Ludosity Interactive brings us its own Smash featuring Nickelodeon’s most iconic characters
Nintendo with his Smash Bros “almost” I create a genre, or rather a sub-genre itself. The one that broke away from fighting games, and endowed it with fierce fighting meant not only to fight, that is, there were elements on the screen that made us aware of other factors besides distribution toñinas.
Platforms on which to jump, elements to activate, everything is possible to knock down your opponent. And within this formula refined since its first appearance in Nintendo 64, there was a very special roster of fighters made up of the most beloved stars from their main video games. Summary in a nutshell, fun, and in a few, a fighting Mario Kart.
Well, it makes sense that if something works, others will want to do a similar approach. I have already tried, for example, Sony with its PlayStation All Star, but getting the results from Nintendo is very difficult. However, this time of Ludosity Interactive They also wanted to challenge this sub-genre, and they did so with a title that sports a unique and exciting background, and which hides great potential. We are talking about Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, with a roster of fighters made up of some of the biggest stars iconic Nickelodeon shows.
This poster, a priori, is attractive enough to attract attention, but behind this celebrity facade, what is hiding? We will find out who distributes pineapples under the sea.
Always better with friends
At Nickelodeon All Star Brawl we will not find a plot no reasons to strike, just fun. Focusing on the game modes and extras, these are enough short and insufficient. As a result, we have a Arcade mode, like in any fighting game, but quite bland. And after, online or local combat modes, where is the crumb. And unfortunately a little more, in addition to a extras section with drawings, sketches and music from the game. We will surely start seeing more interesting tournaments and online events soon.
In battles we can change some of the rules of the game, as well as choosing up to a total of four fighters On the screen. The real fun is playing with friends, how could it be otherwise, both online as local.
In that sense, the storyline design is somewhat spotty, with some more cautious than others, and death traps in their design that will greatly speed up games. At least the 20 scenarios we have are pretty, colorful and represented in a very funny way, pay attention to the kitchen.
Playable cakes
We are not faced with a complex fighting game, where our character has lots of combos and movements, and which can focus on a competitive scene such as street fighter. In Nickelodeon All Star Brawl we have a smaller number of them, and certainly easier to use, although they can also be linked to perform somewhat more elaborate combos. We will do almost everything by mixing strokes with the direction of our Joystick, using a lighter hit, a stronger and a heavier one, and finally the special abilities, different depending on the character. We will be able to consult the movements of the twenty selectable characters in the gallery, and learn how they are made.
Our goal will be remove the opponent from the screen reduce his three health cores to 0. However, this It can be changed by setting the games per hour or per sport. In the latter, whoever scores the most goals will win, an idea that gives a little more life to play something different.
With the blows we take percentage of life on the contrary, it can also kill it. But here, the one who does the most damage is not rewarded, but the one who is most adept at deceiving the rival and succeeding in expelling him from the game, especially the greatest number of participants. The best tactic will be know your character and be skillful and quick while moving on the stage.
Remember that before you fall you can always try to catch up or use a button with which you can, in a crazy way, fly for a few moments and get to safety. Trying to stalk your opponent when they are trying to get to safety and throw them off the stage is the best trick. And, of course, it would be even more fun if the level design was a bit more elaborate, with more elements that add more dynamism.
contrary to Smash, here everything is faster and more frantic. In addition, we can cover, block and double jump, and a few other things you should find out as you practice. All this to give more depth to the fights, but resulting both simple and intuitive for all audiences.
A madhouse, but in silence
Graphically and technically, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl it’s a very creditworthy title. At Xbox one x where we analyzed the game it is running no problems or glitches, no slowdowns or jerks
In the the online gaming experience is very solid. So much so that we will have the impression that the rest of the players are sitting next to us. Even in this regard, you can get more satisfaction than in the established Nintendo franchise.
In the the sound aspect are the biggest drawbacks. It seems to us a big error not including the characteristic and original voices of the characters. It would have given the fighters more personality, and it would have been a huge advantage for the player to be able to enjoy the original voices on screen.
The the melodies that accompany the action are generic and get somewhat boring in the long term, and they are not directly linked to the characters in the game. Neither are the sound effects of the best vintage. However, the development studio has left the door open to work on it, so we hope that a future will eventually be possible.
conclusion
Nickelodeon All Star BrawIt’s a title with good wickerwork to entertain and dazzle many players, especially fans of the Nickelodeon shows. However, Interactive Ludosity It has a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of content, which is rare especially in terms of game modes. Too bad the sound plot does not have the original voices of such emblematic characters. If you want to have a good time in fun online multiplayer, or with your friends when they get home, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is an option to consider.
