A Few Fast Matches turns the combo-filled vitality of stick determine throwdowns right into a platform fighter for as much as 4 combatants.

I'm not positive I need to know what number of hours my buddies and I spent watching stick figures duke it out in essentially the most elaborate fights I’ve ever seen put to video. The creativity that went into these movies is unreal and I solely hope that the oldsters who made them went into combat choreography ultimately. That proud custom of constructing stick figures stomp one another continues as we speak (this one involving battles with math is unbelievable), however this time you’ll be the one deciding how the combat goes with your mates.

There are three obtainable fighters – a fighter with a sword, a wizard, and an archer (with one other character on the way in which). Which may sound lean, however these characters supply a big selection of acrobatic strikes that naturally mortgage themselves to freeform combos (though I’m positive there are optimum ones I’m lacking out on). It feels downright pure to go from one hit into one other (most hits will be cancelled into air dashes for utter nonsense combos), pursuing your opponent with sword swipes and stabs or magical blasts that preserve knocking them ever-closer to the pits on the aspect. And just like the stick determine combat movies, all of it look so clean and sharp that you just’re undoubtedly going to need to play along with your buddies simply so you may have an viewers for the belongings you do.

A Few Fast Matches gives some nice, deep combo-based platform preventing both on-line (with rollback!) or with individuals in individual. I nonetheless really feel like these flashy, spectacular combos and turnabouts demand an viewers of mates in your house to cheer and scream, however nevertheless you may play it, it's good to seize this fighter.

A Few Fast Matches is obtainable now on Steam.
