    Turning Crash Bandicoot into a MOBA is certainly a choice but not one that’s paid off, in this paper thin platformer that has little to offer either franchise fans or newcomers.

    If you love Crash Bandicoot and you've been waiting years for what once was Wumpa League, there's probably just enough there to convince you that this is a good game. But it's not. It's a bad game. They shouldn't have made Crash Bandicoot into this thing, and deep down all of us know it.

    It may have one mode, but they show us some promising contents that will come in the upcoming weekends during the season!
    This game makes me more addictive than any Crash Bandicoot game I’ve played in the past!
    And this game might be the one that will bring me some excitement!
    Firstly, the characters. Each character has their own abilities, strengths and weakness and what’re they good for which is good because that will help us how to make a strategic plan for the victory.
    Secondly, the power ups. Those power ups will support us in a very rocky situations
    This game deserves 10/10!    … Full Review »

It's addictive. It's compact. It's tight. Didn't expect any less from the same dev team behind Crash 4. Following this game for nearly 2 years, and finally seeing it out in the open is a heartwarming thing.

    The game, while only having one core mode for now, is still kept fresh with the wide selection of maps and the 8 unique heroes in the base game (with 2 more coming with Ripper Roo and N.Gin in Season 1). One of the maps, Surreal Summit, is based on my favourite Crash 4 level, Off-Balance. So no surprise that I adore this map in particular. Even with a rubberbandy online, you are still able to play and successfully play your role without much issues. That is a step-up from Nitro-Fueled's neglected Online. While the game has a Battlepass, it still paves way for good cosmetics both on the free and premium sides. Solid base roster. Solid game. Solid all around. It may not be the next Fortnite, Apex, COD, Overwatch, or Fall Guys, but it has a really solid foundation as a Multiplayer Crash game that'll just get better with time hopefully.

    My only negatives is that I wish that private matches also rewarded XP for leveling up heroes and the battlepass, as relying on matchmaking only is a bit lacking and tedious in that aspect. Maybe halfing the rewards for that might be what balances it out. For me, in order for it to be a 9 or 10, it needs about 3-4 more maps, and 4-6 new heroes for it to REALLY be worthwhile. And game modes. More modes are important for this kind of game. Introduce permanent new modes that are fun and spicy, and you have yourself a game that people can re-review basically and give it an 8, 9 or 10 even. Well-made game. Just needs a bit more to be chewed fully. Not saying it's unfinished or unbaked like other live service games that have far less content, but there is something special here with the brand new foundation for Crash Bandicoot Multiplayer. It doesn't need to be Bash remake. It just needs to be fun, unique, enticing, and passionate. That's how I can explain what the developer, TFB, are.    … Full Review »
