the visuals imo are a really good translation from the 2d animations to a 3d space where it expands in obvious ways without taking away or minimizing the source material's style at all.
very good review I agree with you on almost everything, except for the music, I have listened to almost the entire soundtrack of the game and I have to say that most of the music is incredible, only one or two songs seemed ok but I guess everyone has different tastes in music, good vide
Awesome review! I honestly agree with everything you say about the game. Also thx for letting me know about the whole enemy-on-green thing. Gonna try that when I replay the game lol
Dude I have to say this year has been great for my childhood. I found out madness got this game, then The Last Stand got Aftermath two weeks ago... I grew up playing and watching both series on newgrounds and I can't say how happy it makes me to see both get full-release entries that lovingly stay true to the source material. Even if it does make me forget what year it is.
I used to be a big fan as a teenager but I only saw a few weeks sgo on steam recently. There was no actual review of it on yt so boom. I tried to be as objective as possible to rate it fairly.
@@rhoku yea i tried the game first thing i hopped on was arena cause it was the best thing in the flash game lmao, great video though really captulates the point of these violent games like hm
"a string of loosely connected excuses for you to just massacre rooms and rooms of agents" Been a fan of Madness since the beginning and that is absolutely fair,
Good review, i have to say though, I think the artstyle looks really cool and unique, and I would say it is one of the games strongpoints. Also, the vast majority of the games soundtrack is amazing and the few that aren't are just ambient like cheesy gym, cheesy mall or hq, which, at that, serve their purpose well. Anyway, cool video, good job.
As a long time madness fan and playing the original madness project nexus, I feel blessed to see how all of those wacky stories full of violence became one of my favorite games
Yeah they should make a better tutorial, the tutorial level gives adequate info, but not enough It just shows you what button to press basically I think the best example would be the Shift to aim higher, it doesn't show anywhere in the tutorial that you can use this to headshot, You just shoot a stopsign Also the big guy take downs, he comes into the room permanently in Takedown state It doesn't tell you what to do to actually get them into that state
I don't agree with what you said about the visuals of the game. In my opinion, the visuals are the most unique and interestingly cool artstyle in a video game like this that I have ever seen.
This game has a flash predesessor. So its a second game in the series that continues a different storyline from cartoons, as the first one did. As a fan of madness combat this was a game i was waiting for and didnt get dissapointed. But if you arent a fan, this game is still the best way to know madness from games(and get to slaughter hundreds of enemies with kick ass soundtrack). I still reccomend to watch the cartoons as they are worth it. The game is a masterpiece of desighn and as a person who gets bored fast of doing one thing over and over i passed the arena mode 4 times, and that tells me something about replayability. Thanks for shining some light on this game as it deserves it.
The second arena mode bus mission has a room with 2 or 3 mafia guys inside, if you kill all 3 stealthly the others won't appear. I found it out by throwing that axe on each of them
The armored enemies are somewhat an omage to the original Project Nexus Flash Game, it doesn't teaches you how to deal with it, you were only taught how to shoot and how to use the slow mo feature but when it comes to the armored enemy, the game just lets you how to deal with it. It doesn't spoon feeds the player how to do everything, just do what comes natural.
I personaly think I got my 20 bucks worth after finishing arena for the first time and don't really care for story mode because I don't find it fun and its not in the same universe as the flash series
"If a video game makes a brave artistic statement but it is a piece of shit to play then it is objectively a piece of shit game" I am sorry but if you think games should be "fun-centric" you don't actually *want* games. You want toys. Nothing wrong with wanting toys, I love toys, I got 1.6k hours on PayDay 2 and that game is pure mindless fun, but saying that a game has to be "fun" to be good or else it is objectively bad is the equivalent of someone who thinks that if a movie is slower than the average Marvel blockbuster that means that movie is objectively unwatchable. PayDay 2 is very fun however the experience will never compete in quality with the hours I spent pondering over and discussing the message and themes of games like Spec Ops: The Line, Hotline Miami, Prey, Undertale and Dark Souls. Those games might have fun gameplay (spec ops the line is considered quite rough about the edges by many but regardless) however what makes those games above average is the deep thought that was put into them, their artistic value, their themes, their *soul* if you will, a soul that is not fun-centric but rather centered around a vision deeper than making the average gamer have some fun for a few hours. Also I would like to point out the fact that very rarely a game comes along that makes a groundbreaking statement while also being a piece of shit to play. If someone wanted to make a walking simulator packed with their own philosophical ramblings, that wouldn't be artistic but self masturbatory and pretentious. But lets entertain that idea. If a game is "bad" on purpose or due to a lack of funding while having an (actually) groundbreaking artistic message, why is that game "objectively a piece of shit". What is "objective" about a value judgement? Did some higher heavenly authority deem any piece of media "objectively a piece of shit"? I truly missed the memo of value judgements somehow becoming objective.
Glad you got a kick out of it!

It aint perfect but its so good
Great Review man. Almost covered everything a good review needs. Also the music montage was dope.
Epic
Bro did you just call 30 year old game reviewers Boomers? Boomers are people in their fucking 60's-80's dude lmao.
9:58 I like to think that's the Improbability drive doing weird shit
Just like how it does in the Madness Combat canon
the visuals imo are a really good translation from the 2d animations to a 3d space where it expands in obvious ways without taking away or minimizing the source material's style at all.
A solid review with a well-researched message 💪

@@rhoku Dude Madness Combat is still getting entries. Shit has gotten wild and I think we're finally reaching the end of Hank's storyline.

Love the fact that Marshmallow madness is canon now, I think
Great video, would love to see more of your opinions on games and more content outside of league!
I appreciate all of my viewers. Especially those willing to give a chance to any non league content. Thanks!
Second comment POG CHAMP I was sleeping so ez
I think the visuals are amazing, but otherwise I agree with everything. I'd give it a solid 9/10 imo

“Today we’ll be talking about this cute little game”
Me who has completed the entire campaign: really? Is it cute?
Yeah they should make a better tutorial, the tutorial level gives adequate info, but not enough
It just shows you what button to press basically
I think the best example would be the Shift to aim higher, it doesn't show anywhere in the tutorial that you can use this to headshot, You just shoot a stopsign
Also the big guy take downs, he comes into the room permanently in Takedown state
It doesn't tell you what to do to actually get them into that state
You can get some surprisingly good tips from the loading screen
Personal preference, I'd like the video to be a bit more condensed, but aside from that, this is a super solid review.
I don't agree with what you said about the visuals of the game. In my opinion, the visuals are the most unique and interestingly cool artstyle in a video game like this that I have ever seen.
I loved this video. Honestly, I enjoy this far more than league content. And I'm pretty excited to see the next video with this type of content!

In personally disagree with your opinions on the graphics. I think the style of the game is actually really good and pleasing to the eye.
Good review but as a madness combat fan I will say the story mode was a bit more fun cause of the new story (it’s not canon to the cartoon)
4:35 it also has a damage buff.
8:05 but there is literally a tutorial mission on the title screen.
I’m disappointed. Hank has 2/3, and you walked past the heal.
H3VR is all ready the perfect madness combat game

Cool reference at the end
Htf do j Exite out of the game?
I can't exit out of the match
Gonna get my gaming laptop and gonna buy the game finaly
I personaly think I got my 20 bucks worth after finishing arena for the first time and don't really care for story mode because I don't find it fun and its not in the same universe as the flash series
It is considered canon though
@@jalk12 two seperate canons tho
@@souptime23What do you mean ? in the second game Hank said of had killed Hofnar, while Jeb and Hofnar tried killing Hank before
@@jalk12 I mean the animations and games
@@souptime23 They are the same canon
8:11 well because u didn’t play the training mission first
The training mission is ass
God we need this on console
Great Video :D
Arena is for people who perfure endless enemies story is for people who like run and gun games
Really looking forward to more of these. I feel like I can trust your reviews.
Nice one! I did a review on this game too!
I think you did a great review of this game!
Nice review, keep in that way :)
nice vid man, keep going

Stop the swearing
This was a year ago. I've since cut down on the swearing significantly unless I am irritated.
