Critic Reviews for King of Meat
Glowmade's King of Meat is a multiplayer-centric title with an interesting premise that ultimately wears out its welcome just a little too soon.
King of Meat is a game that fulfills a specific niche genre, aiming to provide a solid and entertaining party game experience for folks looking to play games with their friends. There's matchmaking and the potential to play solo, but the game at its core is much better with 1–3 others to play with.
The game doesn't have that lightning-in-a-bottle feel, and there's a genuine concern this game could be dead on arrival."
Glowmade has nailed the essentials: a fun, addictive co-op with a solid foundation to grow. The audiovisual presentation is superb, with animations that rival Adult Swim quality and outstanding voice acting work. Combat is accessible yet satisfying, and the dungeon creator has the potential to turn this into a phenomenon if the community responds. It's not perfect. Progression can get somewhat tedious at specific points, the base scenario variety might fall short in the long run, and the camera has its occasional issues. But these are minor gripes in an experience that, as a whole, works wonderfully.

King of Meat is the name given to a brutal game show, in which contestants gear up to hack hordes of hapless skeletons and other monsters to bits. Int...
