There’s also a stage where you have to jump between two different 18-wheelers. Another level has you slip and sliding on ice, trying to make it to the only solid ground in the form of a buoy that not everyone can fit on. One stage has you fighting in a factory with a giant incinerator at the bottom. They all happen pretty much in places where people shouldn’t be stumbling around. These fighters definitely don’t pick regulation style arenas either. You’ll probably end up laughing at yourself/each other instead of trying to win a match. But your friend who kicks your butt in Street Fighter with Ryu will have an equally hard time. They’re slow, sluggish, and more times than not, they don’t do what you want them to do. Mushy is probably a good word to describe them. However, the controls are mushy, and it makes the game fun. You can even save yourself if you’re lucky by grabbing walls and very awkwardly trying to climb up them. (Un)fortunately, it’s like the developers perfected the time it takes to figure out how to pick a person up and get halfway towards the edge, because the victim tends to wake up at the last second, usually bringing the assaulter down in the hell pit with them. Occasionally, a lucky (and it is pretty much 100% luck) punch in the head can knock a fighter out, making them stop squirming long enough for the other player to try and control themselves long enough to pick them up and toss them out of the ring. If this happens to sound hilarious, it is. The toddler comparison comes with the punches which really come across more like wimpy slaps.Ī typical match isn’t played out with well-timed punches, they’re usually won by one player grappling one and stumbling around the stage while the other player repeatedly tries to kick and punch their way out of their grasp while making mildly displeased sounds from the player themselves. Holding it down makes you flip backward like your legs gave out on you, with the same concept for the headbutt. Tapping B doesn’t really make you kick, so much as it does make you shimmy your foot at the ground. On a Steam Controller (or Xbox One), A is jump, B is kick, X is headbutt and Y is lift. One shoulder button punches with one arm, the other punches with the other arm. The controls are intuitive, but that doesn’t make them easy. But that isn’t a bad thing, it makes the game what it is. Usually, when you hear the phrase fighting game, you probably think of a game with precise controls, awesome combos, and cool characters. It’s a multiplayer 3D brawler where up to four friends can play together or against each other as silly, floppy fighters that fight like drunk toddlers. Gang Beasts has been on Steam Early Access for a few years now, but it just recently had a full release of consoles as well. ![]() Seriously, the game lets you choose from various costumed dumb guys that flail their arms, legs, and body at each other instead of having any sort of combat skills. What is Gang Beasts? It’s like if you filled wacky inflatable arm-flailing tube men full of mashed potatoes and made them fight.
