I was pleased to find the challenge mode, though it was behind the “extras” option. We do have our standard training modes, local and online multiplayer. There are only six characters and a handful of stages in a fighting game so unique that it is ripe for some variety. One major downside is that Lethal League is light on content. The 2-D hand-drawn art style very much reminds me of Jet Set Radio, especially since it is accompanied by a funky soundtrack loaded with hip-hop and house music that is far from generic. However, the developers’ originality is seen through the characters and stages. Though the gameplay is not all the developers copied-the developers blatantly copied the menus and UI of Super Smash Brothers Melee. It is the four-man matches and zoomed out camera that helps it resemble Nintendo’s mascot brawler.

I mentioned Super Smash Bros., which Lethal League was clearly inspired by. More than a few times I found myself thinking, “Just one more match!” when that next match was surely not my last.

Once I started joining team and free-for-all games with the maximum capacity of four players, I got the full experience. When I first started learning the ropes, I stuck with one-on-one matches, and that quickly got boring. Like most fighting games, competitors can easily break things down by hitboxes and frame just like they would do in Street Fighter. There are other various tactics such as parries and clashes that can be very instrumental in your victory if you can execute them properly. On top of just hitting the ball back, you can launch a special attack or slow down the ball by hitting the lob button. The term “easy to pick up and tough to master”is cliché, but that phrase applies here appropriately. Sounds easy right? Well no, it isn’t- t he ball increases velocity every time it is hit, eventually to the degree such that players may choose to dodge rather than return a shot, lest they be eliminated.

Once a player loses all of their lives, they are eliminated from the match. Think of it like a stock match in Super Smash Bros., except that you are eliminated as soon as you get hit. Rounds happen in what are called “bursts” when one player is left standing, they win the burst. In a match, players knock around an anti-gravity ball, but the goal is to hit your opponent with it. Review Lethal League is unlike any fighting game I have ever played, because it technically isn’t one. In terms of negative content, there is much worse out there that your $15 could go to. Positive Content: Beyond the content mentioned above, the game’s cartoon art style keeps things fairly clean. It can be rather annoying when the character is present within the match. One character by the name of Candyman screams “d**n it” multiple times when he is defeated. As far as language is concerned, there is some that isn’t mentioned in the ESRB that apparently doesn’t fall into their standards. Language/Crude Humor: The violence mentioned above relates to the objective, which does indeed fall into the category of crude humor. As players rally (hit the ball back and forth) the ball’s speed greatly increases into mach levels. When an enemy is hit, they react and yell in pain. The key difference is that the main objective is for the opponents to hit each other with the ball rather than having it land in a zone for points. Content Guide Violence: In Lethal League, players hit a ball back and forth much like a game of ping pong or tennis.

Team Reptile has now given console owners an opportunity to take part in the chaos and made Lethal League available on PS4 and Xbox One. I have seen it on the Steam store during many sales, and yet I never jumped on the purchase. Lethal League shows yet again why I love the independent side of the video game industry: the game bleeds style and is entertaining at the same time.

After many matches, I realized that this is the deadliest version of pong I have ever played. Though it falls into the fighting game genre, I still don’t know whether to to call it that. Price: $14.99 Lethal League has become immensely popular since it released on Steam back in 2014.
