    Great game to play with friends. It's worth 0.00$ that I spent on it. Free on Fanatical. Nobody will read my review so I Will Eat 1 Tablespoon of ketchup For Every Like this gets.

    Doodle blob pvp with physics. You play a blob, fighting another blob and trying to smack them around with a stick. It was fun for a few minutes and I suppose if you have friends and don't own any other games you could make this work. But any fun you're having is from hanging out with your friends, not because the game did anything really interesting. Maybe I'm just spoiled from having seen these types of games for free for years before flash game sites went extinct that I just can't recommend…

    Its a fun little game, but I dont like the DLC policy. The game plus all Characters now costs 15 € and content wise, that is a horrible deal. You can get amazing games with dozens hour of unique content for 15 €. In comparison, this game simply feels like a cash grab now.

    This game should be way waaaay more popular than it is, but there are downsides for example having to pay for each different dlc pack that unlocks 3 or 4 other characters for you. I feel that if you paid for the game the characters should all be free otherwise it should just be a free to play game and the only thing to pay for would be cosmetics that aren't pay to win just for appearances ie cosmetic reasons nothing else. Truly wish much more people play this game I'm tired of destroying bots…

    The weird ink-blot art style and goofy ragdoll physics make for a hilarious first twenty minutes, but the novelty fades fast. Combat is all about swinging weapons using momentum, which ends up feeling more like you're fighting the janky controls rather than outsmarting your opponent. There’s barely any content here, the characters are wildly unbalanced, and the online mode is a ghost town. It’s funny for a quick laugh with a buddy, but that’s about it.

    Ironically, it's a fine physics based brawler for an evening. But for the base price you only get 8 poorly drawn sprites and every other line of poorly drawn sprites is another buck on top. Thus the final price for the product is way too high for what it is. Dead or Alive monetization approach is cancer. At least it has a demo.

    I'm not really a fan. This seems like a good idea, but I'm not sold on the execution. The game itself feels bland and monotonous, with some sound effects dotted around to accompany you. The controls feel flimsy and awkward (gamepad, don't bother with a keyboard, they've recommended it for a reason), and dull. You're acutely aware that you're swinging one stick around. 6 characters included, the rest are DLC. Not sure how I feel about the ratio there, but the differences don't do much for me…

    Wanba Warriors presents itself as a straightforward game initially, yet delves into complexity upon deeper exploration, offering a PvP encounter that proves highly addictive. It's undeniably a must-have, particularly for enthusiasts of this genre. While the absence of a 2v2 mode or ranked matches may disappoint some, it's important to recognize the constraints of an indie game. Nonetheless, the 1v1 combat and inclusion of bots remain compelling and engrossing for extended play sessions.

    I got this for free off Fanatical and I still want my money back. "Wanba Warriors" is a simple handheld ported (Nintendo Switch) fighter/versus game with a simple gimmick, it uses clunky physics as the core combat element. You have a comically large weapon and must spin it around slowly, lifting it (or having it lift you) while you try to smack it into your opponent. Despite being an objectively terrible game, it went viral, mostly because it's "so bad it's good", but I'll never recommend…

    Wanba warriors is an action packed fighting game with interesting mechanics which make for a funny experience. my favourite character is the ninja because he is stealthy just like how i want to be when im in public due to my anxiety that everyone is watching me, which makes me very nervous and shaky and it reminds me of before the divorce when my wife was relying on me to make ends meet... I really enjoyed the variety of moves in this game. DO NOT BUY CHARACTER PACK 3 AS IT IS THE WORST AND…

    Yeah, what can I describe here, fierce ♥♥♥♥ There is online, but even with it it’s a failure, to be honest, I don’t even know how this game got such a huge fandom Okay, how can I describe it more accurately, firstly, it’s just a fight with 2x2 characters and no more, which lasts at most 2 minutes, I didn’t feel any interest in it, no matter how hard I tried. There are no strikes as such, if you get into motion - cool, if not - sucker, there is a special strike on F and ults on G, it all…

    Great game, very fun Edit: This is the best fighting game, better than MK, better than Smash, better than Tekken, Wanba is the only way Edit 2: The balance of characters is great, all characters are very good, fun to play, and competitive. The game is pretty easy to learn quick aswell. Radish is awful tho, only bad character, just all around useless

    Very fun fighting game to coutch play versus friends, but it has predatory monetisation for DLC character packs. Base game offers only like 5 playable characters, and than you need to pay 5x ~3€ for bundles of ~4 characters to unlock all characters.

The multiplayer is kinda dead, the discord server kinda as well, though I'm sure if you look long enough you will find someone to play with, but that's the problem.

    Wanba Warriors is an unconventional multiplayer arena fighter developed by Wanba Studio and BigYu and published by Wanba Studio. Rather than following the traditional path of competitive fighting games filled with complex combos and technical mechanics, it embraces a more chaotic and lighthearted approach. The game's central concept revolves around warriors wielding oversized brushes as weapons, transforming every battle into a humorous spectacle where timing, positioning, and a bit of luck can…
