Now, the game is designed to be played co-op, but when I started I couldn\u2019t get a multiplayer game to save my life (but I\u2019ll come back to that). Having said that, playing alone afforded me the opportunity to explore alternative means to dispatching my foes, for example in each level there are traps, spinning blades and shooting darts, all of which you can use to your advantage to kill enemies. I found it quite satisfying to lead a conga line of undead jerks to a rotary blade, jump over it and then switch it on, sending bits of bastard everywhere.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-rhgym1zs86k6a467cd199410813656331\" style=\"max-width:810px;\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\">\n<span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 135 \/ 76\">\n<span class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.296296%\"><\/span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-rhgym1zs86k6a467cd199410813656331\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rhGym1ZS86k?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"456\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rhGym1ZS86k?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"810\"><\/iframe>\n\n<\/span>\n\n<\/span>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/nfornerds.com\\\/?page_id=4770#arve-youtube-rhgym1zs86k6a467cd199410813656331\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/rhGym1ZS86k?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><em>How it looked<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Super Dungeon Bros looks great, with brightly coloured characters and a variety of different enemies (which are colourful themselves), it really makes the most out of the unity engine. By keeping the game simple and cartoonish, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reactgames.com\/\">React Games<\/a> are able to deliver a stylised and all round good looking game.<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bros-N-For-Nerds.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image-4770]\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Issues<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>As I previously mentioned I have had one or two issues with the game since its launch, such as not being able to get a multiplayer match as no-one was online. Even when I tried to play the game with a friend online, the game won\u2019t let you play with less than four team members and it doesn\u2019t even have bots to substitute real people.<\/p>\n<p>The game also crashed numerous times in the single player campaign, forcing me to restart each bastarding time it did. All that could be forgiven if not for the fact the game is clearly not balanced for single player, it is quite difficult to progress far in the game even with the bonuses turned on.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bros-N-For-Nerds-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image-4770]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4776\" src=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bros-N-For-Nerds-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"bros-n-for-nerds\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bros-N-For-Nerds-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nfornerds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bros-N-For-Nerds-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em>What I enjoyed.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The gameplay all-in-all can be fun, clearing a dungeon of enemies and then offing the boss was very cathartic, and the use of puzzles and traps was a nice touch as well. Once I finally got a friend to sit down and play local multiplayer, it got a lot easier and more fun, and screaming at each other to \u201cstop spinning the blade\u201d or \u201cthat was my pick up you bastard\u201d brought back fond couch co-op memories from my childhood.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Opinion<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>My opinion on Super Dungeon Bros is mixed at best, there is definitely \u00a0some fun to be had with this game, it\u2019s just that it is offset by the amount of dicking around the player must do in order to reach that point. I feel the game was let down by launch day problems and balancing issues. As I understand, it came out free for Xbox live subscribers as a monthly game and if it were to come out free on PS Plus, then I would recommend, but as it is, it\u2019s simply not worth the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I got my review code for Super Dungeon bros last week and I have to admit so far I have been under whelmed.
