The verdict
A fast, gory, faithful Madness Combat brawler with great music, many weapons, Arena mode and mods. Skip it if you want online co-op, good controller support or smart AI teammates.
Great for
Madness Combat fans who want chaotic, gory brawling, a roguelite Arena mode and Workshop mods
Main risk
Clunky controls, dumb AI teammates and repetitive gameplay, especially if you're not a Madness Combat fan
