  5.5

  Super Comboman had the makings of a decent beat ‘em up, but due to some poor execution, large difficulty spikes, and a life system that forces players to replay the same level over and over again just because “I died one too many times” makes it a slight chore to play. For $15, there are other games in this same style that are better executed and are far less frustrating to play.

  3.0

  Super Comboman is severely flawed, but buried beneath controller-snapping frustration is a game that with some control tweaks, less lag, and some bug fixes could have been enjoyable. Sadly, in addition to its numerous deficiencies, it is riddled with annoying bugs that keep the camera from focusing on you or that prevent your character sprite from loading at all, though to the developer's credit, patches have been frequent.

  Super Comboman is a complex beast. Its rough technical edges and frustrating design oversights nearly drove me away, yet its silly humor and inviting visual style constantly pulled me back in. I eventually learned to love its unique albeit imperfect blend of fighting game and beat-‘em-up mechanics, but that meant overcoming (or overlooking) a disappointing abundance of flaws.

  It’s just a thing you do to hopefully finish the stage quickly and move on. Super Comboman is a beautiful game to look at and a solid outing overall, but it doesn’t quite deliver on everything its Kickstarter hyped up and isn’t a must-buy for anyone but brawler fans as a result.

  Really, I’m just disappointed. A fighting platformer could be really cool, and I went in with low expectations (which were then dashed).
