Super Crush KO

Super Crush KO is an incredibly fun, if short and easy, character action game. It’s as ridiculous and over the top as its contemporaries. Combat has a lot of depth, while remaining simple enough for beginners to pick up or veterans to enjoy.

"Dense and tense" is how I would characterize this game. Not dense because of the amount of content in the game (there really isn't too much), but by how much is happening on screen for the player to keep track of. It is tense not in story stakes or in-game punishment, but because of that internal desire to plan around these chaotic situations to avoid getting hit even just once. It is a smooth experience overall, with some nuanced gameplay wrinkles that resulted in some exasperation.

Super Crush KO is good clean, robot-bashing fun. With easy controls and gradually increased difficulty, it's a great way to get into the genre.

While Super Crush KO isn’t perfect, it’s hard to play without a smile on your face. Brawlers aren’t usually my cup of tea, but this title is smooth, exciting, fun and a real joy to play. And it really fits perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. With a few tweaks to allow players to up the difficulty, I have no doubt that Super Crush KO will attract a passionate band of followers.

I’m not overly seasoned in brawlers. I’ve played a few (Scott Pilgrim vs The World, a bit of Bayonetta and even that 1991 The Simpsons arcade game) and I was never able to master them, but I always had fun. So when a pretty, pastel coloured indie by the name of Super Crush KO was presented to me, I knew I had to jump in.

I first played Super Crush KO as a demo at E3 2019, a small game tucked away on the show floor. It impressed me with its fluid controls, so I kept it in mind fo

A one-hit wonder.
