I have a bag I take to family events, with my steam deck and 2 controllers. Sometimes I see a bored, nephew, or cousin and ask them if they "wanna try and beat me?" I'm terrible at these games so they usually do without me having to handicap myself.
I tell you, when a kid screams "MY ROBOT DINOSAUR JUST DESTROYED YOUR SKELETON PIRATE!!!" and then goes and tells every single family member that exact thing. It feels good.
Works great on the steam deck too!

For the people claiming that you can only use one character, read nigga, read. You can get characters for free by playing the Shadow Lords mode, you get Jago as your first character in said mode, but you can also unlock Fulgore, Orchid and other characters this way. go play the game instead of giving fake reviews that only prove you don't know how to read.

Underrated fighting game, idk why this hasn't been at least on par with MK or Street Fighter

I can't believe how many people are posting negative reviews because you get a small roster on the free version. What did you expect? Most fighting games aren't even free at all. It's half the price of a normal game if you want the full game.
What is wrong with people...
