pk but you could not hit from behind
Reviews for "Ultimate Arena Extreme"
if you were going for a smash bros. style of game, you missed your mark. Each game in that series was about controlling parts of the map using your special attacks. You have to be strategic and lay down moves that have a large effect on the field of play and either trick or force your enemy into that attack. It's not as much about bashing knuckles as you might believe. Anything that would allow characters to play with a strategy that wasn't "charge forward and punch a lot" would have made this game a ton better. What's really sad is that there are plenty of ways to include something like this, ranging from simple item drops to what could become a fairly robust character editor with randomly generated enemies.
Graphically, Musically, and Aesthetically, this game is quite polished. The gameplay is bug free and the UI is fitting, but there's ultimately not much depth to this game, and that disappoints me greatly, and I'm certain I speak for many gamers
Anybody who liked this game and thought it was lacking something should play the real super smash Bros. See this game takes the basic mechanic of super smash bros. but lacks all the things that make that game a classic. Memorable characters, cool and diverse skill sets, cool and diverse power-ups, fast and furious gameplay, Deceptively simple controls that give the ability to forever develop new strategies and techniques. Those are the things that make SSB great and those are the things this game misses out on. I mean Graphically it's fine, it's easy to control but that's only because there are barely any controls to remember, the gameplay is boring and repetitive. The only reason it gets more than one star is because it reminded me of how much I love SSB, and now if you'll excuse me I have to go find my N64.
Button mashing and using a shield every few seconds... thats all it is. No items. No unique atmosphere about it. The character customization is generic and the moves are just repetitive. I'd give it a third star if it at least had some good graphics to enhance the feeling. I'm sorry but 2 stars for effort and thats it.
The music is nice, but I find the character design to be lacking and uninmaginative. The gameplay isn't really good, and the scarcity of combos and the luck based nature of the game is very annoying. It really seems a bare-bones version of Super Smash Bros, made even worse by the fact that the characters are basically all the same, using the same attacks and so on.
The Developer should have tried to add more things, like weapons or different character types.
It has some potential, but I find it to be very lacking and really not "Extreme"
2 Stars.
