Multiversus Preview - IGN

IGN : Many games have tried to provide a legit alternative to Super Smash Brothers, but none have been able to come close to Smash’s level of mainstream popularity or broad mass appeal. Enter MultiVersus: A free-to-play crossover platform fighter that brings together the worlds of WB-owned properties like Looney Tunes, the DC Universe, Scooby-Doo, and Game of Thrones, just to name a few. That alone is enough to grab my attention, but the big question is whether MultiVersus will be able to hold its own with its core gameplay, progression mechanics, and free-to-play monetization plans.

Nobody is trying to provide a Smash killer while not being an exclusive, it doesn’t make sense.

Why would it need to be an exclusive to be a “killer” of something? Its not just 1st party devs who might want to make a competitor that overtakes a popular game

Because why would you want a Smash clone when you have Smash? There will be a lot of overlap, but this is an Xbox/Ps5 game, like Brawlhalla and the other clones.

Smash killer is a bloated word used for clicks. Call of Duty wasn’t killed by Battlefield 3 when that series modernised and game back for a console release, so why would a random AAA free to play mobile game on consoles hurt Smash? It’s like a minions movie trying to outpace a Pixar movie in terms of both box office and cultural relevance.

--Onilink--742d ago

That makes no sense… why would I want Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Soul Calibur, King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, etc when I already have Street Fighter? Because its a different game, with different characters and different takes on Smash mechanics.

Not to mention, what does any of that have to do with being an exclusive? This non exclusive game could end up being significantly better than an exclusive attempt (like PS Battle Royale),being exclusive or not has no relevance to the ability of the game and the devs to create a worthwhile competitor

Not everybody has or even likes Nintendo, and there's nothing wrong with choices. Not everything you like is liked by everyone, and vice-versa.

MultiVersus (PC) Review | VGChartz

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."
