College Brawl

Video Post

This is a game produced by developer Ingenius Studios. It’s a beat em’ up game that uses what looks like an old school computer pixelated style as far as in game graphics are concerned. The CGs and other artwork however, all look like they were done in MS paint…so yeah… The gameplay is sub par at best. There are two possible characters to control, a very generic looking guy and a slightly less generic looking girl who is apparently that guy’s sister, as well as the poster girl on the game’s title screen. Beat the game as the guy, and you unlock the girl’s story. Playing as the guy, attacking feels like a chore and it’s almost impossible to inevitably be hit by endlessly spawning and charging enemies. The bosses attack hitbox easily out-ranges your own, and you’ll find yourself very heavily relying on your special meter and the retries that the game is actually quite generous with. That, and the somewhat neat and various in-game animations are the saving grace for this mode.

The girl’s side of the story which plays quite differently, should have been expanded upon way more in my opinion. In this mode, enemies are much easier to keep at bay, and there are health pick-ups in place of retries that are as abundant as the endlessly spawning enemies that drop them. Animations for the girl character are much smaller in quantity than those for the guy, however they are done just as well which is a definite plus. The last boss in her mode unfortunately, has no animations.

Overall this game is…on the precipice of being bad, but just manages to land on mediocre. If you care to, give it a try: http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/dlaf/=/link/work/aid/daffiliate/id/RE276037
