Art is just stunning and the gameplay is engaging. ### 5/5 — What can I say more? *2017-04-14, version 1.4* So good, with none of the greediness, 3.99 in app at most that I can see. Will likely contribute to see more apps like this! Controller support might be fun if it isn't already implemented. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Art / Challenging Game *2017-03-31, version 1.4* I found this game because I dig the artwork of Jed Henry. Been waiting for it to come out for quite sometime, and hoping that the game itself was good as well. It is. From a design standpoint, it's really beautiful. The characters are original and engaging (giant pigs, samurai wolves etc). Edo Superstar's gameplay is also both classic and original. From a classic aspect, it builds on the basis of many past side scrollers. Each village you set out to save has mini levels within it (like the world system from Super Mario). There are quirky fights and boss battles that also remind me of "the classics". The difficulty level is also very enjoyable. You won't be rushing this entire game in one sitting, and that's something to be glad for. Thanks a ton for putting so much energy into such an awesome product! Edo Superstar is a thrilling platform fighter the likes of Marvel V Capcom or Streetfighter but set in its own unique world. Oh and the story's cool too. I like how your character is sortof just in it for his own personal fame at first. Kindof a cheeky little monkey who just wants to be an awesome fighter. On this note, the "fame currency" is a fun mechanic. Totally hoping for more games from the team in the future! Other playable characters perhaps 😮 ### 5/5 — Way too much fun *2017-03-14, version 1.4* The art is amazing, and the gameplay is super fun. Edo Superstar! Don't sleep on this one. ### 5/5 — Really great ! *2017-02-24, version 1.2* The developers are very nice! Thank them for their hard work to solve the issues and keep informing me of the status. This game is really interesting, I love it! ### 5/5 — Great game but can't finish NEW UPDATE👍🏾👍🏾 *2017-02-24, version 1.2* I was loving the game until it keeps crashing I have a 6 plus and none of my other games crash like this. Fix on update I'll change my rating. I really want to play this game I was getting into it NEW UPDATE after the new update no more problems I waited patiently and was rewarded I love this game so much fun and great story. The swipe controls are spot on great job guys👍🏾👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Cool game, great art! *2017-02-23, version 1.1* Very good game, well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Best Game Art on the app store! *2017-02-21, version 1.1* Even if the gameplay weren't great this game would be worth it for the artwork, but the gameplay is just as excellent. Fun and easy to learn. ### 5/5 — Great art! River City Ransom-like gameplay! *2017-02-10, version 1.1* Like River City Ransom, you can upgrade skills. Beautiful artwork. ### 5/5 — Monkey Brawler! *2017-02-04, version 1.1* Great rpg brawler! I'd like to try this with a classic button controller. ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2017-02-04, version 1.1* Buy it. ### 5/5 — Gorgeous Arcade-style fighter *2017-02-03, version 1.1* If you like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games, you'll love this style of gameplay. The art is fantastic and the gameplay dynamics are very intuitive. Challenging yet engaging game. Well worth $1.99, do not hesitate to purchase. ### 5/5 — Most fun game I've played on iOS *2017-02-03, version 1.1* This game is rich, beautiful, and full of delightful surprises. Jed Henry's art is incredible, obviously, and so is the music. The characters are cheeky and memorable. For me, the most engaging aspect of the game is the innovative fighting control system. The swipes and tap combinations seem endless and varying, with new abilities, speed, etc. unlocking as the adventure progresses. The blocking, countering, and roll-through dodging are satisfying and creative, as are the combination attacks and power moves. Really enjoying this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Что за отстой *2017-03-13, version 1.4* На 4s сразу выкидывает ### 2/5 — Очень неудобное управление *2021-01-06, version 1.4* Игра вроде интересная, но управление всё портит ### 2/5 — Bug 很嚴重 *2019-11-12, version 1.4* 我打到第二話的第二關突然掉回第一話,然後就一直停在第一話的關卡了，而且付費買的東西都沒有給我啊！是否太糟糕？？ ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2017-02-09, version 1.1* It crashes while loading a level and sometimes in the middle of a fight. I have an iPhone 6. Otherwise great game. ### 2/5 — 落ちる *2017-02-04, version 1.1* iPhone6plusですがいいところで落ちます。進めません ### 2/5 — グラフィックはいいが操作感が残念 *2017-02-02, version 1.1* 楽しみにしていたのでリリース直後に購入。 世界観は良く、主人公も敵キャラも個性的でいい。 ゲームの進行もUIも浮世絵の雰囲気を崩す事なくまとめることが出来ている。 ただ操作方法が悪くミスが連発し、ザコに苦戦してイヤになる。 移動と攻撃の操作が改善されない限りは、自分の思うようなプレイができずイライラが募るばかりだろう。 画面左半分を移動、右半分を攻撃、など分割してくれれば誤操作は減らせると思うのだが。あと自キャラが敵の裏に回った際、敵の方に自動で向いてほしい。 操作のストレスがなくなれば非常に面白いゲームなのは間違いない。 ぜひ改善をお願いしたい。 ちなみにモザイクには2度笑わせてもらった。 ### 4/5 — Saw this street fighting ape at Comic-Con. Didn't disappoint. *2017-03-04, version 1.3* Some amazing prints and artwork showcased the old school Japan scene. Lots of Shoguns and Samurai scenes. Imagine all the wonderful animal characters of Tekken with the light-hearted mirth of the animal characters from TMNT and toy have the vibe of this game. Give it a whirl it will take you back to the fun of fighter games from early edition game systems. This is really a fun one. ### 4/5 — Animated sumi-e brawler with a kick! *2017-02-04, version 1.1* Sumi-e art comes to life with a Kung Fu kick in this stylish brawler. Edo Superstar features a "made for touch-screen" control scheme that is innovative and simple to grasp making this game a one-of-a-kind action packed adventure worth checking out! Seriously, if the video's not enough- good luck- 'cause words don't do the game justice. Very cleaver, devs. Very clever. ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-06-14, version 1.4* At first it’s hard to get used to the controls, but after replaying the first couple levels I got the hang of it. It was even more challenging getting the superstars but worth it. I’m saving up for the clothes that are 5 superstars. The designs of the game are cool, but on a website there was a video you made also showing the customization of not only his clothes but also his face/ fur on his face. But overall, I would rate it a 4.5, but round it up to a 5. Though I would like to see more clothes designs and things like that. ### 5/5 — No tengo palabras 😂😂😂 *2022-02-04, version 1.4* No tengo palabras. Mejor juego que he jugado todo él año; los gráficos son dulces y los combos son épicos. Esto debería estar en la consola. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Crusty awesome *2021-12-27, version 1.4* This game is so pro gamer and I like it except when I punch backwards (it’s a odd glitch it doesn’t happen often and when it happens it’s just annoying) it good game ### 5/5 — The right level of challenging *2021-01-31, version 1.4* This game is no button masher, and it does not take endless dedication either. The result is a mobile game that is more than a way to turn off after a long day. The game is fun. (A few bugs, especially fighting rooster in Edo tournament). ### 5/5 — The Most Beautiful Beat-Em-Up! *2018-11-06, version 1.4* I wrote this review when I originally played through the game, but I think most of the information still stands. I’m just awful at posting these. Great game with refreshing music, art, and style. The humor is on point and I found myself amazed by the volume of secret areas and activities. There is so much to do in this game! I spent a long time in the third world simply because I was enjoying backtracking and finding secrets I had missed. Because it is so difficult, the game naturally encourages you to go back and level up from time to time, and I enjoyed that process. The tips were actually very helpful. I found myself wishing I could read all the tips in one place. All in all, the mechanics are rewarding, and there is a deep level of complexity to the battles (not something you can say about most mobile brawlers). The game shines until the very end, bursting at the seams with creative energy. The zodiac tournament is especially fun, and there is some good character development along the way. There aren't many things I do not like about this game, but most of them are in the first and third worlds, and were revisited when I tried to collect some superstars prior to progressing to the latter worlds. A retry button, rather than an exit button, would have made superstar challenges less tedious. Some early enemies were frustrating due to mobbing/stunlock combos or the absence of a critical hit reticule (looking at the pigs from world 1). The lack of a "picking items up" animation made a certain superstar challenge in world 1 frustrating. Moving between platforms at various elevations is a bit difficult. Sometimes the game doesn't allow moves such as the divekick. This was worst when trying to avoid a flopping fish or two on boats (see 3-6). If anything, most of these flaws left me wondering if I would have had a better experience using a controller or keyboard... but after the difficulties of the first world—the second world is very fun—they were mostly problems of the past. The game has a good core and these were minor kinks that I expect to see fixed over time. Great work! Can't wait to see the next game you put out! ### 5/5 — Oooh-oooh-oooh! *2017-11-01, version 1.4* Quite simply the best fighting game I’ve played in years. Big fan! ### 5/5 — Beautiful little ninja game *2017-06-26, version 1.4* What a cool game, amazing visuals too. Great beat-em-up style of gameplay with some nice Japanese music & art to go with it. Surprisingly relaxing for a fighting game. ### 5/5 — Action-packed Artful Fun! *2017-05-16* Fun side-scrolling fighting game with a classic story set in feudal Japan with terrific character design and beautiful backgrounds and maps! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-05-08, version 1.4* Amazing art, amazing design, amazing concept, amazing music, and superstar game! Can't wait for more games from these guys!! ### 5/5 — Настоящая игра *2017-04-26, version 1.4* Увлекла. Прелесть игры в том что это не очередной ранер, а настоящая аркада с элементами файтинга, с сюжетом, сложными и разнообразными соперниками. Приятная музыка, графика, анимация, все сделано на уровне.
