“It's been a little while since we've played something with such responsive controls, the simplicity of the inputs combined with tight animation ensuring every move is a pleasure to make.”
“Karen's got some moves that would make Devil May Cry’s boy band jealous.”
“It's delivered in dreamy cocktail pinks and purples, [...] while the controls are wonderfully responsive and the battle arenas are nice and snug.”
“This is a frantic, fast, combo-driven combat platformer that is astoundingly accessible. [...] I really believe this game has one of the best difficulty curves I’ve ever encountered in the genre.”
“Super Crush KO is a sumptuous-looking game.”
“It was incredibly satisfying pulling off some slick combos against the evil robots.”
“[The story] unfolds in a funny and believable way through gorgeous comic book-style art that will stick with you even once you've completed the game.”
“Its tone is the polar opposite to a game like Contra, with pastels everywhere and a light, breezy tune for the background music, but its action promises to equal the arcade classics it draws inspiration from except more punchy, less shooty.”
“Vertex Pop has created an extraordinarily polished and refined combat experience that makes Super Crush KO an absolute joy to play.”
