Chibi Fighters, as implied by the name, is a PvP game where you put your warriors against others to see who comes out on top, while having this cutesy aesthetic. It’s definitely a game that has its charms and offers the players a bone to play even without dropping any ETH, but you’ll definitely have to take the good with the bad.
The biggest hurdle currently is its user experience and interface. Chibi Fighters doesn’t do a good job of telling players how to navigate and get around the abundant menus. A lot of it comes down to the player being curious rather than the game giving bread crumbs. You’ll have to get used to scrummaging through a lot of dropdown menus and going back and forth between them to get things done. Luckily, Chibi Fighters has its own wiki ad guides to help you get the ball rolling, but it’s a far cry from an optimal solution.
Chibi Fighters does, however, get it right in terms of news and updates. They are constant and always in the forefront so that you don’t miss anything, which is great for a game that is constantly evolving and developing. Not only that, but the game gives you quite a few options on how you can play the game. You can either be on mobile, PC, or even use an Xbox controller.
In terms of gameplay, things are straightforward where it all comes down to what you equip on your warrior and how you level them up. Strategy isn’t really the name of the game, but more on how you manage your resources and how you can acquire them. Of course, the more ETH you have and trading you do, the better your chances will be out there. The only problem being that acquiring these resources is quite convoluted.
There are many avenues to gain weapons and gear in Chibi Fighters. You have your PvP arenas, matches with friends, going out on quests, and so on and so forth. Each give their own rewards, with some having daily rewards on top of the drops. With so many avenues, you won’t know where to begin or where to end. An upside of course, is that you can pick an activity to do and just stick to one, but you will be holding yourself back from getting more out of the game.
Another aspect that should be added in the near future, and is now common with other games, is the presentation of the game in terms of visuals and even music. Because of this lack of presentation, it becomes more of a background game and something to only have as a supplementary activity. There isn’t any form of a hook to keep you in awe as you play and thus it takes away any potential time investment from the player.
Overall, Chibi Fighters has a lot of potential, but it’s still quite a ways away from reaching it. The simplicity of its aesthetic and mechanics are ultimately what holds it back, despite its positives. It’s great that players can experience the game for free and potentially earn a profit as well, but the hurdles players have to go through with convoluted menus and lack of bread crumbs hurts the overall experience and may turn players off despite the enticing free offerings. For now, if you’re completely lacking any options to get your dApp fix, then give Chibi Fighters a whirl. Otherwise, you’re better off elsewhere.
2.5/5
