    I have given this game a great big zero. Mainly because of what it represents. It represents the decline in human intelligence. The mass de-evolution of human beings! The collective of moronic sheep currently populating the planet, social media and the internet.

    What? You may ask. Seriously? How does a simple mobile game represent the stupidity in the world and the down fall of man?    I have given this game a great big zero. Mainly because of what it represents. It represents the decline in human intelligence. The mass de-evolution of human beings! The collective of moronic sheep currently populating the planet, social media and the internet.

    What? You may ask. Seriously? How does a simple mobile game represent the stupidity in the world and the down fall of man?

    Well let me explain. Pewdiepie, the main character in the game is an obnoxious Youtuber who has risen to popularity due to his hordes of ever growing brain dead fans. He is a man who simply shouts and squeals loudly while playing video games and people seem to actually lap this up. Not out of irony or anything like that, no they actually find him funny.

    His insane posse of fans aggressively defend him as if he's the messiah. Yet I have not seen one video where he has deviated from his predictable shouty, squealy style which often ruins games. His fans are not gamers. They are people who want to be part of the culture for the fashion, kind of like what weeaboos are to Anime.

    His fans know nothing about games and started playing on consoles like the wii or xbox 360. These kids are groomed into liking him due to his 'epic bro fist' which is either a very creepy sexual move or a way to greet someone, I'm not entirely sure.

    Like hordes of zombies tweens around the world actually touch the screen with their fist as if they are really interacting with this drooling buffoon and make strange laser gun noises 'pewds pewds pewds'.

    It's almost like an odd brainwashing cult, led by this strange idiotic screaming man.

    So now he is cashing in on his herd of sheep and released a game ripping off every better retro game before it , which his tween fans will never have heard of. But will think is super cool, while wearing their T-shirts with images of 80's cassettes on them (which they've never seen either).

    And they indeed are buying it, and indeed rating it 10 out of 10.

    I'm merely trying to add balance to the world and rating it zero to stop the planet from imploding with stupidity.

    So maybe a butterfly effect will start and even reverse a few of these moronic minds who completely misunderstand comedy like Monty Python but laugh at 7 second vines of good looking people shouting random things or sharing the same memes over and over again!!!!

    Maybe, just maybe this zero rating will make just one of them think, so they stop watching and buying into this drivel and become a doctor, so in the future there may be hope for saving mankind from this terrible fate!!!!    … Expand

    I give it a 4. Despite the great retro graphics and an amazing storyline, the game is foiled by the controls and the so called "Pug Mode", which is basically Outerminds' attempt to rip off Screwattack to brag about who can make the most difficult game ever (equivalent to AVGNA's Yolo Mode: one life, nothing else).

    The controls are hypersensible on the Jet Fighter level, making it almost impossible to complete on Pug or even Bro Mode.

    Bosses have no checkpoints.

    If you're looking for a game to have fun, don't buy this one, trust me. You will only get rage.    … Expand

    Good, game if you're a fan of PewDiePie. I adore the pixel art exists in this game. But, after all, this game is too short, come on, you gotta admit it. In the end, i don't recommend buying this game.

    Once you get used to the controls, this game can have some fun challenges in store, especially with the survival challenges on the "bro" difficulty. The "get to a place" levels weren't very fun, but I pored hours into the first LEVEL on that difficulty with enemy variety.
    Just turn up the difficulty if you don't like the game.

    The game is really good specially the graphics of the game but story kinda sucks they need to make a very good story instead of barrels instead of more characters they need to make the game bigger it's even hard in easy difficulty so don't buy that ****

    I do believe that the game is a bit too hard during some levels, even when it is on easy mode--but it was never so hard that it made me want to quit playing it. I wish that the game was a bit longer... I hope that they add some DLC later on because it would really make the game better.    … Expand

    The retro style, the smooth movement and gameplay, the references and lovable voice actors, and the sheer feel of chaos and action in a retro platformer, all combined with the jammy music, is what made me give this a positive vote.

    This game exceeds every mobile game, and earns the right to be compared to pc games!

    I would give it a solid 10, but I have some criticism about few things
    That in my opinion are the down sides (looking at it as full legit game, not a mini-mobile thing):
    - The references are great, artistically silly, but I feel like the story lacks bone.
    - The fact that youtubers voice acted themselves made it epic, but felt short and bit out of place, I understand that they did it for free, as friends, but a bit more recording runs of the lines, more lines, and character in game jump / getting hurt / dying / abilities / etc voices would've made the voice acting a bit more "there" with us.
    - The last but most important to me, as someone who loves performance million times over graphics, the game seem to require some heavy processing sometimes, I don't feel it's optimized enough, considering it's a mobile game and not available on pc, and it's 2D.

    Overall the game seems fun to play, offers a lot of enjoyment from replaying, unlocking all the unlockables, upgrading and buying all the abilities and characters in game, 3 difficulty levels for even more challenges, and beautiful design.
    This game is an experience you may feel the need to revisit even after completing and unlocking everything and every secret.
    In addition to that, there is no in-game cash shop, you get 100% everything by beating in-game challenges.
    As a video game, 5$ feels like stealing the game from Outerminds!
    Well done.    … Expand

    Story wise, the purpose and build up is kind of random if you are not familiar with the PewDiePie universe. Let's not forget that the ''bros'' were the ones voting for a good amount of content. It can feel a little chaotic sometimes, but you get used to it. It's also a great game for you speedrunner gamers!

    Very good mobile game, no need to buy in-app items. Worth your money and your time.    … Expand

    I have to say this is a brilliant game! Amazing graphics, music, gameplay all this spiced with some Pewdiepie humour. The only critism I have is that the game is too hard in some levels even in Easy diffculty. But despite that it's definitely worth a try!

I cant properly explain what led me back to this games metacritic page but i'm here to give it one last shot. The game Pewdiepie: The Legend of the Brofist is a decent if not slightly above average game overall. It has beautiful retro graphics and magnificent retro style music. The game has an okay story nothing to write home about really, besides the Falcon lover battle. Even that was spoiled early on though kind of making this games unseen void much larger. Back in late 2015 when I was the **** I was praising this games fantastic gameplay and story being beautiful and fantastic, as well as my overall treatment of the duck. I am going to make myself clear having recently replayed this game based on curiosity of what it was (Having forgotten a lot of it) I got to figure out how okay the levels and gameplay are. The power ups kind of suck besides the amazing doctor crab and the pink stache. (I didn't mention the brofist because of the fact that you have to complete the game to get it.) I think the game has expanded enough over time and the character costumes make the character more likable (Please do note the only youtuber who makes videos I still watch that was in this game was markiplier so I used him most of the time.) I still found an emptiness to all of them except Pewdiepie. Finally the difficulty... I still like the games difficult factors of this game almost the same but I do have to mention I played through on bro mode and still got the same challenge I got when I played through on easy mode. Maybe it's just me getting better at video games as years go by.
    Final notes:
    I'm putting this in spoiler mode so hat the falcon lover battle isn't spoiled for newer fans.
    I would give this game a 7.625 but based on the numerical system of metacritic I rounded up to 8.    … Expand

    The level designs are a little loose at times, and if you're not interested in clearing every difficulty level or unlocking extras, it's over a bit quickly, but overall, I think it's a pretty enjoyable romp.

    For those wanting a solid mobile platformer, consider dropping the five bucks on PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, as it has a kickass chiptune soundtrack, colorful levels, and tight touchscreen platforming.
