Crash-land in the psychedelic world of Super Cane Magic ZERO, a local co-op Action RPG for 1 to 4 players! Immerse yourself in the mind-bending Story Mode or pummel your friends in 8 local Battle Arenas. Smash! Loot! Eat Rocks! Fight a really big fridge!
Players praise the core combat, which revolves around picking up and throwing various objects at enemies, rather than relying on standard melee or ranged attacks. This "throwing" mechanic allows players to interact with the environment in creative ways, such as picking up explosive items and hurling them at foes. Reviewers describe this unconventional approach to combat as refreshing and fun, especially when playing with friends in local co-op.
In addition to throwing items, players can also consume a wide variety of objects, from rocks to food, which can then imbue them with various effects and abilities. Reviewers highlight this "eat anything" mechanic as an engaging and humorous system that encourages experimentation and discovery.
The game features a traditional RPG progression system, where players can choose from a variety of playable characters, each with their own unique abilities and playstyles, ranging from bakers to candy wizards. As players level up, they can invest points into an extensive skill tree, further customizing their character and playstyle.
A major focus of the game is its local multiplayer support, allowing up to 4 players to adventure together in the story mode or compete against each other in various battle arenas. Reviewers consistently praise the chaotic, physics-based combat, noting that it makes for a hugely entertaining and social experience when playing with friends.
While the gameplay may seem silly and over-the-top, reviewers also highlight that the game can be quite challenging, especially in the later levels and boss battles. Enemies become increasingly tough, requiring players to master the unique combat mechanics and item interactions to overcome them. This balance of accessibility and depth is lauded by many players.
