    I'm not into plattaformers to much, but this is one of the best I played so far. Very fun either in co-op or singleplayer, the mechanics are great and are implemented incredibly.

    Rage inducing at some point, laughs and laughs in another. Really dependant on who you play with, but some hilarious moments happened in my experience.

    Battle Block theater is nostalgic in a way for me. I remember going over to my neighbors house to play this game and Skylanders on her 360. I recently saw the game had a sale on steam so I bought it. The game is fun, don't get me wrong but it doesn't do much different compared to other platformers. The standard Behemoth humor helped me complete the semi-boring gameplay. I'm also not a HUGEBattle Block theater is nostalgic in a way for me.

I'm also not a HUGE platform so that might have something to say about it. Overall I would only recommend purchasing if you are a diehard Behemoth/platformer fan or when it is on sale for 5 bucks.… Expand

    Fun if played in company. The game ends up becoming repetitive on the final stretch, would have appreciated a little more variety in the scenarios.

    Ничего нового эта игра не привносит, но какая же она очаровательная. Уилл Стэмпер — просто бог озвучания, на которого я ровняюсь. Геймплей интересный, задачки тоже интересные. Ну и куда же без фирменного юмора Бегемотов, где такое БАМ, а потом БУМ, затем БЫЫЫЫЫМ.

    This game is an amazing platformer I'm not even the biggest fan of platformers but you can tell this game was made with heart with lots of levels, weapons, and customization for characters. Along with good multiplayer game modes and a level editor that can give you hours of fun. whenever I'm on steam looking for a game to play with friends I choose this game half the time. good game 8/10

    También sobra decir que si te gusta este te descargues Battleblock theater, es un muy buen juego igual que este, hasta si tienes battleblock theater te dan un caballero totalmente gratis en castle crashers y si tienes castle crashers te dan unas cabezas gratis en battleblock theater, ademas tiene el modo hardcore que es la misma historia las mismas armas lo mismo todo, bueno si tienes una arma y te lo quieres pasar en modo hardcore la tendras (Se conserva todo en el modo hardcore)

    Lo recomiendo totalmente tambien pueden pasarse por The Behemoth que son los creadores de este juego, pueden jugar pit people pero para pit people es necesario que vean el final de battleblock theater porque los finales estan unidos y eso, lo recomiendo sobre todo para pasar un buen rato con sus amigos    … Expand

    BattleBlock Theater is a solid platforming game. I would recommend it to any platforming fan out there had it not been for the MASSIVE difficulty-spike towards the last 2 chapters.

    Those 2 chapters have super low room of error when it comes to timing, to the point that it felt like I passed some segments out of pure luck.

    Multiplayer is really good, this is a great game to play with/against your friends.

    I am happy to say that I have completed it but I will never want to touch it again. It is not bittersweet.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't care if anybody dies, but, it is an AMAZING game with great and challenging levels with great enemies but the chance of saving Hatty H. slipped away when he became a corpse with no death stripping Hatty H. of his life. My favorite part is the editor ant it's similar to Super Mario Maker.… Expand

    Great game to play with a friend.
    Pro: Ease of use, will get challenging later on, cheap, runs well, many skins, forgiving in deaths
    Neutral: Story & humor, weapons
    Con: Some bad re spawn area, only 2 players for story mode (4 for arena), cut scenes are too loud
    Battleblock Theater is a famous and worthwhile co-op game.

    BattleBlock Theater is without doubt a good representation of how a platform videogame has to be made. With a lot of levels, obstacles, weapons, customization of characters and a good artistic design, without forgetting the comedy with a funny narrator, we will enter into this great game ideal to laugh with friends or be more competitive and beat our own records in the different levels.BattleBlock Theater is without doubt a good representation of how a platform videogame has to be made.

    If the game is already great with just this content, BattleBlock Theater is not limited to this, it also has many different game modes for multiplayer and a level editor system where we can do anything that comes to our mind or play hundreds of levels already created by the community.

    With a very affordable price for everyone, plus a lot of hours of fun, BattleBlock Theater is a must buy videogame.    … Expand

Whoever voiced the narrator in the game is an absolute great voice actor, his comedy in the cutscenes and while playing will have you in tears.

    Very smooth gameplay, hardly no bugs or glitches that I've found while playing and has tons of replay value. Character customization is great and the story funny and charming!

    If you have to pick between this and Castle Crashers, in my honest opinion, it would be BattleBlock Theater    … Expand

    It is funny at the start, especially if you can play with a friend. However the gameplay was a little bit too repetitive for me, and eventually it became outright boring. The game is pretty much doing the same thing over an over again. All the levels are very similiar.

    BattleBlock Theater is not original and it’s not ashamed of that. It’s everyone else that should be ashamed and green with envy that they couldn’t make such a fun game.
