Leftovers KO!

Ok ok, hear me out. Yes the game has some fundemental issues. Yes, the controls are clunky and never feel perfectly in sync even when you get down the timings (use a keyboard! It is way more accurate than a controller for this game). Yes, there is seemingly little to no rhyme or reason why certain moves work or don't work on certain bosses until you played them enough times to figure it out by sheer guess work (or consult a YouTube video). Yes, the game can be very obtuse in explaining its mechanics, like how you need to finish bosses with a special move or they'll keep reviving. Yes there is a pointless training mode that doesn't allow you to try out any of the moves and attacks aquired past the first boss. Yes, I beat it in less than 4 hours, there are no cloud saves, no achievements, manual only saving, defaults to starting a new game on a start up instead of continue, and a bug that will require a hard reset sometimes on a specific boss because your controls will stop working. BUT... I just liked it way too much to care. Especially if you get it on sale for $5 it's a great time. You paid for a hand drawn cartoony game about boxing anthropomorphic leftover food, and y…

this game is not for everyone I can tell. it's primarily for people who enjoy punch out style games. I have just completed the game as I am writing this review. the game itself was not very long but for me it was fun. I can see why some people don't like the mandatory star punch to win every fight. It definitely be annoying for some of the fights but for some I can say it's probably funner to figure out how to get the star punches (at least for me). But I definitely don't like your stamina going down with your health but generally I would say the game is quite fun and if you like punch out style games go on ahead and try it

I know many reviews have made the exact claims I'm about to and have done it in a much better articulated way but I feel passionate enough about Punch-Out and any games like it to say them anyways. Visually this game is amazing, I love the old webcomic-esque art style and the sets are well drawn, in the audio department there's nothing crazy good or crazy bad... But the gameplay is by far the weakest point of this game, needing a Star Punch to beat EVERY BOSS EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST is jarring for new players, when I played I thought there was a gimmick where star punches weren't required but were instead a risk/reward system for quick finishes because the first boss had gone down with normal punches and I beat the second boss with a star punch only after knocking it down twice. Star punches seem to be inconsistent to obtain with no clear signs where and when to counter, in Punch-Out the tells are obvious. The controls also seem to be slightly delayed or the animations are a bit slow or something because when a lot of attacks are impossible to dodge unless you predict them, I know I might not be the most ideal candidate to make such statements but a lot of other reviews mention som…

Looks pretty, love the concept, never played a punch out game but after this I will consider. The controls have mad lag, that plus things have near to no warning or tells means you cannot capitalize to things on reaction. Bust out your Eightball cause you are gonna have to start predicting or guessing. The game is a really good example of how "trial and error" doesnt work out all the time. Sure you will figure things out after exhausting every options, or look up how someone beat it and then beat it to save yourself time and a headache. (good luck I tried looking up the final boss and got no info) Trial and error works with puzzles after you understand the mechanics, not a fighting game that keeps resetting you to the beginning of the fight. imagine me giving you a sword and making you fight someone who cant be cut on the left arm or the left shin and you can only kill them permanently after hitting them perfectly before an attack that isn't well telegraphed thus gaining a charge and using a charged attack to finish them off, and me explaining none of this to you when handing you said sword. Good Luck. Even after you understand the gameplay loop its gonna be a solid 5 to 20 min…

I found the game fun, some bosses it felt really weird where I could hit, where I could gain/use power punches, and how I should dodge some attacks, but overall its a fun hour long game that satisfies a Punch-out itch.

Buggy and not fun. Its a shame
