    Brilliantly simple. [Apr 2015, p.84]

    A fun, accessible and utterly bonkers 4v4 team sport that allows onlookers to get involved in crazy and unpredictable ways. It's a local multiplayer revelation, though long-term appeal and value is questionable especially once it returns to £11.99.

    While #IDARB has an undeniable spark of ingenuity and humour to it, it doesn’t quite have the depth and variety of games of its kind like Super Smash Bros. It’s #IDARB’s simplicity that holds it back, but it is also this quality that makes it so refreshing to pick up and play.

    With the latest "Game with Gold", gaming reaches a new level of dramatic-pixel-action-fun. #IDARB makes us happy with some vintage but forever fresh gameplay.

    At a higher player count, the chaos get's too much, but when it's at its best, #IDARB is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Playing with others is amazing, but #IDARB doesn't help me out if I don't have quite that many friends available. Instead, it's watchable.

    While it’s incredibly fun with friends, it has little worth on your own. We also have concerns with the lack of content.

    It's much like Twitter itself - raucous and ridiculous, funny but infuriating. [Apr 2015, p.122]

It has to be the most addictive game I have ever played. There are some matchmaking issues but after one or two tries you find a match. Fast fun simple gameplay makes this a treat. I play with hashbombs off as I feel they detract from the game. This game also has online guest support so you can play up to 4v4 with a team of friends on your sofa. Full Review »

    For free it is definitely worth the add, but for the regular price it would get a little stale after a while for me. Having 8 people runningFor free it is definitely worth the add, but for the regular price it would get a little stale after a while for me. Having 8 people running around on one screen is something that is hard to beat though. All Xbox one owners should scoop this game up while it is free. It's a game that you will definitely thrown on every once in a while for some wild fast paced action. Not a huge fan of some of the mechanics but overall, it is fun to play every once and a while.

    an absolute gem and its currently free on xbox one. I do believe this to be the first (10) I have given a game.

    trust me it deserves it
