Free Play

Toribash is a interesting little fighting game.
Question 1
 was the game fun?
It was ok I would not classify this game as fun or not fun it was extremely challenging and I found it hard to grasp the basic tools to do anything worthwhile. But for some strange reason I want to keep trying which is very frustrating at times cause you keep failing. You fail a lot multiple times and its just hard. you do not get a lot of instructions at first so it is kind of tough. But they do have a fight training which is cool it teaches you.
Question 2
Does the game have replay value?
Yes it does I did not hate the game and it is a very open game to begin with and there is a lot of possibilities for moves and just fun. The open concept of the moves is what makes it have such a good replay value. Many fighting games give what feels like a set of  simple moves that can be chained together to make new stuff but this game moves each section of body so that you can make your own.
Question 3
Story or game play driven?
The game is game play driven. There is no story to this game it is just fight this person and that's that. the game just is simple and fun it is not supposed to be a story kind of fighting game.
Question 4
Presentation?
The game is presented well the graphics are pretty cool. The games graphics are different there is nothing that special but they are very cool simple feel the camera can be rotated around the player 360 degrees so its completely 3d so it is very cool. The game is graphic with blood and what not and the blood has the big dots kind of like a lego feel.
Question 5
The controls?
Well the games controls are clicking the mouse. But the clicking and pointing just is to simple for the complexity of the game. There is a lot of things that can take place with just one click and it is hard to really grasp everything in the little simple clicks and movement. The game seems more complicated even with just using the clicks at first. But as you play it gets easier and makes it seem fluid but i do not know if it is because I am used to it or it really is.
Question 6
special features?
The special features are multiplayer which is cool as it adds like a cool concept to the fighting style. I if did not play but when you do you have to really think a lot for your next move and try and counter someone else's. Then there is the shop where you can customize your character and that is really cool it you get money from beating people online and what not so it is something i did not get to use.
Question 7
Change one mechanic?
Well if I could change one mechanic id change the ability to have like preset moves like jump and simple not combat moves. this would make things a little easier to actually do moves and stuff. Which is my main complaint about this game. Changing this would make this game a little more simple to play and in my mind fun.
Question 8
I'd give this game a 7 out of 10 shenanigans. This is I feel that the game could be a little easier to just pick up and play. The game needs better rules to make it a lot more accessible to everyone.   I do not think it is horrible so I do like it.
