Early Access Review
This is a good game. I didn't like it, but it's good.

It's a historycal child of "Fighting is magic" game, which was a fanmade MLP (My Little Pony) themed project. Since fans had lots of problems with Hasbro owning the franchise, they decided to ask for Loren Faust's help and make their own fighting with lots of references and their own magic. If you play this game you see that they succeseeded in that task. There is actually much more than original game could give you.

Pros:
+ Amazing artstyle by Loren Faust herself
+ Great music
+ All of a sudden it's a freaking multiplayer thing! Amazing!
+ Animation and sound quality levels are high
+ Even though it's an realy access game it has almost everything you wanna see in fighting
+ Very user-friendly (because you gotta share, you gotta care) pixel lobby with lots of servers with actual non-toxic people on them and fun little things and clothes with descriptions

Cons:
- My personal problem was in controls: I can't play with joystick and keyboard controls are stiff and uneasy, even less easy is to adjust them, simply because there is no "Disable second player" option.
- Game has her ancestor's problem in menu - it's not easy to choose a color palette when there is no strict and straightforward explanation what options you have and you end up scrolling those colors forever. I am just being dumb here, this is really a super minor con that affects just me probably.
- As it is made by mane6 and it's a MLP-based (in the past) game, there are only 6 characters and I doubt there will be many more
- AI will kick your bottom. It's horryfying in it's OP-ness.

It's really good, yet unfinished and doesn't suit me, sadly. I had to refund this game. I will probably buy it when it comes out of Early Access state, but not now.

You might like it tho, so see for yourself.
