  1.0

  I would not suggest you buy Bounty Battle even if you want it. That’s how bad it is. As I have mentioned previously, it has nothing redeemable it’s a game where everything about it is mediocre except the cast of characters, which doesn’t matter at all because of the terrible execution of this game. This is one of the worst games I have ever played in my life.

  4.0

  The idea behind Bounty Battle was a good one, putting indie stars against each other to fight for the crown of a twisted universe, but the actual gameplay isn’t that appealing. The developers did a great job with the graphics and sound but the controls and how to control the game in general feels very lacking. If there would be some updates to fix some of the flaws and add a decent online function, Bounty Battle can become a real gem, but for now, it’s still covered in dirt.

  3.5

  Despite some bold self-promotion, “The ultimate indie fighting game,” this is not. Can I give Bounty Battle a slight recommendation for character diversity alone? No, I can’t. There are excessive issues through and through, including (but certainly not limited to) lack of fluency, gameplay variety, and depth. The shortage of entertainment means I won’t replay this one much, and at $24.99, you probably shouldn’t play it at all, unless a patch arrives.

  2.0

  Sadly, Bounty Battle plays about as well as it looks. The goal is to empty the health bar of your enemies, but character animations are so basic and stunted that it's near impossible to tell what's going on — especially during three or four player fights. The controls are responsive enough, but the release is riddled with stuttering issues on PS4 — combat just never feels smooth, and that's a nail in the coffin of any fighting game.

  4.5

  Bounty Battle appeals to the indie game lover with its expansive roster, but any half-interested fighting game player would tell you to stay away. A lack of modes and, more importantly, much fun in the gameplay department mean even the allure of the character list isn’t enough to save this title.

  3.0

  Bounty Battle is a disappointment from start to finish. It completely squanders a sincerely impressive character roster with a mixture of convoluted gameplay and poor technical performance. If you're looking for indie Smash Bros., you're better off grabbing the Undertale and Cuphead costumes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and making the Shovel Knight Assist Trophy the only item.
