Selected Articles

  • “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.”
