    Fisti-Fluffs feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity. The basic premise is sound, and the modes on offer do provide a decent amount of variety, but thanks to poor gameplay and sloppy controls, none of the experience comes together. Add to that the rather bland visuals and limited environments, and you’ve got a game that simply can’t hold a candle to stronger examples of brawlers on Switch.

I will say, I knew it was bad, and my girlfriend did too, and we made the decision to buy it anyways, so no hard feelings.

    Firstly, the design your own cat feature is great. There is a fair amount of customization and we had a lot of fun making different cats. I was actually surprised by how well done this feature was.
    The fighting is just plain awful, I was even surprised by the complete lack of anything aside from punch button and shield. And by the way the correct strategy is to mash those buttons togther. If you do it right, you can just win that way, not a particularly fun time. I bet the destruction mode is best, but I really didn't buy the game for that.

    The cats control a bit better than I thought, I was expecting "goat simulator" style movement, but it's not that bad. It's basically powerstone but with no items, and you can't grab things, and the levels aren't particularly interactive. Which is what I figured I would be getting, but I hoped maybe I would be surprised with a bit more than all the reviews said.    … Full Review »

    There’s nothing wrong with taking what would traditionally be a more hardcore genre, adding cats and some silliness, and running with it… butThere’s nothing wrong with taking what would traditionally be a more hardcore genre, adding cats and some silliness, and running with it… but the problem with Fisti-Fluffs is once the initial hit of catnip passes, it lacks in staying power. When you start up you’ll choose your feline variety, your fabulous hat, which of the game’s few modes you’d like, your locale, and then you’re off and running. The primary modes consist of a straight-up brawl, a mode where everyone fights to keep a crown on their head the longest, and then one bent on destruction with everyone battling to knock over and break everything in sight and tally the most damage. To a degree these are pretty simple affairs and in the short-term have some novel fun to offer, but ultimately the game’s problem is a lack of real technique or depth tied to the simplistic and very loose control scheme. With a limited set of moves to work with, and a deliberately “wacky” unpredictability to how your cat will perform (random massive jumps will surprise you) everything pretty quickly devolves into a form of button-mashing, even for people who’d traditionally at least try to show some form and technique. Not bad for some throw-away laughs with like-minded friends, but it loses its charm pretty quickly no matter how many cute new hats you may unlock as you go.
