Super Crush KO

Floaty combat and repetition mean this cartoon brawler is never more than a pretty face.

Whichever way you play, Vertex Pop has done it again. Not unlike Karen's various food treats that power-up her move set, Super Crush KO offers short-term satisfaction but it's very sweet while it lasts. Despite the compactness of the experience, it looks great and plays even better – so what are you waiting for? Go forth and save your kitty.

Fans of Vertex Pop's previous efforts will be serviced best with Super Crush KO, and while the execution could have excelled a bit further in regards to level design and pushing players more, that's not to say that the end product falls completely short.

Super Crush KO goes all in when it comes to its frantic and action-packed combat, which coupled with its bright and intense colours make this a visibly intense and fun experience. It never goes very much in-depth, though, and with repetitive bosses and the lack of extra content the game ends up feeling rather limited but it's undeniably a very fun effort for anyone who enjoys fun and explosive action.

Super Crush KO is a knockout!

Super Crush KO is good clean, robot-bashing fun. With easy controls and gradually increased difficulty, it's a great way to get into the genre.

Super Crush KO may deceive you at first with its cute aesthetics, quirky story about an alien cat thief, and a pretty relaxing gameplay. Unfortunately, all these are quickly KO’d out the equation by an incredible repetitiveness and lack of creativity when it comes to almost every aspect of the game.

Super Crush KO is based on banal and somewhat saturated concepts. Visually it is quite captivating, so the graphics end up being the main strong point to highlight. In contrast, the dynamics are basic and the plot and challenges do not differ much in terms of originality. It is good content for casual and occasional matches. However, it is not something that progresses in order to become indispensable.

Super Crush KO is an incredibly fun, if short and easy, character action game. It's as ridiculous and over the top as its contemporaries. Combat has a lot of depth, while remaining simple enough for beginners to pick up or veterans to enjoy.

Reading up on a couple of interviews with the team at Vertex Pop, it sounds like the developers were developing a game where most people could get into it without problems.
