Suggested by Sonic Yoshimitsu is good with a sword and can fight at a high level within his verse. The issue is that his abilities aren’t all that impressive compared to anyone in the Reborn world. Byakuran is many times faster than Yoshimitsu as well as more powerful. A single punch would likely break this guy’s sword and then that would be the end of the match. Yoshimitsu would not have a way to counter attack. Byakuran wins.
Suggested by Sonic Master Hand has a lot of cool attacks and is a versatile fighter but he’s not going to be keeping up with Faora’s pure speed. She has been in a lot of fights over the years as well and so she has more combat experience. That helps with strategies and all but she probably won’t need much as she can still defeat the Master Hand really quickly. Faora wins.
Suggested by Sonic Lance has a whole lot of dragon type Pokemon at the ready and they would absolutely make short work out of Earthworm Jim. Jim has his blaster and is used to fighting monsters but nothing quite like this. Lance and his team have the edge in just about every combat statistic that you can name. This is what really puts them over the top here because Earthworm Jim just won’t be able to do much against that. He’ll be outgunned the whole time. Lance wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Bionic Bunny is strong but he’s not invincible. Grave Joker should be able to pepper him with energy attacks and I see the bunny going down quickly. He’s not used to fighting opponents who are this powerful and will be taken aback. Bionic Bunny hasn’t shown any level of strategy or defensive feats that would be enough to win in this fight. Grave Joker wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Ichigo and Tsuna are some of the strongest Jump leads and this fight has been sitting in the vault for many years now. Ultimately I would say Ichigo’s still taking this. He has better defenses and while they are both supremely fast and strong, Ichigo’s just got more options here. Tsuna would need that sequel series at the ready in order to stop someone like this. Ichigo wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Ichigo is one of the most powerful Shonen Jump protagonists in history. His speed and power are absolutely insane and he defeats opponents that would leave most people spinning in awe. That said, Cell is still a little too powerful. He’s a very balanced DBZ fighter who has had his share of power ups in Xenoverse and DB Heroes. Ichigo can go far but ultimately DBZ is still in a different league. Cell wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Raditz returns to go up against Sonic. Sonic has a lot of speed on his side as well as his Super Sonic mode but I don’t see it being quite enough to stop Raditz. Raditz is a being of pure power in his SSJ3 mode and Sonic would not be able to take those kinds of hits for long. He would just be outmatched and it’s hard to mess with someone who has Raditz’s pure attack range. Raditz wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Raditz is a powerful Saiyan. He wasn’t always really strong but he trained and trained until he eventually unlocked Super Saiyan 3. Once he got that form it was off to the races and there were very few who could reasonably oppose him. Mega Man has had a whole lot of power ups and forms over the years but I don’t think that any of them would be a proper match at this point. Raditz’s abilities are much too great and he has the speed advantage here. Raditz wins.
No stats this time!
I got around to playing this one a bit but ultimately it’s not really going to stand out all that much among the big shooter games. The main issue is that there are too many mechanics and abilities which take away from being able to just jump in there and have some fun. It’s certainly no Fortnite as a result and I dare say that you would have a much better time in Fortnite as well. There are better free to play games to check out is the main message here.
They did an odd job of promoting this game though as if you didn’t know any better you’d think this was still the first Overwatch. There aren’t a lot of screens showing that this is the 2nd one or anything like that and the game doesn’t seem to be very different from the original except for the fact that it’s free now. Definitely the minimum amount of effort went into this one but of course if you haven’t played the original before then it’ll still be fresh at least. So I suppose that’s a consolation at least. This is a team game so get ready to have to team up with a lot of people and hope for the best. If there is a 1 on 1 mode, I hadn’t unlocked it yet although granted I never made it to a really high level.
So what separates this from the other games is that as soon as you step on the field you are given the objective of taking over a square or defending it. The other team has the other objective and then you fight it out. Expect to die a whole lot and any time you respawn you get to switch characters. That’s a nice touch at least although in general I prefer to have one life and when you die that’s it. It would make the game a lot more strategic since you can’t just run in guns blazing.
There are so many attack options as well that the game is naturally not as balanced as some of the others. Just from playing all of the characters once I could tell that much. This is not the kind of game where you can pick up any character and just have fun. Of course that also means if there’s a character you like but a teammate got him first then you’re out of luck. I liked one shadow ninja type character but for the most part the roster is very unimpressive. I couldn’t say that there were many that stood out for me.
The graphics are really decent though. The level designs are on point and you’ll have a good time running around. The energy effects are good too. The soundtrack is more on the nonexistent side though but typically shooters aren’t known for having great soundtracks anyway. They tend to be more silent so you can focus on what’s going on. I suppose there is replay value here to jump back into as many matches as you want but I don’t see this game really lasting all that long.
Additionally they want you to put in a phone number just to play the game which seems a bit drastic. I’ve never really heard of that for a game like this. I guess it’s to deter bots and multiple accounts maybe but if no other game is bothering with this then clearly the devs here are doing something wrong. You just don’t need to be that thorough and I feel like it’ll box a lot of people out of the game right out of the gate.
At the end of the day what hurts this one a lot is that it adds a lot of bells and whistles to the base shooting gameplay but does so in a way that weakens the core aspect of the game. You never get to actually run and shoot at the opponents because everyone is too busy activating their super powers. Being forced to attack or defend an area also means that you can’t have fun running around the map and planning an offensive. It forces everyone to bunch up at the same spots where it then becomes a mindless battle of shooting all your abilities at once.
It may work as a minigame or you eventually push people together to end the match but doing so from the start just isn’t a fun decision from a design standpoint. I want to be able to have fun and play the game my way, not be forced to run in like this. It’s not really my cup of tea. Maybe down the road they’ll make the gameplay smoother and change the objectives a little more but if the game is doing well then that’s unlikely. The original Overwatch may not be as big as it used to be but it still makes a ton of money so they’re probably satisfied with the system that they have.
Overall, Overwatch 2 may be more fun if you really drill down and learn all of the mechanics and such but I can’t say that I was very impressed at all. You have a lot of options and all but the game just isn’t very fun and part of the issue is that you can’t take two steps without being blasted. You can’t move fast enough to dodge much either so it just becomes a full on fire fight the whole time and without the strategy that makes it a lot of fun. I highly advise sticking to Fortnite instead which provides a much more entertaining shooting game that beats this one around the board in all areas.
Overall 5/10
