Dunk Lords

This game is an absolute gem! It's a total love letter to the golden era of 90's gaming and culture even - the music, the gameplay, the over-the-top hilarious and zany effects, the aggro silly one-liners - everything together brings back the entire old school blissful feel of that era while also feeling contemporary in its polish and quality. While playing the game you can easily tell that this was a labor of love - the gameplay mechanics feel 'just right', the pacing of the gameplay is perfect, the game is quite challenging but never cheap, and the story mode is varied enough with twists and turns that make it a very engaging experience. The characters are inventive and unique, the one liners are superb (I just love Marlon the bear's voice clips, especially when he goes Mega). I felt so much nostalgia and joy playing through the story mode - which even as a single player experience is worth the price of admission! - and the game really shines playing it with a buddy or in a group, br...

TLDR: basketball, bears, and bops! get it, don't regret it! Dunk Lords offers a really satisfying blend of arcade basketball and over-the-top shenanigans. If you prefer ballin' with a giant bear, an alien pirate with a ray gun, and an anthropomorphic strawberry, as opposed to a pure [strike]boring[/strike]realistic basketball simulation, you won't be disappointed! I've spent most of my time single-player in the story campaign (which also supports local co-op). I found the challenge level to be really good for me. I think I beat about half of the story stages on the first try (not necessarily the first 9 stages but more distributed throughout). The difficulty curve does ramp really fast, but I found there was a good balance between tilting at losses of certain stages and the payoff of figuring out how to outsmart different characters and ultimately prevailing. It really does give a triumphant sportsball feeling when you finally win a match. One match I lost pretty frustratingly 4 time...

Welcome to the world of Dunk Lords. A world where an anthropomorphic strawberry isn't the strangest character you'll meet. A world where every disagreement is settled with an extreme game of basketball. A world that is completely ludicrous but somehow makes perfect sense. As someone who is neither a sports aficionado nor a sports game aficionado, I probably wouldn't have given this game a second look. But when I learned Laura Shigihara was doing the soundtrack I new I had to check it out. I'm so glad I did. I played through the story mode in one sitting, to the detriment of sleep. I just couldn't put it down. The artwork, game play, and music come together perfectly to create a fantastic world that kept hooked. Though to be honest, It took me a bit to get going - it's not a type of game I have much experience with, and thus the first few battles took far longer than they should have. But then something clicked. There were definitely battles that gave me trouble later, but even when I...

What a JAM! That means the amazing music (funky, bright and filled with old-school game nostalgia) and what my strawberry-headed boy Frank is dropping on a giant CHEATER of a LOBSTER PIRATE. Dunk Lords is frenetic, fluid, and funny! You'll be shouting out the silly special attack lines (LET'S GET DIGITAL!) and getting hyped up with every dunk, and even if you think you're not a competitive person, it'll get you amped up. The story mode teaches you that every problem in life -- including buying your deeply indebted friends' freedom from gun-wielding aliens -- can be solved on the court. An absurd cast of robots, bears, ghosts and nerds just rolls with every increasingly zany scenario. The victories are satisfying, the defeats are motivating, the berries are juicing. In the immortal dorky words of Marlon (who looks like the ICEE mascot straight out of the 90s), "Oh man oh MAN OH MAAAN!" Matches are short and sweet, making this very easy to pick up any time. It's great fun with friends...

soundtrack: dope dunk animations: dope style: dope controls: dope gameplay: fucking dope 4 player vs: fucking dope online: wack i really wish this game was online. i know proper rollback netcode is hard, i dont blame small indie devs for not implementing it. this game is otherwise P E R F E C T. i had a lot of fun playing with friends over parsec. a proper nba street/nba jam type game that's actually fun and works online is still just a dream.

What is Dunk Lords ? Well, what a disappointment, Im someone who really like to keep searching for a long time the steam catalog during a sale looking for some underrated indie I never heard about that is cheap and fun and that may provide something I may not get from an AAA game, Dunk Lords taking a fast look into the images and videos on the store page made it look like a simple basketball indie game and with its cartoony and colorful visuals I expected that I would get a fine sport game that would be fun and easy to get into, the sad thing is that this game just feels off, the controls are unresponsive and messy, the gameplay lacks a lot of polish and it feels way faster than it any right to be so every match becomes a confusing mess that is hard to keep focused into, the maps are too small for the chaotic gameplay they present here and as soon everyone get their upgrades and special moves it feels like a very unbalanced clusterfuck where every character can hit the ball multiple t...

This game is what happens if you mix NBA Jam with Looney Tunes, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Works surprisingly well over Remote Play Together as well if you want to B-ball with someone distant from you.

+1 🏀

Been looking for a basketball arcade game on steam and this is the best one.

really scratches my NBA street itch
