Can't help, gfx are ok, but the game itself is simply boring.

Most of the reviews claim this game is clunky as well as looking and feeling like a mobile port and honestly, they aren't wrong. The combat feels slow, the character feels unresponsive and unruly. Whos bright idea was it to have the jump and attack be the same button? ♥♥♥♥♥

I do admire the game for one thing though, it knows how bad it is as at the end of every mini level the default selection is to exit, that's brilliant.

Controls (movement, attacks, everything) are so bad that it's frustrating, unplayable. You have been warned.

It plays and feels more like a mobile game. The character animations are stiff and controls are a little bit clunky. But I could live with all that if there weren't for the game breaking bugs. Sometimes the game would simply get stuck on loading screen, or it would stop scrolling to the right even though all the enemies are dead and new ones are not coming. If you want a good action beat 'em up, play Castle Crashers instead.

Downgraded version of Golden Axe- exact same playstyle- brawl while you walk. Switch characters. Light on strategy, heavy on action, bland in narrative, although I can see where the developers were trying to be funny. 4/10 Good for the fans of the walk and brawl genre, though it looks like a flash version of a game.

+ Such a cute game!
+ I'm in love with the soundtracks!
+ Nice arcade graphics!
+ 3 Special Skills for orc and elf
+ Excellent Lore, loved it so far

- No leveling
- No talents or skills or points
- No upgrade system
- No point in playing more than once

Verdict:
5.5/10 -> Would buy if developers upgrade the game and add an upgrade system that can actually keep the player interested. However, nice and simple story.

very fun.... 10/10

Sometimes I wonder if the beatemup developers of today were actually around for the 90s. I keep thinking that they spent the decade hibernating, possibly in some cryogenic sleep-tank. I mean, how could they understand so little? Did they even play 90s beatemups? How is it possible to screw up so badly and not care at all? When I play games like Arson and Plunder: Unleashed, games that are so shockingly bad, that tears of blood stream down my broken and hollow soul, I just want to pluck out my beard and tear my monitor in half.

Through a twist of fate and a rip in the fabric of unreality, an Elf and an Orc become one. As Arson, you must burn 1000s of pitiful humans alive. As Plunder, you have to mercilessly crush the skulls of 1000s more. What should be the setup for a strategic as well as thrilling beatemup, is just another disappointing tale of boredom. All you can do is watch in horror as the very concept of fun is set alight and brutally torn asunder until nothing remains.

There are 5 levels with 5-6 zones each. The zones are your standard "move forward, kill all of the enemies, repeat" setup. It's pretty common for the beatemup genre, but the problems don't actually start until you play the game. The enemies tend to have a dash attack. This attack is a jumping shoulder-check. There's really not much you can do to counter this move, and you're likely not going to try because it does so little damage. Archers attack with arrows from practically anywhere. This is more damage you'll probably shrug off, because dodging arrows is too much work. It's worth pointing out that dodging in this game, just plain stinks. You're a rather large target, and even by dashing around, you're still liable to get clipped and surrounded.

Mainly you'll be relying on Arson to carry you through this game. She has a special move which causes fire to kill 5-6 enemies at a time. Special moves cost meter, but you replenish meter by killing enemies. As you can tell, this makes for a move that can be spammed at any and all opportunities. Is it cheating? Nope, not in the slightest. This game expects you to use and abuse that move, because the later zones pile on the enemies to an absurd degree. It's at this point where ignoring all of the minor damage bites you in the rear. Zones 5-2 and 5-4 are flat-out terrible, and that's because they're completely unbalanced. 5-2 throws more enemies at you than 90% of the rest of the game, and 5-4 expects you to deal with 5 waves of foes without any food items. There are a couple tantalizing watermelons placed in 5-4, but they're inexplicably background objects, because I haven't the faintest idea.

Oh yeah, I forgot to talk more about Plunder. I don't think anyone cares about him, including the people who developed the game. Well, he's an ugly green orc after all, not a sexy elf with all of the cleavage. Seriously though, the Orc suffers from poor special moves, and his melee attack is actually worse than Arson's. Yep, apparently a lot of muscles and a huge axe doesn't make you very tough. On the bright side, Plunder is better for dealing with the bosses. He can do a quick combo to knock the enemy down, take a few steps above or below them, then do another combo when they try to follow. This is an easy exploit to set up, but it's still the extent of the Orc's usefulness. If his dash-attack and special moves did more damage, switching between characters would actually make sense. Instead it's all about Arson spamming her "fire rain" over and over again.

Now if you haven't subjected your PC to a "fire rain" after several dozen attempts at 5-2 & 5-4, there is a Survival Mode. Before you ask, yes, Arson will be using that move even more. There's also a co-op mode, in case you feel like making enemies of the people closest to you. Oh and most importantly, there are attempts at humor in-between some zones. Most of the jokes are made at the expense of the game, and beatemups in general. Sadly, the sense of humor displayed in this game is almost as bad as mine. You're more likely to laugh at the writer's tenuous grasp of the English language, until you consider the possibility that the engrish was done on purpose. Let's face it, there's no way this game will allow any entertainment to be gleaned from it.

Look, if you want a 90s beatemup, just play a 90s beatemup. It's obvious that the people who made Arson and Plunder: Unleashed don't understand the genre, and the more time you spend with this game, the more you'll hate yourself. Now if you'll excuse me, I have the sudden urge to buy some DLC, play Call of Duty, and enjoy a few QTEs.

Presentable side-scrolling beat 'em up, with dual character synergy attempts. Fighters go through bite-sized challenges, each with draining special attacks and a limited health pool. Some clunky attack choices, but overall decent variety, if better in co-op than alone.

Awful game, at first it tempts you with its co-op, without saying clearly that it's only local, battle system at its worst, which is basically a button masher with zero strategy and entertainment. Levels are boring, enemies are boring, bosses are boring, everything is boring. If you want a hack n slash platformer, go for castle crushers or rampage knights instead
