![]() The game is still technically under maintenance by the developers, even though you can buy it. The game does have some flaws, though, most of which can be attributed to its “early access” status. You’ll find yourself screaming as your friend attempts to throw you from a ferris wheel. There aren’t many games where you can dress like a giant chicken, throw a luchador off of a billboard, and still claim you are “family friendly.” The graphics are very simple and there is no blood, but the game has a strange way of making players attached to their avatar. Capable of supporting anywhere from two to eight players, the game devolves into a brutal and hilarious battle royal. There are single player options to play against waves of computer-controlled opponents, but the biggest appeal of this game is the multiplayer. ![]() Other actions range from headbutting your opponents into unconsciousness or falling completely limp to the ground as a dodge. It is wacky, frustrating, and hilarious at the same time. You have to continually hold down a button to grip someone, press another button to tense that arm, and time your release of the buttons to throw your opponents. The independent limbs of your character are controlled by multiple buttons. The control scheme is purposely set up to be obtuse. The trick is that it sounds a lot easier than it is. Stages range anywhere from factory warehouses, to skyscrapers, and even on top of speeding semi-trucks. You control a colorful figure in a goofy costume in a mission to simply wrestle any and all opponents off of the stage. Frankly, after a long day of classes, I’d like to sit down and just have a laugh while playing a dumb game. It is getting hard to find a game that people don’t take too far, getting deadly serious with tactics and competition. As time and technology march forward, sometimes it feels like we are leaving behind the beloved age of the silly multiplayer party games.
