it continually drop on it's side (And when their last point is depleted the game just keeps going, leaving you in an empty fiel...

First and foremost, begging for positive reviews in a tweet is pitiful. Giving out keys for said positive reviews is even moreso. Come on. Have some dignity. Apart from that, this game just... sucks. Puny roster, uninspired moves, the game feels like trudging through mud, it feels like it has barely changed at all, if at all, since the demo. The director also harassed my friend for liking a tweet I made about the game, so there's that. I'm still blocked. The audio is also very bad; the music is bad and half the attacks don't have sound effects. A lot of UI has no sound either. Steer clear. With how they're treating the reception to the game it will never be fixed.

I've been playing platform fighters for 15 years, and I've even competed at some major events. So you can believe me when I tell you this: It fails at the one fundamental thing every platform fighter needs to nail, making the movement feel good. The characters in this game are extremely stiff, and the moment you do a move all momentum stops. Many attacks feel like they come out way too slowly, the actual animations are janky with items just popping into existence, and somehow, it feels like every character is trying to walk underwater. The characters they picked for this game are laughably terrible; one of them is the main dev's OC most likely from their college game design course, and most of the others are a list of D-tier trash nobody would ask for. The most agregious is Alek YIIK, from the notorious dumpster fire YIIK, based on a douchebag who can't take criticism. I should thank the fact that the audio mixing is so terrible that I can't hear him while playing. The only ones worth...

I saw someone talking about this game in a tweet, the idea of alex yiik, jumbo josh, and jacket all being in the same fighting game REALLY interested me, I purchased it immediately only to be met with the most lackluster piece of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of spending my hard earned cash on. The fighting feels clunky, the tutorial is broken and even when I've seen it work it still doesn't explain anything, I have NO CLUE how to use my special, NO IDEA how to use these assist that you guys are so hyping up of, absolutely nothing here works correctly. I will say I had some fun matches as alex, he does have some fun combos to try, but there is quite literally nothing here to make it viable at all. No substance no flavor no nothing. This game solely rides off the backs of the indie projects that agreed to be apart of it, and even then half of these characters I have no idea who the hell they are, not to mention how gimmicky and borderline unplayable half of the cast is to the ...

Cross Impact is jank as hell, its currently lacking some features and i have several issues with it, but at the end of the day, it's fun as hell. Lets start with the positives -The Music is the best part of the game by far -Most of the stages and sprites look pretty good when still, and most characters are well animated. -Devs are very friendly and are always listening to feedback given -8 player matches -roster picks are fairly good, even if i only really have a connection to one of them Jumbo Josh is gonna be in the game) -Online is very responsive -The meter mechanic is a nice way to add depth -Devs update very frequently -characters feel fun to play despite their flaws Now for the negatives -Hit boxes can be jank and not match up with animations as expected (example: pal side b) -aforementioned hitbox jank makes some attacks feel really bad to use -there arent any really big stages, but they all have a lot of negative space around them -6 playable characters right now. While m...

The game is rough at times but it is improving consistently. One of my main problems are stuns and lack of variety in gameplay, such as lack of characters (for now) and there being high stun at times (there are other things but they will probably be improved upon. For early access and the game being in V0.1.4 as of writing this, it is very playable and I highly consider purchasing to support the game; I see it being a pleasing experience once more content releases. EDIT: The game is now a lot more fluid! The devs fixed the problem with constant hitstun, while also balancing characters. All new animations look very nice and the game usually runs smoothly in both local and online modes. Problems with profiles for control bindings were also fixed, which was a pain in the ass before. Props to the team! NOTE: As I said in my original review, the game is updated at least once every week, give or take, and thus is seeing improvements, while simultaneously listening to feedback given by the ...
