i love this game. all the unlockable characters,moves, secret items. although i find the wave mode and critical mode very challenging. its near impossible to 100% but it does present a challenge so.

Not recommended Mar 18, 2024
Nope... The controls aren't responsive, the combos don't feel good to hit, the enemies AI is dumb and the graphics are just lazy instead of a decent pixel art. There are much better 8 and 16 bit style beat 'em up platformers out there.

A nice diversion. It's easy to pick up, but feels absolutely a nightmare to master, but in a good way. I want to revisit this game (it's quite old by now?), and while people say controls don't work, they do, at least on my end. I enjoyed playing through it, but I haven't gotten near good enough for the harder difficulties yet. Definitely worth picking up though.

i HIGHLY RECOMMEND. If you like Super Smash Bros. you will love this game. is to learn hard to master. A lot of enemies on screen, they don't hold your hand to slow burn you. you are in the fire quick. I like the controls, quick and easy. you can change the controls any way you want turn it into Tekken or Dead or Alive controls. Cool art style.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
