Supreme Duelist is a unique and little-offering fighting game that sacrifices complexity for fun in the best way. It's not like most fighting games where you have to spend hours learning button inputs to execute ultimate moves, this game is simple and allows you to quit out of matching waiting times. Simple controls — restricted to basic movement, jumping and one attack button — allow for a level playing field in which skill develops through creativity rather than learning combos. It's this accessibility that makes it ideal for the more casual player and yet, there's pretty surprising depth for those willing to get under the hood a little.

The game's appeal is in its unpredictable physics engine which makes each battle a laugh-out-loud event. But characters launch, flip and crash into one another in the most exaggerated manners, turning battles into slapstick comedy routines. Whether you're adopting a rival out off a cliff with a quick push or face-planting to a humiliating defeat, the dumbass will get the best of your giggles. This playful randomness also seems to mean no two fights unfold the same way, even when you come back to repeat a stage or face an opponent, which helps keep things fresh, something you don't often get in games with simple mechanics.

Another element of Supreme Duelist's success has been customization. Players can also make their warriors don silly hats and superhero capes and mix matching sets of weapons (swords or inflatable hammers). The game's workshop delivery mode takes this even further, allowing you to build your own with traps, moving platforms, environmental hazards and so on. With this much creative flexibility, you'll be inspired to make your own challenges, build your own dreams or design the next hit when your friends report back with new, emergent solutions that never even crossed your developer mind.

Multiplayer is where the game really shines. In local and online modes, four players turn living rooms or virtual lobbies into chaotic battlegrounds. Without hard and fast rules, and without health bars to deplete, matches can disintegrate into full-blown brawls as collaborators and adversaries get lost in mayhem.

Supreme Duelist is some goofy and childlike looking art with a very vivid soundtrack that overall adds a goofy charm that the game does have. Enthusiastic music, splashy colors and exaggerated designs shroud a colorful world that feels like a cartoon brought to life. From seasonal events to fan-made mods, there is always going to be a weekly rotation of fun and madness.
