✦ AI summary

Turn-Based Champion receives divided opinions from players. Supporters praise it as a fun local multiplayer party game in the vein of Mario Party with RPG elements, highlighting solid pacing, engaging minigames, good value for the price, and appeal across age groups. Critics contend the game lacks meaningful content, suffers from low visual quality due to retro pixel art choices, missing graphics customization options, and is limited to local couch co-op without online multiplayer support.

Turn-Based Champion is a 2D retro pixel PvP local multiplayer JRPG styled collection of competitive garbage minigames of very low quality. There's an attempt to make this look like an RPG but it isn't really. There's a plethora of defects here that have worked very well at keeping gamers away, understandably. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. PC gamers will be insulted by the presence of console peasant children's toy controller prompts, despite this being on PC. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're developing for. Controls can't be customised, either, so this is basically unplayable u…

Someone enthusiastically created this, but it isn't a game. There's no content here; don't be fooled.

Turn-Based Champion is an entertaining game that plays like Mario Party with RPG battles in the mix. I watched the developer stream this game's creation, and the amount of effort and attention-to-detail is striking. As far as gameplay goes, it holds a nice, fast pace, and the minigames are exciting and good enough to play multiple times without being repetitive. The price point is good, considering you can take this on a laptop and play couch-coop with plenty of replayability in the form of multiple character classes, levels, and boss amounts. Overall, this is definitely worth grabbing if you want something new to play in a group!

Overall- its a solid game, its worth the cost. My daughter and I have played 2 games on it, she is 6. She enjoyed herself. I enjoyed it as well. - If you like "party" games, like mario party you will like it. There is several mini games that are challenging and if more get added even better. - Chance and rogue like elements as well and RPG elements are through out the game. It would be nice if there was more char custimization. But for what it is and an pretty new dev/game it is a good game. - You can play it with 4 friend or 2 kids and it is as fun and frustrating for all ages. for under $5- 8/10 would get Kaboom'd again
