ABRACA - Imagic Games

Action

Developer Ankama Studio

Imagi is the country where fairy tale characters live, with its bad guys and damsels in distress. So much so that becoming prince charming is a treacherous path where the gloves really come off! Two, three or four players all pretend to be princes who must survive a series of challenges! From the Steam store page

    Played this game today for the first time with my two nephews. We had a lot of fun until the game decided to crash after 30 minutes, near the end of the first castle, just when I was winning. Restarted the game, only to discover that it has no save function, so you would have to restart all over. Unacceptable for a party game. Checked the steam forums, one other complaint about a crashing game, one other complaint …

    Since i see no really usefull reviewers, I decided to give you guys one. This is actually a really good party game, but ONLY a party game! This game is probably one of the best Local games out there. I don't know how the heck the others managed to rate this game after playing for like 20 minutes, but think i tried it enough to give it a rating. There are three modes: Race, Arena and Challenge mode. The race mode is …

    Underneath the cutesy graphics lies a game that actually takes skill to play. Abraca really is the perfect party game. Think of it as a little bit of a mix between Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party. Then, be a little forgiving, as the creators neither had the budget of those two AAA games, nor the price tag. Each player controls both a prince, and a princess, but not at the same time. Each princess is placed in a …

    ABRACA truly is an excellent party game. It offers longer rounds than many other local multiplayer games out there, without taking as long as something like mario party. ABRACA also offers a switch up to the standard mini-game formula typically offered by party games. Players take turns racing through a segmented large map, and the other players are ghosts which can opperate monsters and machinery in the level. The …

    Fast and fun party game, but really holy jabibas, online multiplayer should have been a must 7/\10 with friend but could have been a solid 8/10 with online multiplayer

    This is an unfair review as I did not play the game. Why? I have 5 PlayStation 4 controllers but it seems that they are not compatible. This game looks great and I was really excited to play it but I do not want to buy 4 xbox controllers for this one game. I hope that this can be fixed. Sorry for the thumbs down but I have bought a game that I cannot play at the moment.

    This game is really bad. It's a great concept and the character designs are really great. There's a lot of effort that went into making this game very artistically apealling but the mechanics and design are really hard to deal with. There are many different game modes and you can tell a lot of effort went into their design but it tries to be too much and gets spread too thin. The controls are incredibly clunky despite how easy they are to work with. A lot of the game modes are incredibly…

    Amazing and fun party game! It's like a mix of Crawl, Smash, and Castle Crashers. I just wish there were unlockable costumes, levels, or characters to incentivize continued play. I would really love to see new charcters or costumes! :) You are doing an amazing job so far!

    Why am I playing this? What am I doing with my life? What have I become? If you like party-type gameplay, you probably already have a console with Mario Party or similar big-name titles that you're already playing. If, somehow, you're a party-game aficionado who has no access to those better-known games, you could play this, I guess. There are worse games. If you're sitting alone wondering how you turned into a near-inanimate lump of carbon compounds, playing games you don't care about…

    This game is a very unique asymmetrical multiplayer versus game. I don't know if I would say it's incredibly fun though. The game works and everything but it's a very draining party game. The main race mode takes a very long time to complete, much like a Mario Party session that has way too many turns. There's some good fun in this game but I personally will not recommend it, I think there are better party-versus games to turn to.

    The art is cute and the mechanics are fun! We really had a very fun night playing it with friends + it was nice to play with different teams. I think it has a good replay value for the next video game nights.

    This game is really great. Played it 4 players with my wife and nephews on the steam link. We laughed and yelled a lot. This is one of those games that will make you angry at your friends so if you are a particularly volatile bunch maybe try a different game. Really not sure why I hadn't heard of this before, it's a very fun idea and has great visuals.

    I really liked this game, a great party game that alternates between platformer and smash like battles. The best part of the game is when you are hindering the active player in the platforming parts, really fun with 3 or 4 players.

    Very good game, a mix of CRAWL and Super Smash Bros, very nivelly animated. Minimum 2 players to play, 4 players is the best by far.

    How did I get this so cheaply in a bundle?! I'm always on the lookout for 4-player local games to play with my three sons, and this one is so creative. It kind of mashes a few different games and ideas together and is really a blast to play. Think Smash Bros (or more closely Megabyte Punch) + Awesomenauts + Fat Princess + Mario Party... I don't know, but I enjoyed it. :)

    I'm an idiot and didn't realize this was best played with a few friends couch-style. Double-entendre. Anyway, Good company, cute game, feels like they tried to do a mix of SSMB and Speedrunners. Not bad. 6/10 if solo, 8/10 with friends.
