Usually I like to play a game a bit longer before giving a review but here I am pretty confident I saw what there is on offer (playing since yie ar kung fu). The game is suprisingly very fun. I has an extremely simplyfied control sceme but that isn't a problem here. The whole atmosphere is really unique, I like it but I can see people hating it too. All here is kept very simple and understandable, yes there are combos, but all is kept fairly easy and this makes it perfect for me to play it more as a 'party game'. Not your next hardcore fighting game but It is what a game need to be for me ... Fun!

First thing's first, the music and character design is phenomenal. If you like some rockabilly, ska, or surf rock, you'll be tapping your foot to this. The option of some maps being black and white, as well as a 3-D option are an amazing commitment to the theming. On to the controls: After so many years of playing Guilty Gear and Soul Calibur, it's so nice to have some simple button prompts. Don't get it confused with being too simplistic, as you can still juggle people to an extreme degree with said combos. It goes both ways, but this game is balanced such that it's more of a feature than a bug. Don't get me wrong though, the early nerfs they had on a couple characters were still warranted, but this small team is responding surprisingly fast. Well worth the price tag for the base game and the DLC prices are not unreasonable. While this might not be one of my main fighters, I'll gladly keep this as a secondary, especially as someone who can't tiger knee to save his life.
