60 of 184 · most liked firstThe production of this game cost the Indoneasian's half of their annual government budget (about 2 USD). Just by taking a quick gander at the screenshots, you can tell the title took a heavy inspiration from the Yakuza franchise. The main protagonist really thinks he is Kiryu. The game being a blatant copy isn't even the biggest issue. Anything you can envision is just plain garbage. Wether that be the eye-watering graphics, jankiness, mundane fighting system, cringe-worthy story or the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the best game I've ever played, to be sure. In terms of gameplay, it's pretty average. The controls are a little janky, some mechanics are pretty janky, the animations are subpar, the graphics are very outdated, the voice acting is very amateurish and inconsistent, and the sound mixing is bad. So why do I still recommend it? Heart and soul. You can tell the devs really put their all into this. They wear their inspirations of Bully, Yakuza, and maybe even some Persona on their sleeves. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cringe-worthy dialogue written by a gen z. Fighting, one of the pillars of this game, is uninspired. Enemies hyper armor through your moves. Basically no variation other than light/heavy attacks and dodging or deflecting. It's trying to be a Souls game while being unsuccessful in any of it. It thrusts a moral screen about thanking those who bought it, while telling pirates they can ♥♥♥♥ off. Neither party cares about that screen, but the developer doesn't seem to care because they are…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FInished the game. It is an awful, repetitive, janky mess. Whoever wrote this story needs to stop writing. The level design is good, the locations look authentic and have a lot of character. The school NPC AI is very good. Most of the minigames are pretty bad, but there is a horror minigame that was excellent. It feels unsatisfying to play. The enemies are incredibly tanky, fights take 10+ minutes, and you have to fight a rematch against the same enemies multiple times. The main enemy you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You don't raise your gang or even recruit them you basically beat up other gangs and then get a job making third rate indy beat them up games like this one. At least they let you skip all the dialogue so you can get down to throwing down and there's a janky charm of seeing the tired old tropes play out in an Indonisian setting which at least I'm not familiar with. But the game can be easily be skipped altogether. The most tentative of thumb up I shall bestow since I did finish it. Also…

unlabelledView post →Heartbreaking, but I can't recommend it. It's clear there was a lot of love put into it but it's just too janky and busted. The actual fighting is tedious and really rough with clunkiness and lack of player feedback (I was making hits connect that were dealing 0 damage and have no idea why). The drawn artstyle is nice but the 3D models kinda look off. Music is good but not really varied enough so you end up hearing the same track multiple times. The list goes on with those kinds of issues. All…

unlabelledView post →Troublemaker - An Indonesian bootleg Yakuza I ultimately don't recommend playing Troublemaker, unless you have lots of free time on your hands, but I will leave a positive steam review out of respect for what a small Indonesian team managed to deliver. The good: Troublemaker oozes with personality and you can tell from the very first moment the menu theme song starts. The Indonesian setting, combined with the anime-like cutscenes, are spot on. It was really refreshing to hear the well…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is WAY too linear. You're stuck in the story basically the whole game. Very little times do you get to just walk around. And when given the chance, there is not much to do. I didn't find the mini-games fun and the non-story fights are barely existent. I've only had 2 regular fights the whole game. There are also so many times where I follow someone in the main story, just for them to get stuck or stand still and block my path. I had to reset the checkpoints too often because of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The negative reviews of this game are all right. If you want to know why, go read 'em. That being said, if you're into delinquent manga or manwha and Yakuza games, you won't be too upset. Yes, there's a lot of jank. Yes, Budi will be cursing every two seconds, and yes, the characters range from inconsistent and annoying to average in terms of two-dimensional writing. Yes, some of the minigames are downright unfair (bird minigame). The sound design in fights is so flat, it makes you feel like…

unlabelledView post →As an Indonesian player, this game feels very special to me. Troublemaker successfully brings Indonesian high school culture into a beat ’em up game, from the language, characters, humor, to the overall atmosphere. The local nuances are strong and relatable, which makes the experience unique compared to similar games. The combat system is fun and has a decent variety of combos, although sometimes it can feel a bit stiff and less responsive. The story is simple but enjoyable, especially if…

unlabelledView post →I have enough jank in my life, don't need more. Troublemaker feels like two different games smashed into on. A slice of life Indonesian school simulator visual novel and an Arkham-lite style beat'em up with over the top elements. I don't think this was a good combination.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, at first I considered leaving a negative review due to a number of issues I noticed, like the jarring artistic difference between the gameplay visuals and the official game art, or the voice acting, which, if you're not accustomed to the language or its amateur delivery, can come across as quite poor. These and other factors started to add up, creating a fairly negative impression. However, around the midway point, the game improves significantly. It begins to focus more on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can look past the jank and combat limitation, there is something truly special here. It's like a web series meets the yakuza games, well placed comedic bits, memes, and lots of heart and detail put into the environment. I started it for a laugh but ended up being kinda drawn to the characters and am really looking forward to how the sequel can evolve the gameplay.

unlabelledView post →Among the worst experiences I have ever had playing a video game. Absolutely pitiful in terms of amount of content/gameplay loop. It is basically a walking simulator with a few fight sequences thrown in. Not to mention the art style in the cutscenes is pretty off-putting and ugly (my opinion I know) but moreover the mixed presentation with that art style with the more realistic character models, alongside the dialogue that literally eludes me (I legit have no idea what anyone is talking about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The animations are very good. But it feels clunky and frustrating. I can't reduce the mouse camera sensitivity (it's way too high) and sometimes inputs don't execute unless you're standing at a standstill. Aside from that, it seems decent, but I don't think I will play it all the way through. Also, it needs some blood. I love a good fighting game that shows the damage you're actually dealing to the enemy. They don't become winded, they are locked onto you constantly and they don't do anything…

unlabelledView post →Troublemaker is a bold Indonesian game with a strong identity, but it’s definitely not for everyone, especially not for younger players. The game is filled with harsh slurs and nonstop cursing in Indonesian, and honestly, a lot of it feels unnecessary even if people say it’s “part of the theme.” The story revolves around a senior high school kid who wants to become a jagoan, someone feared and respected, but the way this is shown can be dangerous because it glorifies violence and ego. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Troublemaker is a spirited, messy, and unmistakably energetic brawler set in an Indonesian high school, developed by Gamecom Team and published by indie.io. At its core, the game follows Budi, a transfer student who quickly finds himself swept into a chaotic blend of school politics, gang rivalries, and the high-stakes “Raise Your Gang” tournament—an event that promises job prospects to whichever group rises to the top. It’s a coming-of-age story dipped in fistfights, teenage bravado, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was torn for a while as to whether to give this a Thumbs Up or a Thumbs Down. Troublemaker was a very good game and I enjoyed the short but fun experience. I'll go over both my positives and my negatives and hope you can make your own conclusion. The game was fun, the characters are unique and memorable (with Richard being my favorite). The dialogue is meta and well written for the most part, and I enjoyed the numerous easter eggs scattered throughout the game. The actual combat was fairly…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the Yakuza at home, this game is kinda fun. Story is just like a typical of shounen manga. My only complaint is the combat is kinda clunky and combat mechanic somehow can be exploited to the point even through you play at highest difficulty you won't have any trouble. Also "anjing, tai" is so overused. Overall this game is mid 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skip this one. Troublemaker is a messy, unpolished beat 'em up where the combat is the biggest problem. It feels janky and unresponsive, with inconsistent parrying, frustrating target switching, and repetitive enemy encounters that turn brawling into a tiresome slog. The plot and visuals are bland outside of the stylish 2D art,

unlabelledView post →The fighting is not satisfying, and there are many times where nothing happens when you try to counter. The cutscene dialogue is loud, even when turning the audio to the lowest setting, but at least you can skip it. The tutorial fight takes way too long, with the boss character at the end just fighting you again, this time with more health. And I personally don't really like the usage of both an anime artstyle mixed with realism. I'd prefer if they stuck with an anime style during the main…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, Sweet and a great message to boot. Fun fighting with some humorous 'Sick Moves' and a main cast that grow on you. There are a few bugs but nothing that will stop you from enjoying the game. Would love to see an animated short series for this.

I really enjoy the story of the game. the backstory and also their friendship. if you play Bully or Yakuza, you'll love it. Maybe the controls or animation little bit stiffy.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I have to describe the game, it would be one word, charming. If you hate the game, there's valid reasons for it. The combat is janky, the graphics is a mess, the minigames are bland, the models are way too different then in-game art, over-scaled are mostly in-store assests, the ui is clunky, the music is generic, and the stealth is absurdly broken and more to list. But I've never played something I can closely relate to. I'm a Malaysian, but most jokes and reference are something I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1st of all, the trailers are lying to you – there's no English audio track. If you thought I'll go to pros now, well, there aren't any. Graphics are what they are. Audio needs a serious rework from a proper sound engineer, or at least a normalisation pass. Story is the worst part. It's probably okay for Indonesian standards, but doesn't play well in western culture. It's touchy-feely, the main “hero” is an unlikeable narcissistic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and everything is told with a background voice of a…
