MultiVersus Review
Ойындар
MultiVersus reviewed by John Carson on PC and Xbox, also available on PlayStation.
MultiVersus is a raucous and fun competitive platform fighter that rewards players for learning the strengths and weaknesses of its eclectic cast of characters. Its focus on online 2v2 means it lacks the pick-up-and-play nature of a game like Super Smash Bros., but it also does a nice job of setting it apart from other games in the genre. MultiVersus may need time to grow its currently limited selection of stages and characters to meet its bright potential, but its foundations are already rock solid.

The fact that we got ALL the classic character voices and let Matthew Lillard do the superpowered meme Shaggy is a gift onto itself.

Also no block button, or grabs, and cool down timers on moves and dodges to keep it balanced. The game is definitely worth playing. 🔥

@Zack Smith I've been playing Smash Bros since the N64, and the only thing this game "copies" from it is the fact that it's also a platform fighter lol. There's no shielding, no grabs, and limited dodges. It plays *very* differently.
It seems like the stages are always symmetrical which might be what makes them not seem as interesting. They likely did this for the sake of balance, but maybe the more balanced maps are better kept as map pools for competitive? They need a dynamic stage like a Tasmania stage with no pitfalls but random monsoons that come and go mid-match where the wind can blow all the players one way or another, making smashes in that direction stronger and the opposite way weaker. Or a Wicked Witch's tower stage where it constantly scrolls upwards and flying monkeys can swoop about here and there on occasion?
I’m amazed at how polished this game is. The character movement animations look so smooth and clean.

7:31 - actually it's up to 5 characters atleast for the next 2 weeks. 4 per rotation (not sure if it stays at 4, changes every 2weeks, so even casual players can test every char out sooner or later without having to use the lab) +everyone gets Wonder Women for finishing the tutorial
Can't wait for the Larry David character drop
if you got a friend that you can do lots of combo moves with itll be even more fun tbh

Been at work all night playing this on my steam deck while my disabled patient plays on his Xbox. We are running stuff as a batman/superman duo
that double superman stun & carry into out-of-bounds tho
Interesting how people think 17 characters is a small roster these days. Makes sense though.
If Disney did this with the mirror verse characters, Star Wars, marvel, and Fox owned characters, we’d be on to something here
Okay, now all we need is the movie version

It will be like For Honor. Small dedicated playerbase. Let's be honest here, the button mashing kiddies will get bored with this relatively quickly and the only people playing will be middle aged, basement dwelling no lifers who take this kind of stuff 100% serious. Never understood why you'd make a a cartoon styled game that's supposed to bring in the "kiddies" but at the same time tailor to adult people who never leave their houses. No way a kid will test out every single character extensively and spend hours upon hours in the training lab figuring out which characters attack/combos counters who's characters attacks/combos etc, etc. They just wanna pick Taz or Shaggy and throw people off the map. There's a reason why stuff like For Honor dies down so quickly. Nobody except a small group of people want to put in the work. The majority simply wants to play a game and not have it be like a job.

Animations and presentation still seem a bit janky. It’s kind of hard to follow along with the action or respond to your opponent’s moves. Readability of attacks is really important in fighting games, and it’s something that Smash does a great job with.
This game here has some serious potential ☺️
Is there smash like trophies, classic mode, secret characters, stages, lots of unlockables and single player based content ?

This game is definitely fun if you're playing online competitively, but if you're just a casual like myself who doesn't really care about playing online, there's not a lot the game offers to you.
