Boomerang Fu
Boomerang Fu is, at first, a simple game. You’re a Fruit. I mean, excluding Eggplants. And Avocados. Ok, fine, it’s not a Fruit Game, but a Fruit/Vegetable/Grain/Drink/Ice Cream/Sushi/Bacon game. Each character oozes personality, some in a literal sense, others roll around a bit more.
Anyway, as the title says, it’s all about Boomerangs. You throw boomerangs, slash with boomerangs, catch your own boomerang, kick boomerangs out of peoples hands, turn into a box & get hit with a boomerang, etc. You’ve got 3 (4 technically) buttons, 1 stick. Simple to pick up, hard to master, but outstanding fun at all skill levels.

Amazingly fun little game.
And my kids (5 & 7) just love it!
It may appear a bit violent at first glance, but it’s not that violent.
You mostly cut food items or break and occasional cup.
No blood or gore or anything.
The game easy to play - even a child can do it.
So kids enjoy it very much.
The bot enemies on lower difficulties are also quite easy to overcome, so the kids can even play the game by themselves.
Other than various characters (that only differ in their graphics) the game also offers various levels, with different game mechanics (levers that allow you to kill enemies by moving the environment, moving ground, ice, trees that hide you, etc.)

Simple concept, really easy to understand and reminds me of the good old days of coach multiplayer games ! Just grab some friends, launch the game and have fun. Rounds are quick, always surprising and fun.
The visuals are really nice, it has this really enjoyable atmosphere. Oh and the music is perfect too !
The game is easy to play remotely with friends over Steam so that’s amazing !
I had already played the demo and lots of improvements have been made since then so… I highly recommend it !

Antistatic
This game needs more attention.
It’s the most Melee-like platform fighter out at the moment in a genre overran by developers too afraid to commit to the formula that made the genre so big competitively.
Most developers try to differentiate their games with weird, unsatisfying, shallow mechanics that end up souring the experience, but this game from my short time playing is more set on pure and solid gamefeel and exploring the genre from it’s roots, with unique movesets instead of directly ripping or tweaking already existing characters.

Very early in development, so it’s lacking in a lot of departments. That said, the core gameplay is tight and with some time most of the problems will be fixed and most missing features will be implemented. Also, the dev seems pretty engaged with the community and is very active, at least on discord, while posting constant updates about the development timeline. Overall, at it’s current state it’s a very ‘rough’ game with a good core that only shows signs of improving.

Combat Core
A great 3d arena brawler, Combat Core has the “pick up and play” accessibility of a party game while providing room for a lot of technical depth once you understand how the various mechanics work. Fights involve 2-4 players and uses the character stock system similar to Super Smash Bros..
Basic combat involves utilizing weapons, grabs, quick combo strings and core attacks to deal damage to your opponent; as a party game this is enough to ensure a good time if you just want to beat down your friends in a few matches. However, once you understand how the parry and defensive roll mechanics work the technical game opens up considerably.

Combat core is an excellent arena brawler. I highly recommend this game if you want something fun, casual, and different than your traditional fighting games.
The gameplay is very solid. There are no special inputs you have to execute to perform specific attacks, it’s as easy as pressing one button, or you can mix it up with two different buttons. There are a handful of fighters that you can choose from at the moment, they all have their own unique moveset and look.
Before every round you can select a “core”. These grant you special abilities that you can use, such as laser beams, super uppercuts, super piledriver, charged rush, etc… These cost energy points to use during battle.

Go All Out
Go All Out made by BlueSunsetGames is a 2D 4 player brawler much akin to the Super Smash Bros Series and the game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. As of this review, the game is very small with 4 fighters (soon to be 6) and few select modes. You play by depleting the opponents health bars by attacking with small, mini combos and using items in select stages.
The Visuals/Graphics are very nice looking (especially love how the Pillar and Toxic Wasteland look) but I feel that there should be more Polish and Detail added to the stage to make it look even more Awesome.

Go All Out, as it is now, shows a lot of potential. It has a unique take on the party fighter genre that Nintendo established with their Super Smash Bros. The use of a health bar, super meter, and blocking meter to limit spamming block is very interesting. With some fine tuning, this could rival the newly released Brawlout and maybe even Smash. Not to mention the low starting price means it’s well worth buying, especially when you take their monetisation model into consideration, where they increase the price after each major update to reflect how much effort went into this. Meaning the game as it is now is only $2 USD since the game has very little content and polish, but in a year’s time the game could be 10, 20 USD and if you bought it now, you could’ve saved up to $18 USD.

KnightOut
Best early access game to invite others over to play after COVID 19 pandemic!
I haven’t been able to find a game online; however, Discord server is active and devs can help find players to play via steam. You can also PM if you’d like to play.
If you have kids and know what you are doing, you can go 2 v 1… 3 v 1 is a bit tricky. Devs are active on their discord and have stated to change respawn times later.
Bugs at the moment are not that bad, but yes, it’s early access.
In any case, it’s great for a KnightOut with friends or your kids locally. Just wear masks, wash your hands and game controllers.

The game has friendly fire in co-op. Which makes the experience a joke. The coins disappear extremely fast and seem to determine how many stars you get. There’s also gated progression which requires a set number of stars per map to progress. Not a very casuals experience for some local co-op.
There’s also the problem when the game zooms out the entire screen is one big BLUR.

ABRACA - Imagic Games
Underneath the cutesy graphics lies a game that actually takes skill to play.
Abraca really is the perfect party game. Think of it as a little bit of a mix between Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party. Then, be a little forgiving, as the creators neither had the budget of those two AAA games, nor the price tag.
Each player controls both a prince, and a princess, but not at the same time. Each princess is placed in a giant box, and each prince races for the key to open the box and free his princess. You progress through a series of challenges as far as you can on your turn, with the other three players taking control of the defenders in the level. As the prince, your goal is to pass as many stages as possible, as the defenders your goal is to send the prince to the start of the stage as many times as possible, and as a princess your goal is generally to smash the other princesses so you can blow kisses to your prince through the lock-hole of the chest.

Since i see no really usefull reviewers, I decided to give you guys one.
This is actually a really good party game, but ONLY a party game! This game is probably one of the best Local games out there. I don’t know how the heck the others managed to rate this game after playing for like 20 minutes, but think i tried it enough to give it a rating.
There are three modes: Race, Arena and Challenge mode.
The race mode is 2-4 player. This the mode that makes the game shine. You have to get through 9 stages before the others, and in every round, the chosen one has to go as far as possible within 60 seconds. While the chosen ones struggles to get through the stage, he have to escape from monsters which is controlled by 1-3 local opponents. (NO BOTS. ONLY THE OTHER LOCAL PLAYERS) On their way to comleting each stage, he/she have to escape the opponents either by avoiding them or beating them to move on. Every character gets a chance every round to be the chosen one, who has to go through the stages. If you are lucky and good then you might go through 3 stages within 60 seconds. And if you are unlucky then you might stay in the same stage until the next round. After every round the first chosen one is being chosen by a battle between friends (works like smash bros). The one who is finishing and beating the stage 9 boss the first will win the game.

The perfect party game to play with you friends!

Dispite its simplicity is the game a lot of fun and stays fun for a long time. The Map ideas are great and the character design is just gorgeous. The tiny details about the character just give the game so much life and you can tell that the creators put a lot of effort in it. I can recommend this game for everyone who loves to play with and against friends.

Also Expect to mash like never before since going for the same button as your opponent will force you both to mash fest punch button, with the fastest thump being the winner! KAKATE KOI
