Our take on Super ComboMan: Smash Edition
The emphasis on rapid 2D fighting leaves less room for exploration and broader role-playing systems. Progression centers on adding techniques and perks to Struggles’ combat options rather than managing a wider party or equipment set.
What is Super ComboMan: Smash Edition?
Super ComboMan: Smash Edition is a colorful 2D beat ’em up with fighting-game-inspired combat.
Players control Struggles as he battles DoDoCo thugs and large bosses across vibrant, destructible levels. The combat system includes attacks, counters, forward dashes, air and ground combos, and enemy juggling. Defeated enemies provide cash for new techniques, including an air dash, fire uppercut, and dive kick. Players can also unlock combo-based perks such as Infinite Smash and Heal Parry. The story follows Struggles, a working-class hero trying to keep a roof over his and his brother’s heads. Its presentation uses a sticker-based art style, while the cast includes Struggles’ talking fanny pack companion, Flappy.
