BOTOLO

I've only played for a short time, but I can already tell you a few things for sure about this game: - it's gorgeous - it's got that delicious pure yomi feel without being a traditional fighter - nothing is horribly wrong with it, it's well made, it feels good to play Things I wish were there or were a bit different: - Online multiplayer would of course be amazing - I can't actually tell yet if the high scores for the singleplayer mode are online or not. If they are, there are very few other people playing so far! If they aren't, the choices of default scores are a little odd. - The menus are really cool, but take a bit too long to navigate sometimes. It's quite a few button presses to get into a match. This isn't a big deal. - keyboard controls kinda suck. you probably want to be able to play with a controller. I wish it were a little easier to move precisely with keyboard.

Pure mind games. Every aspect of the game maximizes the amount of trickery, deceit and figuring out the insides of your opponent. Like a fighting game distilled to a core of the battle between 2 minds. The fight is direct, there are no obstacles in-between, no cover to hide, just you and your opponent face to face, the duel taking place inside your heads. It's best to play this game with a good amount of different people, perfect for tournaments, game nights, LAN parties, local multiplayer gatherings or even board game events! Because the matches are short and interesting to watch, as long as you keep changing the players up, nobody will get bored if they like mind games (if they don't, then again: it's pretty fun to watch close matches). It can both be played casually and competitively, too. There's not that much to learn about the game for it to be competitive, anyone can pick it up really quickly, really, you can invite anyone to play, quickly explain it and 5 minutes later, they b...

A underrated 1v1 game that has a very pure representation of mechanics that are common to a lot of fighting games(spacing, parrying, etc.). Lots of mind games.

This game is the essence of versus fighting at its core. Pacing, distance, anticipation. The gameplay as well and the art direction is so pure and build so much tension, you may need a massage to relax after a game. A must play for any designer wanting to explore VSfighting genre.

Very good game! it's a shame it lost its way among hundreds of other games. It would be nice to get some updates, new maps, skills, online, etc. But over all, gameplay solid and fun. Great 1v1 experience.

the purest pvp/sports game out there

Underrated. Great pure 1v1 battle mechanics.

I really love this game! The game-mechanics are unique! It's hard to play for newbies, but absolutely recommended for those who search a competitive "non-standard" game.
