The Behemoth's follow-up to Castle Crashers has been well worth the wait. [Issue#98, p.79]

The surprisingly lengthy co-op mode does not experience this fatigue, and coupled with the replayability of the other multiplayer options means there's a lot of fun to be had. [Issue#135, p.117]

A pleasant and hard (in a fair way) platformer, but I think authors should have left out the enemies and the means to fight them, because they introduce unwanted chaos and the sense of losing full control over the character. [CD-Action 06/2013, p.78]

Este juego es un juego de plataformas muy diferente a los demás su historia es envolvente en el contexto del gran misterio del teatrl,el humor que cuenta este juego es XD el gameplay es dificil si pero por alguna razón no te rindes al pasar sus niveles,en conclusión un juego bien hecho pero su dificultad puede cambiar mucho la perspectiva en la que se ve.

At 1200 MS points it’s a small price to pay for the madness, and certainly lives up to its Castle Crashers pedigree for polish, poise, and preposterous premise.

Anybody who loved anything The Behemoth has done before will dig this, as will platforming fans who were raised on Super Mario Bros. and enjoy a challenging game of Super Meat Boy from time to time.

Genuinely, in my eyes, one of the greatest games ever made. The weapons are a cool 2D concept and the controls are very fluent. Both the normal and insane mode are fair and balanced. There is plenty of items to collect and 100% this game never got boring. The co-op mode is different than the story in terms of level design which adds even more replay ability. The art style is perfect and fits the comedic yet eerie theme of the theater. Is the story cringy at time, yes, but the game was made for 13+ so as a 17 year old, it may not appeal to me. Plus the story isn't the star of the show, its the gameplay that shines the brightest. Multiple game modes and a build your own level designer are cherries on top of the chocolate milkshake you'll find in this game. One of the greatest games ever and criminally underrated. 15/10.

Este juego es uno que he probado, un sistema de niveles muy decorado y bonito,buen soundtrack,además de su jugabilidad e historia absurda, tiene buen humor crudo.

BattleBlock Theater is filled with absurdity, fart jokes, and curious characters that will easily suck you into a colorful world. Its stages are creative and get more complex as you get used to its mechanics and controls and offer enough challenge and funny dialogue to keep you amused. Play it alone and you’ll laugh; play it with a friend (and push him off a ledge) and you’ll laugh even more.

This is one of the gems we randomly find on the Marketplace. Simple but fun, BattleBlock Theater offers a great platformer, it's surprising and very addictive.

This game comes from the maker of Castle Crashers. It brings again a really funny game with cats in all levels. Battleblock Theater is so cool to play.

Bright, colourful and mostly dismissive of current trends, it’s clear The Behemoth wants to delight players with every moment of its latest performance. That it succeeds in only most of those moments is still a remarkable achievement.

There's some good fun to be had with BattleBlock Theater and it's a mostly charming title. But its fair share of problems hold it back from being an unequivocally entertaining, must-have game.

This is the greatest video game ever released. I don’t need to say more. Go play this game, it is worth it.

Personally i loved this game, the challenges are superb and kept me challenged at all times. Very good learning curve were the game slowly gets harder while at the same time can be frustrating and also easy. The multiplayer is a complaint because i just don't like the combat and the game modes are not very great. There is a very good creation mode, where you create your own courses for other people to play, this is done superbly. Even with my complaints i have not put this game down since i bought it 2 months ago. 7/10

Got this game right when it came out... was a big fan of Castle Crashers (the last game they made). The gameplay is pretty fun, platforming-style, but it feels good, but not great. I feel that it just doesn't have that spark that Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid had. Multiplayer was pretty vacant when I played, but I imagine that will change if more people buy the game. The heads to collect and trade is a cool idea, but a lot of people play with the same head, making it easy to lose your character. The graphics style and cut-scenes are awesome and hilarious! The menu and UI just feels kinda unfinished and it can be frustrating to find what you are looking for. No controller options, limited other options (no brightness, safe screen, sensitivity, etc.). Also, this game took forever to come out, and they kept releasing screens and videos, but I have a feeling they were taking their sweet time to build up a following. Probably not worth a 3+ year wait... but a fun game nonetheless!

Does almost nothing new for the genre of puzzle platformers and feels way too old and generic. Everything seen here can be seen in other platformers dating back to the 80's. That said, multiplayer and a robust level editor will keep you busy and there are several premade levels and lots of costumes. Considering the studio that made it and the amount of time it took for this game to be made I expected better.

Le petit indé merdique de la fin de semaine est un jeu mongolo où l'on dirige un petit bonhomme tétrazomique à grosse tête dans des niveaux en 2D 128 couleurs. La "patte artistique" est affreuse et l'humour débilos est obligatoire avec notamment une voix off d'un commentateur hystérique qui n'a plus toute sa tête. La musique de golio rajoute à l'ambiance sonore déjà notablement mongolienne et une touche spéciale permet de faire "exploser" le petit bonhomme gogol en confettis et dans un gros "prout". Voilà donc pour ce jeu **** qui con-siste à sauter sur des plate-formes comme dans un Mariol de chez Tendaube. Super débile, super con, super "frais"...
