Played this with a friend who was very enthusiastic about it and had already beaten it multiple times which made me think it was going to be a great game. It had everything going for it especially because I love Caste Crashers. However, after playing through the first few levels and getting through the first boss, I began to realise I had already gotten bored. For some weird reason, the combat lacks any cathartic feel, the enemies are mostly tanky and annoying, meaning each battle takes longer than it should. For the amount of time I played it, I felt that it was severely lacking depth as all you do is just move the characters around. When I found out how long it took to beat this game I wanted to abandon it as I could not force myself to endure the combat. Honestly, the writing is hilarious and the narrator is funny but alas, the story alone was not enough to keep me playing. I wish I could love this game as much as my friend does.

I remember this game had an immensely difficult time selling itself. A hexagonal comedy strategy game is a goddamn awesome idea on paper. But early versions of the game were buggy as hell and I would often find 50% playthrough saves would be erased with no reason.

It is also...not that fun in the later half of the game. Maybe keeping things short & simple would have worked out better for them.

However, the early game is a blast. Stamper's voice work carrying an entire game is not an easy feat, but that dude is talented for days in that regard. The charm and humor is off the charts.

I want to like it more, but there are so many bullshit units that exist purely for chaos that it muddles the game and doesn't allow the player to do much more than defensively maneuver around humorous, bullshit battles that take sheer luck to win sometimes. If the game wasn't framing itself as a serious strategy game, these elements would have worked better.

I don't even know what they were going for honestly. Still, there's really damn funny stuff in here.

I'm surprised I didn't like this one more. I usually really like the Behemoth's games as well as strategy games, but something about this one just didn't stick with me like with Castle Crashers or Battleblock Theater. It's a good game, but it feels like it's lacking something.

The gameplay and combat is pretty slow. When you unlock more classes and characters is when it gets interesting but not by much. What's cool here is that the game is flexible enough to allow you to create a team consisting of any classes so you can do what you want. The main story battles introduced a lot of cool scenarios, but it feels like it's over before it even begins. After that, all that's left to do is many side quests and getting all the unlocks. There's tons, so you have lots to do if that's your thing. Personally, I was pretty much checked out after the main story ended and I did a few side quests after. I pretty much saw enough. Battles got way too easy. Mixing and mashing classes together to create wild teams and formations is fun at first but gets boring quick.

The music isn't really all the interesting here either. The only memorable tune was the song that played during a side quest where I was fighting robots in space or whatever.

If you like Behemoth and their games and humor, you'll probably like this. Not a bad game at all, but the weakest in their catalogue of really good games.
