    play with a group of friends and its a 9/10
    play single and its a 3/10
    Only buy it when you play with friends and the game is around 10-15 and have a group of people willing to buy it with ya .i wouldn't recommend it otherwise. The buttons are weird and there's no patterns that why is 'dump fun' The game is first to 3W and you try to eliminate everyone by throwing the off the platform.    play with a group of friends and its a 9/10

    The gameplay is not bad but thats about it with it.It doesnt even have a proper menu nor any progression, it doesnt even say how to play it or have any tutorial.The fighting mechanics have potential but everything else is just a mediocre.You can also get to battles where you are outmatched 1-2,It is more like a demo.Mediocre at best.

    There isn't much content at this time, but what's there is a ton of fun and I've played many hours so far.

    The server issue are now beyond a joke, havent been able to connect to a game in the last 5 days. Literally unplayable outside of local right now. Simple entertaining game with endless potential for humorous on the couch laughs. The controls are a bit hit and miss but this may be intentional, unfortunately coupling this with a some wicked server issues it makes playing    **Updated**

    No single player mode outside of online (that I could see anyway) does leave you a little high and dry if the servers are bad and you have no couch buddies but for the price its still worth a purchase.    … Expand

    There is hardly any single player content apart from a wave mode that is very unbalanced. The online mode can be unstable. Only buy for multiplayer and even then, only on sale.

    Sure, the devs of gang beasts took forever to finish this thing, and it still feels unfinished, but it's been a fun couch game to muck around in since the start. Good for 15-20 minute play sessions on a couch gaming night.
    Haven't bothered with the online play.

    Costa troppo per il contenuto che dà, ovvero 0, non viene aggiornato dal 15-18.
    Questo gioco però è molto divertente con gli amici

    A very fun game at its core....with horrible servers that lag either you or your friend out on about 70% of your games and only a handful of maps. It’s a shame that it never looks like they will fix these.

    Really fun party game to play with your friends. At first, you have to either experiment or Google search what the controls are, but afterwards it's pretty easy to get the hang of. This game has a little bit of skill which is performing combos as quickly as possible. There are times when one person is holding onto a wall 24/7 while you try to grab them off, which can be really annoying.Really fun party game to play with your friends.

Also, this game isn't really worth $20 tbh, maybe like $10 would be reasonable. Other than that, it's a good game.… Expand

    Even if I’m less than impressed with some of the game’s technical shortcomings and overbalancing, Gang Beasts still delivered some of the funniest moments I’ve had in gaming, and that joy will stay with me for some time.

    Gang Beasts comes across more like a novelty than a fully fleshed out game but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't fun.

    Gang Beasts never pretends to be a single-player experience; it's a party game through and through. Even though there's only so much depth that can be found in imprecisely manipulating ragdoll physics, the end result is still oddly compelling. While Gang Beasts is not the kind of game that will find its way into the eSports circuit, players will still find a lot to love as they fight and fall and laugh at all the ways they succeed or fail in its oddball arenas.
