Trailers: You can already get an impression of the game in the first trailer:
There is more gameplay in the new video, in which Smash pros NAKAT and VoiD compete against the developers and clearly have fun doing it. We embed the video here:
What viewers say: We took a look at the reactions of the viewers in the latest video where the pros play against the devs. There is a lot of praise for the gameplay. There is also criticism of some content that players want to see improved before the release.
Players praise the attention to detail, with characters like Tom or Shaggy letting out their signature screams when defeated.
- “Tom & Jerry have some of the best, coolest animation. It’s really like the two are just trying to fight each other. That’s great.”
- “I really hope this game succeeds. Free-to-play crossplay with rollback netcode is a big step […].”
- “The ring out animations, the character voice acting, the combos and even the overall aesthetic from the look and lobby music to the quips the characters throw to each other in battle are amazing. I like how consistent Tony is with the community on updates and working hard to bring the game to life. Keep it up! I can’t wait to enjoy it as much as this video playtest.”
On the other hand, there is criticism for the fall animations, which, according to viewers in the video, look more like sailing and should be even faster.
Register for the Alpha of MultiVersus
