Hookbots

4 out of 5 For a game that clearly was made to play with others you'll be surprised at how fun it can be to play alone and the many different challenges and party modes you will have fun with. The controls are easy to learn but hard to master, and the games are quick so it's really hard to get bored. Positive: there's a lot of customization available, specially in the party mode, that's the best mode this game has to offer, even against the ai you will always have fun, you don't win or lose immediately in each round, your score grows a bit in each round until you've completed the whole party mode, and that keeps you from getting impatient or frustrated, you'll be always exited and hooked to your current game! Negative: you'll see that the sport-type challenges (soccer, basket ball and volley ball) are the most frustrating of the challenges and it's difficulty doesn't change with the 4 different game difficulty settings, it's usually the same experience if you play against the ai in the campaign. If you like Towerfall, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros, Megaman or Mario Party you'll probably like this game.

In this video I take a look at Hookbots, a multiplayer brawler. Hookbots also has singleplayer bot combat and challenges which is what I show you in my video to give you a look at the type of gameplay offered. It's well made with a nice production quality. It offers unlocks by playing like new bots, skins, and different taunts. Take a look at the video to get a better feel for what it offers. Watch the video to see what the game is like..... https://youtu.be/1fqeClfcLhc Video curation, providing you with as many Let's Play's as we can. Thanks for watching.

Full Review: https://sipreadrepeat.com/2019/11/01/hookbots-indie-game-review-first-sip/ In Coffee Terms Hookbots is like a pot of black coffee, its full of energy and tastes good. But it’s better to share it with friends. And as it is just a pot of black coffee when you pour it out for everyone they can add sugar, milk or even syrups to taste. Tensions may rise and fights may break out when you’ve had a few too many mugs, but at the end of the day you’ll enjoy the taste and have fun and that’s what really matters.

Who is the idiot that thought it would be a good idea to release a game like this with no online multiplayer? Remote play is garbage. . .

Fun competitive action for local multiplayer. We had a great time.

Reminds me of classic Smash Bros in all the right ways, while still having it's own unique flavor. The hookshot mechanics are a lot of fun, there's decent variety as far as items without there being too many to remember, and they're all visually distinct so it's easy to tell what you're picking up at a glance. All of the characters feel unique while being similar enough to try a new character without too much of a learning curve. The controls are pretty standard for the genre, so those familiar with similar games can pick it up and play without much trouble. The single player modes are pretty similar to what you get from Smash Bros, but are different enough to stand on their own merits. The sports ball minigames are weird, but pretty fun. Overall if you want something in the same vein as classic Smash Bros but with it's own unique flavor I'd highly recommend it, solid 9/10 for what it is with my main complaint being lack of online matchmaking.
