    I was pleasantly surprised with how well this game is crafted, and how well it performs. The level designs are relatively simple (as it is mainly a 3D arena style brawler), but jam-packed full of character and love. The story is not going to win any awards, but as I always say, fighters are not primarily based on their narrative, but their gameplay. And, Goonya Fighter is a blast to play!I was pleasantly surprised with how well this game is crafted, and how well it performs.

You can bash your way through story mode in either one player or two player co-op, and once your familiar with the mechanics hop online and see if you can make it to the leaderboards competing against people from all over the world in real time. The music is actually amazing and the unique physics of this game make it one to definitely try out for yourself. Trust me when I say I’m confident you’ll ‘fall’ for this game.… Expand

    It's got a minecrafty lego'esque style which makes it nicely familiar with a smash bros kinda feel in terms of game play. Kinda a street fighter format.

    The laboratory mode is awesome, the game never looses its worth cause it changes every week!

    The soundtrack is really cool to and adds so much tension and energy to the game play!

    Super wholesome, endless fun for friends, family, or a way to fight it out with your enemies!    … Expand

    H Goonya Fighter is extremely quirky with its comical floppy characters combat game with solid online gameplay. There’s enough stuff to keep you occupied. The game also has alot of new DLC content available and its new laboratory mode for quirky battles with friends. which will draw you back into the fray time and time again. And is worth place on your nintendo switch

    playing the game on the switch is fun the best test gamers are my kids they were enjoying the game in 3/4 player mode
    I took on online players the feeling when your winning and you fall through a hole in the floor cant be beat losing is fun :)

    there are fun game modes that suit the maps and although there are not many what are there are very well done small maps with traps and pitfalls and the fighting mechanics are daft as a brush as when you strike an opponent it connects hard miss and you fall flat on your face...I give it an 8 as my kids love it....personally the price of the game swayed me its the right price any higher id pass imo its a must have digital title I didn't see much switch gameplay on YT so I did some glad I did need to spread the word when a good game gets released .    … Expand

I was hooked on the way this game made me laugh and have a good time. I went home and play this game with my family and we had a good time. The game has a story mode that in my opinion that is a big plus since most of the games now are either online or single-player only. I liked the game so much I bought a copy for my daughter that way we can play together when I am on the road. The game has a lot of DLC content available and it is relatively cheap.… Expand

    This is a unique fighting game experience that's easy to play and addictive in nature! With its 4 button control scheme (punch, kick, jump, block) and minimal but responsive movement mechanics it's easy for anyone to hop in and learn the system within minutes. Character designs are cute and simplistic block-like models that are just enough to get the job done. Animations are goofy and funThis is a unique fighting game experience that's easy to play and addictive in nature!

Character designs are cute and simplistic block-like models that are just enough to get the job done. Animations are goofy and fun and compliment the rag doll physics.. The content is plentiful and rewarding as it's mostly based off of traditional unlock, although there is optional DLC. Thankfully, nothing is locked behind a paywall that pertains to core game elements. Being able to play co-op Story Mode and Online with a friend adds a nice touch. The music is upbeat and high-energy and meshes well with game play. Overall, it's a goofy, fun, and family friendly party game with little to know learning curve that tends to grow on you the more you play it and understand its physics and logic.… Expand

    As someone who started writing about games on an actual site a few months ago, I promise you no matter how far I get in the gaming industry I will never forget Goonya Fighter.

The developers reached out to me wanting me to review their game, the fact that any developer reached out to me that early in the development of my site was something I was incredibly thankful for. Adding all of that with the fact that Goonya Fighter is such a fun game, the controls aren't too difficult or convoluted to figure out, I love the modes and I go back and play it a couple of times throughout the months. There are updates from time to time and new modes being added every little while, so there's a form of support for the game even after its launch. I will always have the privilege of saying the first game I ever reviewed on my site was Goonya Fighter and I wouldn't have it any other way, MUTAN, I applaud you.… Expand

    Me and my family have recently found this gem during lockdown. The multiplayer is one of the best that I have played with family.

    Fun and simple game. Having played over 30 hours, most spend in online solo ranked matches.
    I also bought this game when it was on sale for 1€, I would not recommend getting it for the full price which is 25€.

    If you want something new, this is it!
    The controls are so simple to pick up and suit a Switch joycon perfectly. The game is beautifully presented with smooth solid visuals, catchy music and the characters themselves could very well pass for a cool toyline.
    The gameplay is quite unique. You have keep your character stood up, whilst merrily punching and kicking away at your opponents. The rag doll physics really give the game character.
    It's great fun booting your friends into breakable scenery, throwing bombs at them or why not shove your opponents into the many hazards in the many arenas?
    What really elevates Goonya Fighters for me is the many game modes.
    The Story Mode really adds depth to the game. Travelling around map sceens and facing so many different kinds of gameplay whilst the story unfolds.
    As well as standard fights for 1 to 4 players. You have coin battles and races.

    There's plenty of DLC for Goonya Fighters too. The game doesn't rely on it, which is just as well. I'm not the biggest fan of micro transactions in games.

    If you're fed up of the same old 'Street Fighter' clones, retro inspired, scrolling beat em ups, wrestling games and Smash Bro wanabes. I highly recommend Goonya Fighters for any single player, party or family.

    Bravo!!    … Expand

    Es un juego bastante divertido, que por si fuera poco, también contiene juego en línea, además de modo historia. Terminas muerto de risa después de cada batalla o pelea. Lo recomiendo mucho para relajarte y reír por ratos, ya sea con amigos o la familia en modo local, o agarrarte a madrazos en línea vs japoneses xD

    I'm not one to review games but for £0.89 this game is packed and full with content. audio is laughable. it looks inspired by Minecraft and that's all I'm gonna say.

    This is the best game of all time without a doubt: the characters, gameplay and voice acting are without a doubt unmatched. Get this game or you’re not a true gamer.

    There are many games that feature intentionally silly physics but few are as enjoyable as the wacky and delightful Goonya Fighter.
