Christophe Parker, GIZORAMA - "Growing up with Supersmash Bros., Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and then the arcade four player games of The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Avengers, I have had quite the extraordinary relationship with button mashing, stress inducing, free-for-all fighting games. Finding the right combinations for a character’s special moves and watching in awe as your avatar hurls lightning, throws a boomerang or blows up someone’s head is always satisfying. And so, being able to choose your character from a list of four to thirty or more is exciting because of all the different moves and play styles each character has to offer. Interabang Entertainment’s Super Comboman, however, is a hybrid of sorts which mixes the playing styles of a multitude of arcade games and the Mario series, but only gives you one character to play. At first this seems like something Super Comboman can hurdle over, but unfortunately as you continue to play the game, a variety of glitches, bugs, and strange design choices plague Super Comboman’s lighthearted and silly, albeit all too often clunky, punch fest."
If your two favorite genres are Metroidvanias and fighters like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, Super Comboman might be your next favorite game of all time. Like the title of this article suggests, Super Comboman takes the best aspects from both to create a unique experience told in a quirky Anime art style.

Adult Swim Games had a pretty awesome booth at PAX Prime this year where they were able to showcase some interesting games. I was able to get my hands on Super Comboman, Westerado: Double Barrelled, and Rain World and get a good preview of what each one had to offer.
I had a good amount of playtime with three of Adult Swim’s upcoming games, and while there were a few rough edges to each, I am definitely aware of their sheer potential.
