What it is

Action-adventure beat-'em-up with over-the-top combat and combo-based fighting. It's about fighting your way up the social ladder in high school.

The catch

Combat is janky and unresponsive, with counters and hits that often fail to register.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 87% positive, but with 1,131 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
