Review of the game Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl

How to beat a cartoon?
Nintendo – The company, known for its controversial policy regarding games. There are dozens of memes about how they work with their audience, break the price tags and call lawyers to the room for any reason. However, millions of people love their quality products, which stably ensures them the opportunity to behave like that.
What is it for? The price tag of the game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2018 of release is considered one of the coolest pati-fiting, in which … few played. And if you look at the price tag of the game in the Nintendo online store, then the heart will be blood (in the retail by the way you will find a little cheaper).
How much BL#!?
Well. Nickelodeon saw how one Family-Friedly corporation earns millions in a hit game. And they decided to do the same.
Actually, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl fully copies the concept of an older brother. This is a multi -level fighting game with elements of the platformer, where you need to throw the opponent outside the arena, or to add so much that he will fall without strength.
For these purposes, you are offered a decent set of areas and characters. All of them are the intellectual property of Nickelodeon. So, on the list:
- Spongebob
- Patrick
- Sandy
- Avatar Aang
- Avatar of Corra
- Lincoln Laud
- Lucy Laud
- Leonardo
- Michelangelo
- April O’Neill
- Ren and Steampy
- Toastman
- Winter
- Kotopes
- Reptar
- Nigel Tornberry
- Helga on the old
- Danny Ghost
- Fool
And for sure there will be more newcomers later. There is no particular difference between the characters, but some control the enemy better at a distance, while others do a good job in close combat. However, it is felt that 3 factors are working here:
- Knowledge of the features of the arena;
- Assertiveness;
- Tactics. (Less often).
In general, the battles themselves are not felt balanced, there is no sensation of a clear verified shape. Including due to not particularly convenient management. It is especially pleasant to catch the dissonance in the 2D-fiting with a platforming when you find out that the arrow is up is not a jump.
You can’t sit down and just start playing, there is no ergonomics that almost any fighting can boast of, or Easy to Learn – Hard to Master. In any case, you will have to spend time on tutorials and other training in the game, where there is no Russian language even at the level of the text.
As a result, everything rolls into porridge, which, in theory, should cause fun, but in fact each player is confused, because it is not clear what and how to do. For a game that exhibits itself as friendly entertainment (up to 4 players in the arena) is a failure.
It rarely happens that everyone understands the principles of gameplay and can be controlled with characters. As a result, the buzz breaks off from scratch.
Arena is the funny thing that is here. They are colorful, authentic to their “universe”, do not repeat each other and are filled with a bunch of details. If you watched at least one Nickelodeon cartoon, you can easily name the main Easterns that the designers left.
But the characters' models came from the PS2 era.If Big Brother Mario makes juicy renders of heroes, who then sell in the form of toys, then here it is as if the Chinese kinder surprise from Auchan. Although purely nominally all the images are preserved, made colorfully, the heroes behave fervently, Patrick even has animations for memes.
Fingers drown in skate, kawabang
But ultimately this is not enough to get pleasure from the game in a long term. “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl” amuses in the first minutes the fact that you can take Cotops and fill the Helge's face on the Starty. But after literally half an hour, all the most cough combinations of cartoon scammers are tried, and you realize that there is nothing more to catch here.
