The gameplay is simple enough, stretching arms to attack your opponent using a variety of different weapons you can equip before the battle, and each character has their own unique ability. However the battles do seem a little basic. In addition the way the game is designed promotes a hit and run tactic in which enemies try to wait out the clock to win. Stages are well designed, and the music is okay. I was really excited to play this game when it came out, but I completely lost interest in it, and any new content added doesn't seem to peak my interest to start playing again.… Expand

The only thing you end up working towards is unlocking different sets of arms for all the characters and getting better at the game so that you can make it through the higher difficulties (the CPU opponents get VERY tough on the higher settings).

    I would have also loved to have learned more about the characters. I'm not asking for much, just a little more than 'this is Min Min, she works at a noodle diner'.

    I would say that this game would be worth picking up once the price comes down, just as long as there's still an online player base. Like Smash Bros., the gameplay is easier to pick up than other fighting games as there aren't any combos, but there's definitely depth there and potential for higher level of play. The game runs great at 60 fps and is very much playable in handheld mode.    … Expand

    ARMS is a lot of fun. The presentation is great, and I love the deceptively simple gameplay that prioritizes quick thinking and strategy over mashing buttons. Despite this, the singleplayer campaign is completely bare-bones and the online multiplayer’s got a few kinks that need ironing out.

As a brand new IP, it's a little disappointing to see. The Grand Prix features a chain of randomly selected matches with no real context or opportunity to connect with the lives of these fighters. As a fighter game, storyline is not incredibly important, but the lack of character building is especially noticeable in this game due to its otherwise unique character designs.

    As far as gameplay goes, I find the motion controls to be terribly unreliable. For example, while trying to block a rush attack, I often end up throwing a punch instead. This ends up costing me a ton of health and sometimes the last little bit of my life. There are other strange things that happen as a result of the game not reading my motions correctly, but that is definitely the most noticeable one. Eventually, I found myself switching to the pro controller in order to be able to compete with other players. This was the best control scheme for me, but yet I still missed the charm of the motion controls. It felt like Nintendo really meant for this game to be played with the joy-cons, so to take them away, it felt like I was removing the core aspect of the game itself. However, playing with the joy-cons using motion control was not very fun either as I quickly found myself being outmatched by players using button controls like those on the pro controller.

    The wacky design of this game, using spring-like arms with missiles and other strange weapons attached, really sets it apart from other fighters. Having special abilities for each character also makes each character unique. On the other hand, there are some weapons and characters that are just clearly more powerful than others, and you'll find those particular ones being used frequently by your opponents. Meanwhile, characters like Master Mummy seem almost useless in competitive play as his two abilities include an armor effect, which can be easily cancelled out by a charged punch (something players should be using frequently anyway), and the ability to heal while shielding himself. Initially, you might think being the only character with the ability to heal would put Master Mummy near the top, but when you see how slow he regains health (the equivalent of the chip damage you receive while shielding a punch), you'll realize that it's not even worth the time it takes to get those 5-10 HP. You'll also be putting yourself at risk of being grabbed by your opponent while shielding, and that results in a massive loss of health which would take much, much longer to replenish.

    The developers will undoubtedly be working to balance things as the game continues to be played, but at the same time, there just isn't a lot to keep you coming back to this game over time. The fights were both silly and exciting at first, but the more I played, the more it felt like the same old thing over and over. Every 1-on-1 match felt just like the last, regardless of which characters or weapons were used. There are a number of different game modes, but the sports-based ones like Hoops, V-Ball, and Skillshot feel very bland. The fighting modes are much more entertaining, but the ones like 3 and 4 player free-for-all are not very fair to all players as one person usually gets picked on until they've been knocked out, followed shortly after by the person with the next lowest health. The player who avoids fighting the most usually ends up winning, and I'm just not into that kind of "win by doing practically nothing" defensive gameplay.

    All in all, if you've seen plenty of ARMS gameplay and you think you might be interested, I recommend buying the game. It's definitely a good game to pass the time until other games come out or to show to a friend who might be interested in some of Nintendo's latest ventures. I just wouldn't recommend buying it if you're short on cash and not really sure whether you would even enjoy playing it. I can't foresee it being a game that everyone will be talking about. It's a creative adaption of a boxing game, but it has many flaws. Even with more DLC added to the game, it will be hard for the ARMS IP to wiggle itself free of this boxing style of game it has pigeon-holed itself into simply by choosing the game to be centered around a group of professional fighters.    … Expand

You canAlright, lets get to the point before the community downvotes this without reading it because they're a bunch of saltbabies, arms is a fighting game a new IP from nintendo, I know 2 new ips in under a decade what a shock. But Arms is to fighting games what splatoon is to shooters. The problem is, anyone who plays fighting games, will always find themselves in a bit of a sour mood. You can use motion controls or a regular controller, and frankly you're going to want to use a regular one or else your arms are going to hurt, it is a good workout even if the motion controls are rather harder to use and tend to overwhelm you.

    Look there is not much in terms of single player, and if you want to tag up with a local buddy he needs his own joycons so that's another chunk of change. You're not gonna play this game for the single player, and you will get sick of party mode because it keeps putting you in random gamemodes that you MIGHT not want to play, such as 3 for all where two people target one person and all you can do in those situations is put your controller down and wait.

    The main meat is ranked, best of 2 out of 3 in a fight 1v1. But answer me this, what ruins a lot of fighting games? Scumbags, Arms own community ruins it, because you're never going to fight anything other than Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Twintelle, Master Mummy, or Helix. Why? Because those are the most broken characters currently. One can fly in the air, one can dash up to four times in the air an falls to the ground fast, the other has an outright warp move, an the other shrinks in size to dodge. And one can literally suck his thumb and heal by guarding constantly.

    Look the only way to play this game is to be a scumbag, if you just play single player you're going to hate the AI because guess what? Yeah AI in fighting games is bull.sh.it. they can react on a dime an don't have human restrictions. I've seen fairer AI in a mario party game.

    And some could say I'm salty, but I'm near max ranked in ARMS so I'd like to think I have enough experience to validate my opinion.

    I'd say don't buy this game, even with the new maps and characters coming out for free, it won't change what everyone online plays. You can get more fun with the 60 dollars on the steam sale, though I should come out and say I received ARMS for free due to winning a bet against a friend. Now here's the golden question.

    Did I have more than 0 dollars worth of fun?

    No, I probably had more than 0 dollars worth of irritation, annoying grab spammers that you do the same waltz an dance with, until you slip an they do get you an run all game.

    Look this isn't something you can just 'git gud' at. It's a fighting game with motion controls being the primary thing in mind, what do you expect?    … Expand

Also started bragging that he will not swing his hands to play. I realize that many people has closed minds and yeah there are no universal things in this world that everybody will enjoy.

    Whilst online is certainly slick, it turned out to simply not be fun. Each 'party mode' match turned out to be an exercise in knowing I would win quickly, or knowing that I would be beaten quickly - and not being able to do much about it. This takes the enjoyment out of the game itself.

    I thought perhaps ranked mode would be better - where I would be matched against players of my (not very good) skill level. Turns out you need to win a grand prix against AI level 4 to get in to ranked mode. After a couple of hours of trouncing the AI opponent in one round, only to be barely able to land a hit in the next round - against the SAME CHARACTER AT THE SAME SKILL LEVEL - I decided that this game isn't for me and I'll be selling my copy.

    It would be great if the game gave me the impression that more practice or different ARMS would make a difference. Unfortunately, I'm none the wiser about how I won those rounds that I won - or how to stop myself from getting beaten like I did. If we get some balance tweaks, where most people could hit that magical 50-75% winrate, or be beaten CONSISTENTLY by a given skill level, that might improve things vastly. Unfortunately, I won't own the game by that time. :)

    Good try Nintendo, and I really mean that - it IS great original IP, it IS polished, it IS fun for some - but I wish you'd include the difficulty in this game more prominently in your marketing, and not give the impression that it's very accessible. Splatoon 1 got it right from the start; I have about a 75% winrate on that and enjoy the single player component a great deal, and any given online match can swing from one side to the other depending on strategies and effort. Perhaps it's just me, but I find ARMS much, much more difficult.

    Watch lots of reviews, footage and opinions before buying this one. I just read another user review, who said he felt like most critics didn't "get it", or weren't very good. I most certainly "get it" - I actually find the gameplay mechanic very appealing and enjoyable - but apparently I'm not very good. Great throwaway statement, but then where does that leave me, the guy that's not very good? Not having any fun. And if a game that markets itself as appealing and accessible leaves me not having any fun, and it's not teaching me how I can get better, then it's not doing its job properly, despite all the good work that went into it. It's a shame, because, as I said, I really wanted to like it. But it's left me wanting to throw the Switch through the window on more than one occasion. Not for me.    … Expand

ARMS is a really goodf, fun game, that offers superb audio and visuals delight, extremely quick and adrenaline-pumpin' gameplay and sterling Online Party mode. Yet, it's often Nitendo Hard, it's frustrating to learn and often makes you wanna wail in outrage.

    Problem for me in ARMS comes from me sucking at it big time. I am terrible at this, unable to dodge, unable to duke it out, unable to grab... I don't pull this game grade down because I suck, it happens. But I have to say that lack of any proper learning curve is a bit frustrating. Nothing really is explained except basic of controls. It's not inherently bad! I like games that doesn't hold my hand through everything in the game, but still in a technical game like ARMS, where mechanics are the key, I'd love to know things beside the control sheme - like what's the delay between movement options and hits, how to negate grab attempts, what items dropping on the arena do and mostly what each ARM does - because fluff text express it in some way, but I'd rather have hard stats telling me how much damage, how fast and what gimmick an ARM offer to the player.

    Thanks to extremely quick matches and the arena combat it is hard to learn from your own mistakes, because it's hard to see what you did wrong. In a single match I can completely win one round without being hit only to lose two next rounds being completely destroyed, as all hits suddenly miss, all opponent grabs land no matter what I try to do and in the rapid anarchy on the field it is very hard to pinpoint the areas in which I failed and need to practice. This issue grows expotentially for me due to assymetric characters, each having a very different lag between moves, movement lenght and speed and so on, and so on.

    But the frustration and steep, confusing learning curve is pretty much the game only flaw. Everything else is spotless and I can see how you can really love this game when you learn the mechanics and technical gameplay of combat. Music is upbeat, fun, energetic. Visuals are splendid! Colorful, bright, with fantastic light effects and very tacticle feeling behind every punch you throw. Characters are nice, whimsy and fun in their own way. Game mods? Solid bunch. Grand Prix offer very back-to-the-roots grand championship tower, where you climb up difficulty and all players in the roster to fight a boss and win. Versus is bread and butter of this game - duking it out with a friend is an absolute, blood rushing, laugh inducing delight. And online party mode? Glorious. Sure, some mini-games are unispired, but it works like a charm. Even waiting in the lobby is fun, and it's so dynamic, so fast, that when you enter the party mode you can just sink yourself into the game for hours just bouncing between random fights with random folks online.    … Expand

    It'd be great if the net code wasn't worse than Splatoon's. The mechanics are great, but when a third of your matches end with someone either DC-ing or teleporting due to lag to get a grab that would've been impossible otherwise, those fine-tuned mechanics go straight out the window. The game is great, the online is not.

The crux of the game is its multiplayer, which is definitely plenty of fun given the variety the game offers even with its bare-bones content at the moment (which hopefully will be fixed with later updates), but the single player mode, while challenging and good at helping players hone their skills before competing online, feels very simplistic compared to other modern fighters which offer much more of an actual story and actual character development for their roster of fighters. With Arms, you just get a tiny bit of flavor text and a still image of concept art as your reward. Given the single player's difficulty, it doesn't do much to leave the player his or herself satisfied with their accomplishment (except that maybe they can now access ranked mode upon beating the hidden boss).

    Overall, Arms is a good attempt to breathe a different kind of life into the fighting genre and offers a fun multiplayer experience. Hardcore & seasoned fighting game enthusiasts however might be put off by the more humble character of the game vis a vis titles like Street Fighter, Blazblu or Guilty Gear. But Arms through this humility allows itself to be more accessible to the average player without completely alienating those looking for a challenge. Hopefully with frequent updates and perhaps later sequels down the line, the game's lore and unique mechanical depth can be more fully expanded to make it more of a worthy contender with more established fighting game franchises, while still retaining its charm and more light-hearted approach.    … Expand

After thinking I did quite well in the Testpunch before release, I was surprised at the challenge the AI gives me even at level 4 (out of 7). The AI will force you to hone your reaction time, because it is brutal in it's defense while exploiting any hole in yours. One reviewer here notes that you need to beat the AI at level 4 before accessing online play, and that is true, but only for Ranked mode. Party mode should be accessible right off the bat. The good news is, this should teach players to knock off the silly grab spamming I saw in the Testpunch, which will make for better Ranked games when you first jump in. And as for story, Nintendo let's their incredible design speak for itself, rather than fluffing up the single player modes with unnecessary exposition. The game could certainly use more fighters and weapons, but with promised regular content releases like we saw in Splatoon, this shouldn't be an issue.

    If you miss the 90's arcade days, this one's a no brainer. It's bright and flashy, easy to pick up and play but has plenty of hidden depth. This game reminded me of Power Stone meets something like Tech Romancer/Custom Robo/Virtual On, with the charming and silly design of fighter's from hidden gems like Waku Waku 7, instead of the ridiculous seriousness of more modern fighters.    … Expand

    If you actually give titles a chance, then Arms may be the game for you. Nintendo or not, it's still a pretty great title to look forward a fight on the Nintendo Switch system. Unfortunately, this title would probably be forgettable and passed out by other fighting games being or going to be released on the Nintendo Switch system very soon by a couple of years. Even still, it's well worth the fun.
