Write 'n' Fight

Definitely don't waste money on this. The idea--famous writers of history in a brawler--is hilarious. And that's where the value of this game ends. Definitely one of the worst-made brawlers I've ever played, with truly boring controls, a lack of combos, and a lack of...well, pretty much everything else. Nothing innovative about the game whatsoever, and even the tired old cliches of the genre are implemented very poorly. There's not even a built-in description of each writer or anything like that--it's bare minimum trying to pass itself off as something fun and unique, and failing utterly. As I said, the only value of the game lies in the humor of the concept, and you can get that for free, by watching the trailer. I got this at a steep discount, and I STILL want my four bucks back.

Bought and requested a return. I really like the idea and theme of this game, but I just can't get the controls to work. Some of my attacks were assigned to the dpad while others were set to the face buttons. Movement was analog only, as was navigating the menu. Could not set options as hitting up or down on the analog stick also seemed to randomly change the option I moved to and then wouldn't let me alter it without hitting up or down to go to the next option context. On top of that, the attacks are worse than those in jank 90's niche fighters. I couldn't even suggest this for a mystery game tournament entry. Just not good.

I just love this kind of nonsense fighting game. In one round Charles Dickens throws out a human sized Christmas tree at Cao Xueqin, who easily leaped over and made a kamehameha. In another round, Hemingway is half naked being a bullfighter, Shakespear swings a sword at him and won. History class could be fun. I only wish there's AI vs AI so I could just sit and watch the entire history go wrong without lifting a finger.

This is barely functional lacking key config, good controller support, a tutorial, or a variety of typical game experiences. The actual play is very poorly implemented and despite my love of bad fighting games (kusoge) I couldn't find anything to enjoy here. I would refund if I had played it in the first two weeks after I bought it, oh well let my mistake be helpful to you.

Tried to play this with a friend and it was hell.

Note: I played vs AI and not PvP. This is a really fun concept for a game and it has some genuinely surprising and hilarious moments, but it could use some polish. The author selection felt very limited and I would have liked to see Mary Shelley or Jane Austen on the roster. I played on PC with a controller and didn’t see any kind of tutorial for the controller layout (if it mimics an older fighting game like Mortal Kombat, I just don’t know it). I ended up just mashing buttons but it didn’t feel like I saw consistent actions happening except for kick and block. I did have a good time but I also don’t see this as something I would play again and again once the novelty wears off. I may revisit if the devs add content in the future.
