Today, during the celebrations for EVO 2022, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh was on stage to deliver news.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "MultiVersus is by no means irredeemable; there’s potential here for a competent Smash-like fighter and real effort to be found in elements like the characters and stages, but this is its second shot at living up to that potential and it seems to have actually taken more steps backward than forward. If you feel a great need to try out the cross-over madness for yourself then there’s some fun to be had dicking around for a few hours, but it’s hard to recommend it as a title for anyone to invest actual amounts of time in, much less money."
The characters in rotation at any time is so small that you just end up fighting the same ones over and over.
It's whack that they shut down the game for a year, and the pool of characters is still so small, they slowed down the gameplay so much that everything feels so clunky and unresponsive, rank is locked for some reason, costumes can't be grinded to be purchased for free, there are infact 4 different forms of currency which make up most of what can be earned for playing the game, arenas are unimaginative and bland STILL, music sounds like calm overworld music you'd hear in a KH game, rifts take forever to complete, the mini games in rifts are taken from straight Smash Bros but somehow they're worse, and the season pass which is free for everyone has some horrible rewards. Smash Bros still king, and i don't even own or play Smash Bros.
Worst Smash clone I've ever played. The only reason they shut it down was because they needed to make enough content to sell as a live service game.
Messed the game up so bad. It's so slow inputs feel laggy m. Bunch of mat hes so far where either people just soft quit or the game becomes desyncd. Thinking the latter due to how often
After a long period of waiting, MultiVersus is in a great state in 2024, making it the best and only fighting game you should play.
Here is a look at The Joker and Jason in action for Multiversus as they take on some classic characters.
None of that matters if a large group of people still can't even play the game.
WB should throw in Silverhawks, Thundercats, and Mike Tyson's Mysteries to the roster would be great to play as Pigeon.
I don't usually enjoy platform fighters but this game has been okay so far. I don't like that the main focus is 2v2 though. Fine for offline play but has been an absolute chore for online play. There isn't a netcode good enough to support 4 different connections at the same time in a game like this, especially when the majority are on wifi. However, 1v1 performs fairly well and I can say I've only experienced 3 unplayable laggy matches out of roughly 100 matches in total. 2v2 is a straight up nightmare and I hope improvements are on the way.
