I was pretty excited for this game due to its concept of mixing a bunch of popular indie games. However, I've played for 20 minutes and I just feel disappointed. The game feels clunky and the combat doesn't have much variation to it. The AI is not good at all, I was able to beat the highest level bots by just spamming light attack. Usually this doesn't matter, but there's no online so playing with bots is the only way to enjoy the game if you don't have friends around. Everything about this game just doesn't feel finished. I wish they put it in early access to get some more funds and really flush everything out. I feel like they spent most of their budget on the roster and dropped the ball on everything else. If you wanna enjoy an indie game, just play any of the games that are featured in this one instead for a much better time.

Well, what should I say first? I was very surprised when I randomly found this game Steam, searching for something new. Trailer looked awesome, music is something what you actually expect from a game about heroes from indie games. Very enjoyable. Plus we can notice heroes from games that we like, or not, either way it catches the eye because it's familiar. It all makes you expect something like Smash Bros. Developers claims that this game is inspired by Skullgirls and Street Fighter. Sounds interesting, right? But what if I tell you that this game is so raw that you can see the coding? (Ramsay joke intended) Aside of jokes, it doesn't look anything like you see in the trailer. Nothing epic. You can't interact with stages in any way, 0 combos, except if i+o buttons counts as a combo, controls are unintuitive on keyboard, and while you can change it on keyboard (yes, I'm playing fightings with keyboard, haha), it still feels weird. Menu is weird. You expect escape button to be the...

The animations and hit registry are atrocious. Music is good and the character selection is pretty nice but overall feels really jank. This needed more time....... The special moves are a bunch of sparkle effects. The effects on your attack are what is counted as the hit, not the sword swinging or the punch landing its the effects they throw off that hits. Locked at 1080p resolution or lower. No multiplayer lobby or match making.

Thought it had potential it got release too early with too many issues and way too many delays how one dev got the rights to all these characters for his first project i have no idea if they ever consider asking community for help to fix then maybe it could go some where but now its pretty meh

Me feel sad. I was looking forward to playing this game for so long, I though the delay was supposed to have some polish made. but unfortunately, the game still quite buggy. and over roll it did not feel like a finished game at all Punch: the attack feedback was poor, feels like you are punching air collider (Hit box) was not working properly; some attack looks like it should hit opponent but not. Particle effect seems unrelated Bounty feature: The bounty part does not instruct well, I have no idea what my minion will do, (I don’t know all the Characters) and they just seem pretty annoying to appear in the middle of battle. It looks a bit mess to me. I don’t want to be super critical so I’m not gonna list all the stuff out. But I felt disappointed and a bit waste of all these great Indie game titles. oh, and localization was full of bug, It seems not done yet.

Now i know that there team is VERY SMALL and this is their first outing but sometimes you gotta accept the truth. I hate to do this, and i hope it doesn't go off onto a tangent, but here it is: The game's concept is amazing. Having indie characters duke it out against each other within a roster that boasts quite a few fan favourites (whilst lacking others) makes this a wonderful thing. They look great, sound great but unfortunately do not play great. EVER. Combat is boring, repetitive and feels like a chore to do instead of something that's meant to be fun within a fighting game. Not sure if it's the lack off combos, moves or the overall slow feel of it but the combat is a road less travelled and to make a fighting game you gotta have great combat, but that's not here. Graphically wise it is below average. In a fighting game it doesn't matter about the graphics because that not what you play for, but here when nothing else connects the world feels empty with the lack of emphasis o...

I was initially very excited about this game due to its interesting and varied cast of characters that were presented in trailers and promotional materials. Loading up and playing the game on release day was extremely disappointing in both gameplay and visuals. Paired with lackluster multiplayer options, Bounty Battle on release was a complete and utter failure. Regardless of such problems, I held onto the game hoping that the devs would patch and fix Bounty Battle into a game they could be proud of. The last patch as of this review was October 9, 2020. They've abandoned an amazing concept and cast of characters and just ran with our money. Waste of time, money, and hype on a scam. Don't buy.

I've put almost 10 hours into the game which I feel is enough to write a review fairly. So first off yes there is a lot of issues that need to be addressed (the discussions says it all) But! that doesn't mean the game isn't fun. I was able to look the other way with all the issues and actually enjoy the game fully and I have to say it's actually good! A lot of people may not agree with me but i'm not here to argue i'm here to say that this game does have a lot of potential and even though it got released with high expectations for a lot of gamer's and was not delivered at launch does not mean you should look the other away and ignore this game. I realize that the developers are a small crew and that it will take time to address all the known issues but for the mean time I support this game fully. I've enjoyed the content it has at the moment and I am happy I purchased this on day one, this way I can see the game grow and evolve into something even more amazing then it already is! If yo...

I would recomend it for people who enjoy indie titles and games that look good. I want to see this game do well and I am sure it well. Besides, it might not be a great game right now, but this was the first project of these devs. Im sure they would wanna try and make their first game as fun as they can. But I would give this a solid 6/10. Its got a lot of potential though and I support it. Even if right now its not the greatest game ever.

i do NOT recommend even trying this game, it's clunky and limited, if you want an indie fighter, buy rivals of aether and find some mods. This game is bad
