Review

MultiVersus offers a delightful dive into the realm of platform fighters, bringing together an eclectic mix of characters from various beloved franchises. Whether you're pairing Batman with Shaggy or Bugs Bunny with Arya Stark, the game tantalizes the imagination with its fantasy matchups. The core gameplay is engaging and makes for a fun co-op or head-to-head experience. Despite some balancing issues and a matchmaking system that occasionally feels unfair, the game stands out due to its accessible free-to-play model and the love and care evident in the character design and voice acting. Naturally, this places MultiVersus in serious competition with the likes of Super Smash Bros., although it might not yet have the same level of finesse.

Background information

MultiVersus, developed by Player First Games, is widely recognized as a solid entry into the platform fighter genre, with many reviewers praising its character roster and overall fun factor. Digital Chumps rated it 85, highlighting its welcoming atmosphere and potential. PLAY gave it an 80, appreciating the love put into character designs while noting unattractive monetization methods. TheGamer also awarded it an 80, optimistic about its future despite its rough beginnings. However, some critics, like JH_Money, scored it much lower, citing it felt too similar to other games and suffered from poor matchmaking dynamics.
