    By far, one of the absolute worst Beat-em-ups I’ve ever thrown down with. It’s intriguing art and concept is awash in a diarrhea ocean of: terrible design, completely random difficulty spikes and delayed inputs. There is zero depth to this game aside from mashing buttons and jumping during its constant onslaught of randomly grouped thugs and aliens.

It’s intriguing art and concept is awash in a diarrhea ocean of: terrible design, completely random difficulty spikes and delayed inputs. There is zero depth to this game aside from mashing buttons and jumping during its constant onslaught of randomly grouped thugs and aliens. You can also throw an opponent but lining that up feels completely hit or miss and it’s a stupid thing to do in a crowd anyway because it freezes you in place to get mauled by the obnoxious mob. This goes double for the ‘special’ move either of the main characters can use because it drains your HP so fast, it’s another pointless and fruitless strategy. The pacing is absolutely murdered due to the very frequent enmasse of those swarms and there’s little strategy indeed when all you can muster to do during most of them is jump around frantically and hope your kick connects with... something... anything. The game tries to cover up its shallow gameplay with also randomized screen effects (which can range from simple temporary scan lines to a truly eye-bleeding red filter that makes discerning what the hell is actually happening onscreen near impossible. I just can’t believe what the flying f—- they were thinking with this overbearing and simply unfun design. Somewhat cool metal music and nice animations do not save it. I am not joking when I say “I want my dollar back!”… Expand

    Worst beat-up game that ever made. The controls on PC version is sucks, and the good things is only their metalcore music.

    Coffee Crisis is a great throwback to arcade beat ‘em ups of the early '90s. Its 16-bit aesthetic screams retro Sega, though we would’ve preferred a traditional chiptune soundtrack truly reminiscent of the Mega Drive, rather than the heavy rock score the developers have opted for. This doesn’t take away from the polished style and traditional gameplay, however. Combined with the quirky story and indie humour, this promises a great time.

    Coffee Crisis is an excellent take on the beat ’em up genre overflowing with 80s and 90s nostalgia and heavy metal, although it is a shorter experience than we would have liked. The humour and personality spill through to the point you’ll remember this one months down the line.

    It's certainly absurdly fun and features a fantastic soundtrack but its rather short lifespan, maladjusted difficulty level and unhelpful roguelike elements mean that Coffee Crisis ends up creating expectations which it doesn't manage to live up to.
