Take the Throne

Having a blast with this game. Extremely fun to play solo and with friends, especially with the modifiers in custom lobbies. Worth checkin out.

---{ Graphics }---
☐ You forget what reality is
☐ Beautiful
☑ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Bad
☐ Don‘t look too long at it
☐ MS-DOS
The simplistic graphics are good for what they are, and were never meant to be the main focus. They're also not hard to look at by any means though.
---{ Gameplay }---
☐ Very good
☑ Good
☐ It's just gameplay
☐ Mehh
☐ Watch paint dry instead
☐ Just don't
It's a battle royale with extra steps. You get the ragdoll physics of things like Human Fall Flat with the damage=knockback mechanics of platform fighters like Super Smash Bros.
---{ Audio }---
☐ Eargasm
☐ Very good
☑ Good
☐ Not too bad
☐ Bad
☐ I'm now deaf
The menu and arena tracks are nice, but can get repetitive after long sessions. Volume is also loud by default, but can be adjusted with settings.
---{ Audience }---
☑ Kids
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
☐ Grandma
It's a battle royale, and the community Discord can sometimes have streamers and/or 18+ discussions. The blood splatter is a bit excessive for my taste, but can be turned off in the settings.
---{ PC Requirements }---
☐ Check if you can run paint
☐ Potato
☑ Decent
☐ Fast
☐ Rich boi
☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer
The simple graphics do require a bit more than a potato, but I don't think a potato would fry either.
---{ Difficulty }---
☐ Just press 'W'
☐ Easy
☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master
☐ Significant brain usage
☐ Difficult
☐ Dark Souls
The controls are simple - swing, block, and evade. Mastering these skills, though, can take time, especially due to the unique physics of this particular battle royale
---{ Grind }---
☐ Nothing to grind
☑ Only if you care about leaderboards/ranks
☐ Isn't necessary to progress
☐ Average grind level
☐ Too much grind
☐ You'll need a second life for grinding
Leaderboards are the only real sign of progression.
---{ Story }---
☑ No Story
☐ Some lore
☐ Average
☐ Good
☐ Lovely
☐ It'll replace your life
---{ Game Time }---
☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee
☐ Short
☑ Average
☐ Long
☐ To infinity and beyond
Each set of 3 rounds averages out to about 10 minutes, with timers at each level to avoid the match going on for too long.
---{ Price }---
☑ It's free!
☐ Worth the price
☐ If it's on sale
☐ If u have some spare money left
☐ Not recommended
☐ You could also just burn your money
---{ Bugs }---
☐ Never heard of
☐ Minor bugs
☑ Can get annoying
☐ ARK: Survival Evolved
☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs
It's an indie game with 1 main programmer, so bugs are to be expected. We'll have to see how well the support is going forward, but the more successful the game, the more time can be dedicated to bug squashing! The longer your sessions are, the more likely you are to see them.

The relatively simple controls with some deeper mechanics are great for a few games solo and even better as a party game style session with friends. A lot of the enjoyment comes from the competitive talk between friends and/or in the community Discord.
It's important to note that while I only have a handful of visible playtime hours, I was a regular Beta tester since January 2021 so have seen the game go from a buggy mess to the more unified vision that it became.

f2p rumbles. Go in, whack each other around - earn points for pricy customisations. A bunch of classes with special moves you can't use until you kill people. Different modes for playing with friends also, if you just want to ragdoll around without being eliminated.

If Smash Bros and Roblox has a baby, this game would be it. Super fun! Especially with friends. I will definitely be getting all my friends involved into this chaotic madness. Hope to see new updates in the new future.

So, ive played this game in i guess the testing rounds so playtest. its fun, the devs are amazing. i just need to relearn the controls and how to play lol

After playing this for a few hours with some friends and with randoms I can say this game has a lot of potential of being one of my regular game nights. The Classes make you think of how to react to others and predict their next move.
Overall a fun time!

The game is poorly optimized. Severely overloaded with animation effects. It would be better if the quality of the character textures was made normal.
The game often becomes desynchronized, especially in a fight, when everything around you starts flashing, you can freeze, and then find yourself in an unexpected place with unexpected consequences. And this is not a computer problem, this is a server problem.
