Great fighting game! Definitely unique.
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
It's definitely one of those games where you'll have to think twice before acting the way you react. And I would say that I enjoyed this game more than I should've, especially online. It's definitely unique, unlike any other fighting games. Each character has its own design and abilities that make them refreshing for everybody. Now, if you look over the gameplay, first thing that comes up in your mind would be that this is nothing but a simple stretching arms fighting game with a slap of Wii Boxing. But if you played or at least try it out, you'll see how in-depth and strategy that comes up in this game. It's easy to just play on it and have fun, but it's hard to master. One thing I should note, though, is that there is no camping mode or story mode or any relative story that the game doesn't offer, at least at the time of this writing. There is Grand Prix, but you'll have to progress with 10 fights with a variety of difficulty bettween 1-7, but that's pretty much it, and let me tell you, once you go through level 4, that's going to get spicy. This game sure has it's own speciality of the word "difficult". But the real fun is online, whether Party Match or Ranked Match (although Ranked is one serious mode, just one-on-one fight with rank based, so there's that for you to get your rage mode on), you can also play with a friend and just have fun just like that, or you could play with a variety of modes in Versus mode, but the spark is the basic Fight. All in all, this game really deserve it's spot in my book, probably up there with MK8D, at least that's how I feel. BotW is definitely my #1 game. And this game is no exception. Ultimately, it's not for everyone, this game does seem repetitive or just not into this kind of fighting game and prefers the traditional way, I can totally see that. But if you want something fresh and something new to the table for your friend or siblings to have some fun beside MK8D, I'd recommend this game, it's worth the money consider that the update that comes along in the future are totally free, so that's a plus to me. ... show more

This game is a great surprise!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this game! I actually had it pre-ordered but decided to cancel because I was worried about a lack of content and I only got to play the demo for like 30 min. before it was over and that just wasn't enough time to get the hang of it. Then IGN gave it and 8 and said it will be even better when the new content comes in and some reviewers were getting excited about it. So 2 days before release date I "re pre-ordered it and I'm so happy I did. As it's already been stated content is on the way. It's a little light in that department right now, but the formula stays fun for many hours, and getting new Arms and perfecting your technique should keep you busy in the meantime. I have 10 hours in and every now and then I just can tell I'm a little better. A steep learning curve, but very worth it. The controls are excellent. Unfortunately, there are many people on here, whether impatient or uncoordinated, that have been saying they don't work correctly. They work amazingly, exactly what I've been waiting for out of motion controls. Now, if you don't take some time to learn what the game wants you to do, they may seem unresponsive at first, but give it an hour and a half and you should be good enough to blow through the first two difficultly levels. After that it gets harder, but as you get more comfortable with the controls it will just keep getting easier. Like I said, I'm ten hours in, and I've beat the first 5 difficulty levels. I've never even tried it with standard controls and I probably never will... maybe I'll start wanting to grind for coins in handheld mode, but I doubt it. This game has been added to my workout regiment and even though it doesn't burn the calories of real exercise, it's a fun way to get the blood pumping. I can't recommend this one enough! ... show more

Fantastic casual game!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Fighting games are hard for me, but this is so unique I absolutely fell in love with it. I'm having a blast! + The "campaign" has plenty of content and scaling difficulty to keep you occupied for a long time! I'm not even a quarter through the difficulty ladders! + I always find myself frustrated after playing multiplayer games, but the online mode in ARMS is extremely responsive, fun, and casual! + This game is easy to learn, but also has a pretty good skill ceiling if you really want to optimize your fighting. + Graphics are exceptional. Fights are always in crisp 60fps. + Characters are VERY likable and colorfully designed, and because there is no main character, it's easy to find your favorite one! + Games are fast and fair. No need to worry about long matches dragging on, just start up a game and go! I have never put this game down without a smile on my face. Nintendo did a great job polishing such a fun experience! ... show more

Overall Great, Fun game
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
As someone who was very skeptical about this game before release, and missed the chance to demo the game before release, I put my faith into Nintendo when I made this purchase and it paid off. Gameplay - ARMS is a boxing game in which the 10 playable characters (with more on the way via free updates) have long springy elastic arms with a large number of interchangeable gloves with different environmental effects that keeps the game fresh and interesting. Characters each have their own skills and perks which makes each one unique. Fights are quick, immersive, and intense. There are also several different game modes beyond 1v1 fighting, like volleyball, that give the game variety. Story - ARMS' story mode is the Grand Prix, which consists of 10 (11 if level 4 or higher) fights with the other characters and a final boss. Unfortunately it lacks any real detail, which is disappointing. There are 7 levels of difficulty, which vary from easy to extremely difficult. If you pick one of the higher difficulties (4-7) prepare to want to throw your TV out the window by the time you finally beat the Grand Prix. I see this as a good thing though, as a good game should be challenging, which delivers more satisfaction upon victory. The difficulty doesn't rob anybody of the Grand Prix experience, as easier difficulties can be selected. However, level 4+ gets a second final boss, but is fightable in the online multiplayer to make up for it. Online Multiplayer - This is where ARMS shines the brightest. Online has 2 modes, Party and Ranked. Party matches consists of putting the player into a fantastic lobby system with a number of others as the game decides how to split up the players, with varying modes including 1v1, 1v1v1, 2v2, volleyball, break the targets, basketball, and more. Ranked mode is unlocked after beating level 4 Grand Prix, which consists of just best of 3 1v1s with one other player. Rank goes up or down based off whether you win or lose. Controls - The motion controls actually feel really nice and responsive. But if motion controls aren't your thing you can play with the Joycon Grip, Handheld-Mode, Single Joycon, or a Pro Controller. The controls on these options feel nice, with one debatable placement of shielding as the left analog click. Feels a bit odd to do it the first few times but it's easy to get used to. Soundtrack - This game has a hands down amazing soundtrack. Each menu and stage has its own music. The main theme is still stuck in my head since the game was announced. Seriously just YouTube it or something, it's great. Verdict - The game is great for someone with a online connection or other people to play with locally, however someone without either may find the game lacking in substance. Players with internet/other people/both - 5/5 Players without - 3/5 I gave this review the average of the two, 4/5, even though I desperately wanted to give it 5/5, the lack of a real story mode is a big drawback for people who want a completely solo experience. ... show more

Really fun, I love it!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
First off, packaging was perfect and everything came in as asked for, not enough people take time to appreciate that. This game is a blast, I love playing it! It’s basically boxing but with 10-foot extending arms, but I like how it takes time to add in other game modes like volleyball, basketball where you dunk your opponent, “shooting” targets, and various changes to the fights! The roster is cool (my favorite is Helix), and even though it’s an old game, the online lobbies are still pretty active, I get on just about every other day to fight others. Plus, it’s got local split screen, always a plus if you have roommates or live with family! if you can, I recommend using the joy-con motion controls, as it feels more responsive and fun as opposed to the button controls. Still, the button controls are fun, it’s just I think motion controls work better! Amazing game, definitely should buy! ... show more

A great price for a great game!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
I had been looking to buy ARMS for quite a while ever since I first played the demo after getting my Switch. My issue was that I could only find it on the Digital Store and it was too expensive for my tastes and for what it offered and on top of that, almost never on sale. So when I saw a physical card for a far better deal, I knew I had to get it. The irony though? Shortly after I bought this, the Switch Digital store put ARMS on sale. But it still wasn’t anywhere near a good deal as the physical card I ordered so I still made the right call in the end. Love the game and my sibling does as well. Definitely a fun time and I am so glad I got the actual card instead of buying it on the Digital Store. ... show more

The Good: -Graphics are beautiful
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
When I picked my top 5 games of 2017, ARMS ranked at #3, with Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey ranking above it. The Good: -Graphics are beautiful, characters are interesting to look at. -Single player mode has a lot to do, if you are inclined to master each fighter and take them through every difficulty in Grand Prix. -The game rewards you with badges which appear once certain accomplishments have been achieved. There's little in the way of hints as to what they may be, so it is always a surprise. -The music is exceptional - I often just let the title screen loop for a while before starting. -Gameplay is not dependent on memorizing a large sequence of buttons as in games like Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat. Due to the simplicity of pulling off moves, the outcome is generally dependent on who is faster and more cunning. In other words, you are never going to face someone that has spent time memorizing all the moves, and thus be at a disadvantage. -The online experience is extremely fun, with a variety of fights. As an example, there is a boss called "Hedlock" which can be more difficult to deal with than an experienced human player. The Bad: -It's not a boring game. This will not be appealing to people that like to be bored. ... show more

Good, not great. Short lifespan.
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Arena Fighting games are some of my favorite out there. I’ve been following Virtua-On since the Arcade/Saturn days, The Shonen jump series, even One Must Fall battlegrounds. ARMS is a good game, a good one but not great. For the casual player it doesn't feel like it has much to offer in depth, particularly in the single player mode. The motion control scheme is fun for awhile. But you might feel you get better mobility by placing the joycon in the grip, or using a Pro-controller, even if you lose some of the accuracy of bending both arms at once. It’s fast paced and there are enough arm types to keep combat interesting. A lot of the game is skill, but a large amount also relies on what kind of arms you bring to the battle. The characters are great, and their individual abilities, and designs are good, even fro such a small roster (10). People who are playing two player will have a fun time for awhile with the split joycon scheme, and split screen, but I think it will tire pretty quickly once you find out who is better than who. There are fun mini game modes to play, but I feel like they also get boring quickly, or in the case of the volleyball mode, get frustrating. Overall this is a fun game, but it doesn't feel deep, and isn’t worth your $60, I recommend picking it up for when it’s closer to $20 to $30. I don’t feel it has a lot of longevity, and I that my friend and I got bored of each thing that it had quickly. I could see picking it up for quick matches and putting it down several times through a night of gaming, but unlike others, I just don’t think it carries. To summarize this all up, it’s a good game, but I don’t think ARMS has legs. ... show more
