Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 159 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (2,446 of 2,753 positive).
Some reviewers note the novelty wears off quickly due to janky controls. [1][2][3] The game is praised for its fast-paced, physics-based combat and unique art style. [4][5][6]

Doodle blob pvp with physics. You play a blob, fighting another blob and trying to smack them around with a stick. It was fun for a few minutes and I suppose if you have friends and don't own any other games you could make this work. But any fun you're having is from hanging out with your friends, not because the game did anything really interesting. Maybe I'm just spoiled from having seen these types of games for …

This game should be way waaaay more popular than it is, but there are downsides for example having to pay for each different dlc pack that unlocks 3 or 4 other characters for you. I feel that if you paid for the game the characters should all be free otherwise it should just be a free to play game and the only thing to pay for would be cosmetics that aren't pay to win just for appearances ie cosmetic reasons nothing …

Wanba Warriors presents itself as a straightforward game initially, yet delves into complexity upon deeper exploration, offering a PvP encounter that proves highly addictive. It's undeniably a must-have, particularly for enthusiasts of this genre. While the absence of a 2v2 mode or ranked matches may disappoint some, it's important to recognize the constraints of an indie game. Nonetheless, the 1v1 combat and …

Wanba warriors is an action packed fighting game with interesting mechanics which make for a funny experience. my favourite character is the ninja because he is stealthy just like how i want to be when im in public due to my anxiety that everyone is watching me, which makes me very nervous and shaky and it reminds me of before the divorce when my wife was relying on me to make ends meet... I really enjoyed the …

Players who liked Wanba Warriors talk about fast-paced and dynamic battles with funny characters; those who didn't talk about predatory DLC policy with many paid character packs. Which matters more to you?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun little game, but I dont like the DLC policy. The game plus all Characters now costs 15 € and content wise, that is a horrible deal. You can get amazing games with dozens hour of unique content for 15 €. In comparison, this game simply feels like a cash grab now.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The weird ink-blot art style and goofy ragdoll physics make for a hilarious first twenty minutes, but the novelty fades fast. Combat is all about swinging weapons using momentum, which ends up feeling more like you're fighting the janky controls rather than outsmarting your opponent. There’s barely any content here, the characters are wildly unbalanced, and the online mode is a ghost town. It’s funny for a quick laugh with a buddy, but that’s about it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 silly little combat game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ironically, it's a fine physics based brawler for an evening. But for the base price you only get 8 poorly drawn sprites and every other line of poorly drawn sprites is another buck on top. Thus the final price for the product is way too high for what it is. Dead or Alive monetization approach is cancer. At least it has a demo.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not really a fan. This seems like a good idea, but I'm not sold on the execution. The game itself feels bland and monotonous, with some sound effects dotted around to accompany you. The controls feel flimsy and awkward (gamepad, don't bother with a keyboard, they've recommended it for a reason), and dull. You're acutely aware that you're swinging one stick around. 6 characters included, the rest are DLC. Not sure how I feel about the ratio there, but the differences don't do much for me…

It's undeniably a must-have, particularly for enthusiasts of this genre. While the absence of a 2v2 mode or ranked matches may disappoint some, it's important to recognize the constraints of an indie game. Nonetheless, the 1v1 combat and inclusion of bots remain compelling and engrossing for extended play sessions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this for free off Fanatical and I still want my money back. "Wanba Warriors" is a simple handheld ported (Nintendo Switch) fighter/versus game with a simple gimmick, it uses clunky physics as the core combat element. You have a comically large weapon and must spin it around slowly, lifting it (or having it lift you) while you try to smack it into your opponent. Despite being an objectively terrible game, it went viral, mostly because it's "so bad it's good", but I'll never recommend…

There are no strikes as such, if you get into motion - cool, if not - sucker, there is a special strike on F and ults on G, it all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, very fun Edit: This is the best fighting game, better than MK, better than Smash, better than Tekken, Wanba is the only way Edit 2: The balance of characters is great, all characters are very good, fun to play, and competitive. The game is pretty easy to learn quick aswell. Radish is awful tho, only bad character, just all around useless

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun fighting game to coutch play versus friends, but it has predatory monetisation for DLC character packs. Base game offers only like 5 playable characters, and than you need to pay 5x ~3€ for bundles of ~4 characters to unlock all characters.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has a short lifespan to it, not to mention its lack of variety. It's far too boring of an experience alone and not something I'd enjoy with friends.

The concept is fun, and it surely can be fun for an hour or 2 to fight with friends, but that's it. The multiplayer is kinda dead, the discord server kinda as well, though I'm sure if you look long enough you will find someone to play with, but that's the problem. Without the multiplayer the game has little to offer and after 40 minutes I struggle to find a reason to keep playing it, which means for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly this game just needs characters that you should be able to unlock without pulling out a credit card. Aside from that the game is fun but again it can get repeptitive when you only get like 5% of the characters
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanba Warriors is an unconventional multiplayer arena fighter developed by Wanba Studio and BigYu and published by Wanba Studio. Rather than following the traditional path of competitive fighting games filled with complex combos and technical mechanics, it embraces a more chaotic and lighthearted approach. The game's central concept revolves around warriors wielding oversized brushes as weapons, transforming every battle into a humorous spectacle where timing, positioning, and a bit of luck can…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun time flailing around with a mallet, which is used to both hit your opponent and move around. Recommended at a discount. Needs more updates, like new maps (there's only one), improved controls (especially for mnk), more balanced characters (many do damage too easily/can't be countered), custom match modifiers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a cash-grab. I had a lot of fun for 1 hour, and by that time I already beaten the arcade mode and played with all variations of characters with my friend. The base game is extremely limited with its character selection and unlike many fighting games in this one you feel almost forced to buy character packs, which for such a cheaply made game are overpriced. They didn't even bother to make the game work properly, it was quite a challenge to start a match with my friend as…
