King of Meat Reviews
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."
With its barmy riff on a medieval dungeoneering game show, there's something very likeable about the odd world of King of Meat. The platforming, puzzling and combat is a bit too woolly for my tastes, lacking a bit of staying power, but with UGC gaming more relevant than ever, King of Meat provides a great onramp for players to explore their creativity in a constrained setting.
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.

In a sector saturated with games-as-a-service and where it's hard to stand out, we like that King of Meat focuses on creativity, elaborate level designs, and a focus on single-player gameplay. Whether this will be enough to keep it on top for months will depend on the public's reaction, of course.

King of Meat thankfully doesn't take itself seriously and provides good fun for friends that want to cooperate (or compete) in stages together.
King of Meat does a lot of things right, with its fun gameplay and co-op action that provides short, sharp hits of chaotic fun. It's a game that makes you want to keep coming back.
King of Meat is a fun cooperative experience with the potential to become even better, provided it receives the necessary support from the developer to improve the progression system and has an active community to keep the game updated with new scenarios.

King of Meat offers cooperative fun in dungeons that mix platforming, action, and puzzles in a very unique way. However, its progression and continuity depend entirely on how the community chooses to use the title itself and its level editor.

King of Meat is a serviceable co-op dungeon crawler that's best played with friends. Combined with a generous monetization model and plenty of replay value for $29.99, it shows a lot of potential for growth. However, entering a saturated multiplayer market, the game's greatest risk is failing to attract a consistent player base. Its unique aesthetic and player-made dungeons are its best hope for avoiding the worst-case scenario of being quickly abandoned.
King of Meat serves up a colorful and chaotic dose of fun, especially with friends at the table. But beneath its cheerful façade lies shallow gameplay and repetitive dungeons, making the flavor fade all too quickly.

King of Meat is a fantastic party game for people who like to work together, have large creation tools, and like chaos. It might leave players wanting more if they're looking for strategic battles, real progress, or long-lasting solo play.
King of Meat is an original mix of chaotic party game, challenging dungeon crawler and wonderfully over-the-top game show production. The game impresses with its unique atmosphere, quirky setting and plenty of co-operative fun for friends. Minor weaknesses in the balancing and controls may spoil the overall impression a little, but they hardly matter. In the end, what remains is a creative, funny and surprisingly profound title that brings a breath of fresh air to the genre

King of Meat delivers bloody fun and dark humor in a chaotic action-platformer. With community dungeons, co-op mayhem, and biting satire, it’s a twisted but entertaining show.
King of Meat is best described as a chaotic cooperative game. Its mix of platforming, humor, absurd violence, and creative tools makes it an entertaining way to spend an evening with friends.

King of Meat is a splendid way to while away the hours with a few friends as you dash through devilishly designed dungeons in a never-ending quest for fame and fortune.
King of Meat delivers a chaotic game show experience where teamwork with friends and community creativity are key to success. Its level creation mode is robust and fun, allowing players to bring wild ideas to life. However, the heavy reliance on multiplayer limits its appeal for those who prefer solo play. Glowmade nails the cartoony aesthetic, humor, and community-driven potential, but falls short with repetitive progression and underwhelming modes outside of co-op. As such, King of Meat stands out as a great title for those seeking fun with friends, but may disappoint players looking for a solo challenge. With so many co-op games on the market, King of Meat risks being quickly forgotten. Time will tell.
