    King of Meat arrives almost by surprise, delivering a highly entertaining title with a ridiculously fun premise and gameplay that appears simple at first glance but quickly reveals deeper complexity. Its variety of dungeons and rewards makes it ideal for repeated playthroughs, while the chaotic and unpredictable nature of its multiplayer renders it highly recommended for enjoyment with friends. Although it has areas for improvement, there is no doubt that it possesses potential that, hopefully, players will know how to leverage.

    King of Meat might not redefine the action-platformer genre, but it carves out its own quirky niche with style, laughter, and a surprising amount of heart beneath all that carnage. With strong co-op play, a creative dungeon editor, and a wicked sense of humor, Glowmade’s game delivers a fun, messy spectacle that’s perfect for those who don’t mind getting their hands (and screens) a little bloody.

    A cooperative game that is simple and powerful, fun and generous, all at a low price: a combo that has everything to meet success.

    King of Meat is a splendid way to while away the hours with a few friends as you dash through devilishly designed dungeons in a never-ending quest for fame and fortune.

    King of Meat is a serviceable co-op dungeon crawler that's best played with friends. Combined with a generous monetization model and plenty of replay value for $29.99, it shows a lot of potential for growth. However, entering a saturated multiplayer market, the game's greatest risk is failing to attract a consistent player base. Its unique aesthetic and player-made dungeons are its best hope for avoiding the worst-case scenario of being quickly abandoned.

    King of Meat is a title that, if it plays its cards right, has the potential to become a standout in the competitive multiplayer genre. Its biggest strength lies in the accessible, easy-to-use level editor, giving the community plenty of room to share their creations. The hack & slash gameplay is a blast, especially with friends. Still, its long-term success will depend on post-launch support, since games like this thrive on a steady stream of updates.

    King of Meat offers you dark fun in dungeons filled with deadly traps, where you risk your virtual life together with other challengers. However, the true strength of the action-platformer is revealed only in the extensive dungeon editor and the entertaining online co-op. A bitterly delightful pleasure.
