    In some ways, this is a gem of a game, but it is also something I do not recommend. At first, I greatly enjoyed it. It is simple on the surface and complex underneath. It skips all the bloat of AAA games and cuts straight to the action. However, a whole host of bugs and poor design choices give this game a hard ceiling with progression. You can progress from being a beginner but you cannot master Roof Rage. Bugs, controller lag, poor design choices, and unbalanced characters ultimately dictate…

    Not the best 2D fighting game. The gameplay is okay. The menu is sort of broken. When you enter the character selection screen in multiplayer (online or local), you cannot go back to the main menu. Once characters are selected and you go to select a map, you cannot return to the character selection screen. Then, you can't return to the main menu without closing the game and relaunching it. My brothers and I had trouble with this, and discovered that you apparently can't have 3 players? fights…

    I've played 104 hours at the time of this review. The game has a fantastic AI with many different difficulty settings. You can pit yourself against the multiple AI's making it terribly unfair for you as they can just juggle you back and fourth between themselves. Local Multi works great, and mostly I play on the same team with my boys against the AI, or by myself against two random AI's on difficulty 5. The most popular other title that this reminds me of is Super Smash, though this combat is…

    Really great game for fans of Super Smash Bros. who want something a little more stripped-down and technical. Very fast, satisfying fighting with plenty of depth. The characters are blatant rip-offs, but in the best possible way.

    Roof Rage is a fantastic platform-fighter with quality gameplay that contends with the best of them! (i.e. Smash Bros., Brawlhalla, Rivals of Aether). Unfortunately, judging by the amount of Steam reviews, this game is tragically being slept on! :[ A unique element of this platform fighter is that the combatants can be eliminated by depleting a health bar and not just with ring-outs like most other games in this genre. Personally, I don't particularly care for this mechanic as I feel that it…

    says it works for up to 8 players locally but that is a lie. great game but annoying that the steam store page says that it does. maybe there is some janky fix for this but plenty of other local coop games have it disable xinput automatically

    Excellent game with very unique mechanics that set it apart from the rest of the platform fighters out there. Smooth, crisp sprite work and momentum-focused combat that makes everything feel satisfying. If I had to pick between all the platform fighters out there, Roof Rage would be a very close contender for #1. + The mix of HP and knockback based on remaining life is a very nice touch. + Combos feel consistent and effective, while still allowing proper DI mixups to escape them. + Momentum…

    Got this game in a bundle and was very surprised when i saw how good it is. The game has some similarities with smash but is actually pretty different, due to its combat. the combat is fast and feels very precise, Once in the air, every attack is like a "resource" and can only used once, until you land on the ground again or cling to a wall. Most of the aerial attacks can be used for recovery or stalling in the air, so recovering to the stage can always be mixed up. you also have a dash that…

    A very fast-paced Smash Bros. styled fighting game with tons of air mobility and the possibility of some disgusting combos. The general gameplay is great and pulling off combos or a prediction feels amazing, so on that alone I highly recommend it. That's...also pretty much everything, don't expect more from the game than the absolute core. The roster isn't huge but does the job with varied characters, similar with the stages. What should be mentioned is that there are bugs and a decent…

    You cannot put your game fully out and have your bots be as bad as they are. They just attack when a hit is guaranteed. ♥♥♥♥ the "FiNaL UnLockAble BosS" just jumps in the air and uses laser beam then jumps off the ledge. it feels really cheap and any chance on a combo on them is pure luck or really cheesy. Pretty gross for a full release

    In short If you like Street fighter and/or Super smash bros. you'll love this game. Its not hard to learn but its difficult to master. In long Roof Rage is a great game. The characters have interesting and varied mechanics and movesets that are sure to fit anyone's play style. You wont be using a lot of complicated special moves but combos are still possible and avoidable with parries, blocking, grabs and projectiles these different options complement the different win conditions this game…

    For a group of friends playing locally or via Steam's Remote Play together, this title offers some solid PvP matches and around 10 hours of fun learning the characters and experiencing the stages. However, the extremely bare bones modes on offer and the overall lack of polish throughout the package means that singleplayer fighting game fans or those looking for online competition should move on. Best with friends, I hope the developers continue to bring innovative fighting games to Steam, this…

    Game's fun. Combos and movement feel good, it's fun to play against a friend and explore all the cool ideas this game had. BUT This game has a lot of bugs and jank. Menus, hitboxes, multiplayer, CPUs, there's a lot that could kill your mood here. You have to have patience and want to play something cool that has flaws. For me it was worth it, probably not at full price though.

    This is one of the best and worst games I've ever played. It's so incredibly good when it works but a lot of times it just makes me want to punch a hole in the screen. Pros - The art style, even if simple, is quite good and I love all the little sprites for the fighters. - Each character has A LOT of moves and most of them are usually pretty fun and cool looking. - The floatiness of hit characters is both a pro and a con, it lets you make such satisfying and elaborate combos mid air…

    It's a good game. I actually had this on my wishlist. The controls are sophisticated enough and the gameplay itself is fun. A few issues though, first, no one plays this game. So it's local multiplayer only or arcade mode. Second, it's very easy to miss your enemy. Both you and them use an attack and you just straight up miss. With that said, what you see is what you get, it's neat.

    Overall the game is fantastic! I bought it to play with some friends via Remote Play and we think the fighters and stages are very well designed and varied, welcoming all types of players. If you’re looking for a 4 players brawler, then this is probably one of the best you will be able to find on Steam. However, as I said, only buy it if you don’t plan to play with more than 4 players, the trailer says “up to 8 players”, but this is not true. The game doesn’t support more than 4 controllers at…

    Did you like the look of this game?! I did. I do not recommend Roof Rage and here is why: The game play didn't do it for me. I absolutely love the pixel look of this game; I think this is RR greatest draw. The character set is a cheeky similacra of characters past with relatively smooth animations of fighting moves. However the fighting arenas aren't dynamic. Levels look rather thread bare with some levels having only one or two platforms to conduct your brutal savagery. Secondly, there are…
