42 of 42 · most liked firstThis game is really rough around the edges, especially for its asking price. You pick one of four characters that look ripped straight from a D&D campaign and play through eight environments spread over multiple acts. But each act feels and looks exactly the same as the last with little going on. The characters are pretty forgetable, asides from Fenenc. And the dialogue I just find myself skipping over. Voice acting would have really spruced it up. Speaking of the only voice acting comes from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only played a short time but I already love this game! I really like that Saturday morning cartoon feeling with smash 'em brawler action. Can't wait to play more !!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game so far with a nice art style and a decent moveset. I'm about almost done with the first area so can't comment on length but it's an enjoyable enough beat 'em up. I would personally love if they added vibration to attacks themselves as that typically makes combat feel a lot better for me. Hope this team succeeds!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple fantasy beat' em up targeted at younger demographic. The game has Dungeons & Dragons-based Saturday morning cartoon feel both in design and humor. It's designed in very safe way and doesn't reinvent the wheel. "Basic" is a word how I'd describe it. Most likely a good starting point for anyone who has interest in the genre as a first-timer, but seasoned beat 'em up-fans probably won't find the game as inviting due to its simplicity. Also, this review is written from the single player…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun game I did the full Adventure solo with Ozlov, I liked using combos like Energy Slice and Backstab. The mix of 2D art in a 3D world looks good, the quality of the models and animations is great. This plays and feels like an indie game but at the same time multiple aspects have an AA or AAA quality to it, you can tell it was created by veterans of the game industry.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not into beat em up games. I don't know what it is but i've tried many; and I just cannot get into them. But this one? This one has caught me by surprise. I find myself coming back and playing it. There's something fun and different about it. Ill be revisiting it over the next few weeks to try and figure out what it is that makes me want to dive back in; but overall, its a really fun game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is extremely clunky, there's no keyboard control customization - and the default ones are horrid. Game lists 120 fps but plays like its on 30 FPS, there's absolutely nothing redeeming about it. Even the story breaks the 4th wall 15 minutes in in sad attempts of cheap humor. At one point an enemy stepped slightly to the right edge of the map such that my melee attacks would not hit it at all. Even the move list the game asks you to read shows wrong inputs on keyboard.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I played the demo a few months back, I was left with mixed feelings. The game looked gorgeous, but felt a bit sluggish. To my delight, getting the key for the full release today completely changed my mind. This is honestly one of the best beat ’em up games I’ve played since arcade halls went out of fashion. The game actually has a story, delivered with solid voice acting and a good sense of humor. The visuals are beautiful and detailed, and the variety of moves and playable characters…

unlabelledView post →I really wanted to give positive review but I cant. All positives are from people who did not play more than 5 hours. It is because game is bad. Hit boxes are very bad. You will not hit enemy when he is 1px lower or higher than you. I play archer and I can not hit enemy who is at from of me. When I am lucky and finally start hitting him... it is not a combo - he strikes back. So using bow as an archer is just pointless. I did not enjoy the fights and it is Beat'em up game. Big no no because of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! It reminds me of the old beat'em-ups, I used to play when I was younger. The art is beautiful and makes the game very unique. The gameplay is simple, which makes it easy to get a hold of the fighting mechanics. I'm really excited to see future updates of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, creative take on the side scroller with width/depth. Combat is fun and your character selection does impact strategy. Storyline and characters from the heroes of mount dragons books and board game we already love come to life in this action packed brawler :)

unlabelledView post →A solid beat-em up with each character having a slight variance to the other heroes, like one being an archer and another being a rogue, both can shoot, but the archer having a charge up, and the rogue having a multi throw. It plays well with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful beat em up. Can play solo or with friends. Love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers really put a lot of effort into this. The three of us played through the adventure. The only bug I noticed: If you're in the overworld and the level isn't fully loaded, then you press pause and exit the game, the game ends without an error message. What's also a bit odd is that I received an achievement for completing each level, while my teammates didn't. We also wondered why my save was at 0% after completing adventure mode, while my teammates had no save at all in adventure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most generic and clunky side scroller beat 'em ups you'll ever play. Gameplay trailer makes it look like it would be intriguing and polished, but in reality the actual experience is simply frustratingly clunky, boring and unfun after the first few moments. The sad reality is, if it had received more polish, balance and refinement, it could have been decent, but as it stands, this will not keep your attention for very long.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My kids love coop beat-em-ups, and this one looked promising. But unfortunately, I just don't think it's a good game. Endless dialogue, the story lost me when it broke the fourth wall for absolutely no reason, the balancing is very uneven between normal levels and bosses, and the little jumping that is required feels like a chore, not like an actual part of the game. It's a pity because we like the characters and their moves.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the moment you land as one of the dragon-bound Dragon-Souls in Heroes of Mount Dragon, it’s clear this game breathes heart. The hand-drawn 2D style brought to life in 3D is gorgeous, and transforming mid-battle into a dragon form is genuinely thrilling. Combat is accessible yet satisfying — combos flow well, dragon abilities bring fiery spectacle, and couch or online co-op up to four players is a riot. And let’s not forget the playful curses that’ll shrink or flip your co-op pals at the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enemies are too braindead to warrant any critical thought, RPG mechanics feel like an afterthought, story is really heavy on meta-jokes for no apparent reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When played in local co-op with kids / fans on the Mount Dragon books, the game can definitely have some good moments; my nephew loves turning into a dragon every time! If devs can hit their dev targets (There's still 3 heroes to be added as of right now), It could become one of the best options for couch co-op beat 'em up with kids on Steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent story with some humor. Good beat em up like golden axe. Could use a few spits of polish, but great overall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was amazing I enjoyed every minute of playing it. The game reminds me of an old arcade game like golden axe. There is a wonderful story and some comedy tossed in to keep you entertained for hours. I'm looking forward to the full release of this game and to see the other characters and their stories.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has been a great beat'em up so far - 2 areas done! The powers are great and fun to unlock. Becoming a dragon and blasting the ground with fire is awesome! One item I was unable to pick up, not sure if it is a bug.

unlabelledView post →Nice little side-scroller beat'em up. The blend of 2D art and 3D characters looks very good, even if it takes a little while to adapt to the mixed perspective. The 4 playable characters are very distinctive which is welcome change from other game in the genre where the characters share a lot of the same moves. Moving and fighting is fluid and satisfying, but attacking from range can sometime be a bit tough. Transforming into a dragon to blast off enemies is pretty rewarding, i never tired of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HMD feel like a nice nostalgic medieval beat them up with a saturday morning cartoon style and vibe. But unlike most beat them up the combat feel dynamic and reactive. Which is a big plus as i usually get tired of beat them up rather quick as many of them tend to be slow. The difficulty feel a bit on the easy side for a seasoned gamer but seem ok for my kids. So far we only played single player games since i have only one controller on my PC but i can't wait to get as least another one to try…
