What players say
A nice little co-op beat 'em up. Not the best out there, but plays fine. The only complaint - it's too short.

I played this entirely on a whim with a friend and was blown away by the creative usage of mechanics. Combat is simple but frenetic, there's timed parries, dodges, easy to follow and understand objectives, creative usage of environments and enemy variety, not to mention the unique perspectives on puzzles to solve. The taunt button is your friend. The cheesy dialogue will be a hit or miss depending on your tastes...
It is mid and short. Can be finished in about 4 hours. Combine that with the price, I don't think so. Over all, 4/10.
