Platform fighters are definitely a niche genre, however they’re very popular. Having a new entry to an already established franchise pulling in less than 1k players concurrently on steam is very disheartening.

Gamemill who is the publisher of this game is known recently for being the publisher for the amazing (/s) Kong Skull Island game.

You may be saying, “hey well it’s crossplay so steam charts don’t represent the entire community” I can agree to a certain extent. The issue is that the previous gen ports (Switch, PS4, Xbox 1) all run like absolute dogshit. How you have a game that has less visual fidelity than Smash Ultimate, but run at 50% of the framerate on the console it is made for as well as consoles much more powerful than it is insane. One other thing, on PC cross play is not on by default. If you enable it and exit the game (or more often than not it crashes) you have to re enable cross play every single time you re open the game.

Save your money, and don’t even pick up this game on a sale because before it gets to that point it will already be dead.

If you want a nice single player game, and maybe messing around with your friends in LAN sure pick it up on sale. That being said paying 50$ for a game that is already dying a week after release is ridiculous.
