positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why in the world this gem not received more love and attention from people?? you won't believe just how much good is this! please try it i'm sure you would be Hard the entire time . . .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a better version of brawlhalla for the boys
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fire! Plataform fighters with: -Fluid animations; -13 chars with a lot of diversity and depth; -EIGTH Players Local Coop Madness! (Or use Parsec to get 8 people online) -1vs1 online; -Legit aerial combos; -ROOFS!!!!!! AND THE ARCADE BOSS IS FREAKING CYBORG TAO PAI PAI!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fast paced, Smash Bros style beat em up. Great retro feel with pixel art and awesome chiptune soundtrack. Cool dev who responds to the community and answers questions. Worth the purchase.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sequel for Street Fighters: ROOF FIGHTERS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Survived a year of Quarantine playing on parsec with my friends - I highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Noooo you can't just kill me in one combo at full health!!!!" "Haha, Pakaw smash >:)"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is great, because the game is good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way better than Smash. pretty fun fighting game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely amazing , i hope it keeps getting updated , seeing new characters would be phenomenal. Looking forward to updates impatiently. (there is a discord for it if anyone wants to find opponents easily and play)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thought it would be a quick 10 minute time killer, but it turned out to be more than that. The combat has surprising depth, and you can even interact with the environment, though it is really limited. I really enjoyed it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game play is surprisingly smooth. If you like platform fighters, you should give it a try. This game has a lot of potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mods would be a great feature.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and addictive. Wish there were more characters in the roster.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game only supports 4 local controllers, not 8 as the game misleading description suggests.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the best platform fighters. really having a blast playing this game online is limited to two people, so play with remote play up to 4 people. sadly it has a few bugs and development is discontinued
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pro : - Easy to pick up and play if you're used to smash (and smash clones) - Music is nice -Wide cast of characters that have unique abilities - Very mobile -Colorful Con : - No story in arcade mode - Dead Game ( meaning play for yourself or with others locally ) - Sometimes slows framerate slightly but is still playable Playtime: 12 hours (1 hour per character to complete arcade mode with each) Final Verdict : 7 out of 10 " Good pick up and play game between those waiting times to get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't work with more then 2 players? Very wonky menu. The game itself is very good tho.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad little indie title. It has all the charm of a martial arts showdown, the characters are well balanced although could use a few more perhaps unlockable characters. All in all its worth a 'buy'
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really fun and simple to pick up and play but has enough depth to give it a lot of replayability.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, one of the best party fighting games I have ever played.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just as good as it looks (It's fun pixel art combat on rooftops). I have nothing bad to say about this game, and I usually leave negative reviews.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hidden gem in my library. If you're looking for a CHALLENGING platform fighter, this it! I find myself playing for hours per session and coming back for more. Solid retro feel with an awesome soundtrack, cool characters to pick from and just an overall fun and challenging time that keeps you coming back!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny 10mn. Better to play with friends I believe.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →gets boring VERY VERY FAST
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hmmmmmMMMmmmM yes the roof is made of roof --- but that's aside it's pretty much like rivals of aether
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TERRIBLE ONLINE. ♥♥♥♥♥ SOME GOARBAGE.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfectly paced retro platform brawler with great music and juicy soundFX. Offline: Stock Match ( local PvP ) Score Match ( local PvP points race ) Team Match ( MPvE ) No experience in Online performance except RemotePlayTogether with rubberbanding issues but there is always a Discord Community you can join. + successful 4 Player Couch Coop test + minimal gamepad2screen latency, unlike smash bros, which always put me off + great variety of characters and martial arts, many…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Distinct fighting styles. Make sure to check out each character's combos individually. A large portion of the combat takes place in the air. the final boss truly interesting and engaging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no reasonably achievable way to play 8 player local
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like smash bros, i like roof, i like this game buy it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is fun i forgot i have dementia
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The variety and action that this brings with friends is unmatched one of the favorites for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great mobility, beautiful stages, interesting characters and and an all around great platform fighter. I feel like I'm flying getting around the stage while trying to dodge attacks. The street fighter references are actually really well made for the format. I can't recommend enough for people that might wanna play this with friends or family.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why does it feel like the controls are super slow responsive?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is overall average it has bugs but that's not the case.. This game is made for f**king spammers. If you choose hoon and perform the base Special attack you will always win.My friend is a retar*** mother***king spammer and my hands are shaking so bad. normally I'm a calm person but this game and my friend sh*ttalking kinda made me fu**king insane I recommend this game if you are a spammer otherwise you will wanna kill your friend or bury him alive. I HATE IT
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice pixel graphics Play with your friend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fighting is solid and fun, a good game overall but with a lot of things that need fixing, some minor glitches with the menus and score screens, some non frequent crashes now and then, etc. PD: You can change the skin color of the character in the selection screen with the Taunt button, after selecting it (need to reassign in Gamepad config)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome little game, reminds me of the old school 2D fighting games from the Nintendo and SNES era. I played with the character who's basically Sagat against the AI and it was really fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please buy this game and add me and let's play some matches online. It's so fun. I just want an online scene.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so fun ! It takes good parts of Smash Bros and from other fighting game, pour some movie reference and samourai kitch in the mix and manage to be pure fun
