Bounty Battle

"Bounty Battle&s;s character roster is the only thing it has going for it as everything else comes across like a school project gone wrong."

"An underwhelming game, full of lag, that is janky and has issues with hit detection. There is no online multiplayer, and it&s;s very boring to play against the dumb AI."

"Bounty Battle is not the celebration of indie game culture that I was hoping for; it is an embarrassment that should have been delayed."

"Bounty Battle is not the ultimate indie 2D fighter. It’s mediocre at best, with the only saving grace being its cast of familiar characters to freely use in training mode, a dope chiptune soundtrack, and decent simple level design. However, …"

"With smoother action, a deeper story mode, and a little TLC, the game could evolve into a decent substitute for Smash Bros. Right now, though, it&s;s simply not ready for center stage."

"To be perfectly honest, I could probably write another 1,000 words explaining just how hollow this experience is. When you figure you have a bland indie fighter, set in largely linear stages, that has, at best, three modes to play, …"

"A great roster of iconic indie heroes gets overshadowed by too many technical and gameplay problems. A game that would have needed many more months of development and testing to be acceptable."

"There is a lot of potential when it comes to Bounty Battle. The art is great and there are some unique gameplay mechanics. The team is continuing to improve on the game so it&s;s worth keeping an eye on Merge …"

"There&s;s no doubt that making a game that&s;s meant to compete with the likes of a juggernaut title from Nintendo is always going to be tough, and the likely results aren&s;t going to live up against the massive team and …"

"Bounty Battle is a game that I was very excited which is why I’m that much more saddened to give it the bad score that I am. A game that brought together so many fantastic indie game characters to fight …"

"From what I can tell from the excellently animated introduction, Bounty Battle brings a whole host of iconic Indie stars into battle. A strange portal appears in each of their worlds, dragging our heroes into a void and bringing them …"

"I am beyond disappointed. Bounty Battle has such a fantastic premise and such an amazing roster, but calling this half-baked doesn’t even scratch the surface of its issues. It looks bland, its sound department is mediocre at best, it features …"

"Bounty Battle is a disappointment from start to finish. It completely squanders a sincerely impressive character roster with a mixture of convoluted gameplay and poor technical performance. If you&s;re looking for indie Smash Bros., you&s;re better off grabbing the Undertale …"

"Unfortunately Bounty Battle is a series of missed opportunities almost destined to be a candidate for our site&s;s yearly awards – but not one of the good ones. Horribly unresponsive controls, shallow move sets and game modes and a clunky …"

"Bounty Battle is one of the coolest ideas for a game I&s;ve seen in some time, which is partly why I feel like part of my soul has been crushed. This game is an absolute mess. It&s;s presentation is terrible, …"

"The proposal to join characters from other indie titles is noble, but its execution is terrible. With poor gameplay and performance issues, Bounty Battle is far from living up to its potential. Unfortunately, it was not this time that we …"

"Bounty Battle is one of the very worst video games we&s;ve ever played. It&s;s got an amazing premise, for sure, and Dark Screen Games&s; has somehow managed to procure the use of all of these fantastic indie characters, but that&s;s …"

"Sadly, Bounty Battle plays about as well as it looks. The goal is to empty the health bar of your enemies, but character animations are so basic and stunted that it&s;s near impossible to tell what&s;s going on — especially …"

"Bounty Battle is offensively poor. An impressive selection of beloved indie characters are paraded around with none of the charms that their independent games have. I never thought I’d miss the cold, calculated way AAA equivalents are designed to make …"

"Bounty Battle might be the most ambitious cross-over event in indie gaming history. It unites 22 indie games under one banner and has their heroes duke it out in Smash Bros-esque fashion. This project might have been too ambitious though …"

"Bounty Battle&s;s core fighting mechanics doesn&s;t feel very satisfying and the lack of story mode for a cross over like this, makes it even more disappointing. The only part that the actually achieves something of value is the graphics and …"

"Can I give Bounty Battle a slight recommendation for character diversity alone? No, I can&s;t. There are excessive issues through and through, including (but certainly not limited to) lack of fluency, gameplay variety, and depth."

""Please slap my face.""
