❤ Ragdoll Physics and Character Controls

Players use the arrow keys or analog stick to flail the limbs of their floppy hero characters, attempting to aim their weapons and strike opponents. This ragdoll control scheme takes some getting used to, as players must learn to use the momentum and physics of their character's movements to their advantage. Many reviewers note that the controls feel "intentionally difficult," which adds to the game's charm and humor.

❤ Weapon and Armor Variety

Players can unlock and equip 36 different weapons ranging from melee options like swords and axes to ranged weapons like bows, crossbows, and even cannons. They can also choose from 60 different armor pieces that offer various levels of protection and mobility. Customizing a loadout and testing out different weapon/armor combinations is a big part of the gameplay loop.

❤ Combat and Dismemberment

Combat focuses on targeting the vulnerable areas of opponents, especially their heads, in order to score devastating blows. The game features graphic dismemberment, allowing players to slice off limbs and watch their foes' bodies ragdoll around the arena. Many reviewers find the "disturbingly satisfying" dismemberment to be a core part of the combat mechanics.

❤ Game Modes

The game offers several modes for both single-player and multiplayer. The single-player campaign features 10 increasingly difficult levels where players face off against randomly generated enemy combinations. Multiplayer modes like Team Mode and Tournament Mode allow up to 6 players to duke it out locally, while the "Slay the Titan" mode has players working together to take down a giant enemy.

❤ Accessibility and Simplicity

Despite the complex ragdoll physics, the game features a very simple control scheme that only requires the use of the arrow keys/analog stick and one button. This accessibility, combined with the humorous, ragdoll-based gameplay, makes the game appealing to a wide range of players, from seasoned gamers to newcomers. Reviewers note that it's an excellent "time killer" and "party game" that's easy to pick up and play.
