SuperMash Reviews
Supermash's promise of a limitless supply of genre mashed games can't mask their shallow, repetitive, and uninteresting gameplay.
SuperMash is a great idea that feels squandered thanks to poor execution.
Unfortunately, SuperMash is a game where the concept is better than the execution. While the spritework and chiptunes are nice, the gameplay holds the whole thing back; a big problem when the gameplay is supposed to be the main feature. Ironically, the mashed-up games usually end up being less than the sum of their parts.
SuperMash is an unfortunate example of a concept working better on paper than in execution. Whilst the mashing system is fun to mess around with and watch the first few times, that magic quickly wears off and all you're left with is the poorest imitations of great game genres.

While some of the mashes show some fun combinations of genre tropes, the majority of what you'll play in SuperMash is a bit of a mess.
My time with SuperMash was interesting, to say the least. Some mashups were extremely fun, while others were just boring. I have to say it is a game that is going to give you a different experience almost every time you play, and while story mode isn't too intriguing, I can't say fully it is a bad game. That said, I couldn't say that it is an amazing game either. The concept was a valid attempt of an idea, however many times; the mashes felt bland. As it sits even with the promise of DLC, I'm not sure it is worth the asking price of $19.99.
SuperMash has an intriguing concept but the execution - the several genre "mashes" you make and play - are uninteresting and shallow.
Presenting SuperMash. The classics have gotten a facelift for 2021 in this medley inspired game. Create your own unique and randomized assortments in all your favourite genres, perfect for old and new gamers alike. I couldn't put this one down!
SuperMash is a unique concept – what do you get when you smush together two different genres of games? In this case, a mixed bag.
Imagine playing a Zelda game where Link can only swing his sword once every two seconds! There are dozens of cards to unlock that can let you customize the characters, environments, and even music of a given Mash, but these are mostly single use and still don't make for a very fun time. There may very well be countless Mashes you can produce with the tools on offer, but they aren't different enough from one another. If you're curious and don't mind a variety of fairly shallow experiences, you might consider SuperMash-ing the eShop purchase button. Otherwise, maybe stick to the Monster Mash.
An awesome game premise will only get you so far and unfortunately, SuperMash doesn't really live up to its clever foundation.
Featured in one of the Indie World Directs, Supermash seemed like one of those titles that could go either way...

SuperMash show a lot of interesting ideas with its gameplay, but after a long time of play some of its mechanics can feel dated or might go to common places which affects its efficiency in the long run.

Supermash will inevitably go down in the annals of gaming history as wasted potential. It presents itself with a can’t miss the concept, but manages to miss on all accounts.
SuperMash is a unique and ambitious title that does some things right but at the expense of many other elements of the game

All in all, SuperMash succeeds because, even though it might have some flaws in its technical department, it’s still a fantastic idea that leaves a lot of room for experimentation and replayability. I have already played more than fifty mishmashes and I feel I have only scratched the surface of what this game has to offer.
SuperMash is a real mess when it comes to playing and creating games. Most mixes are so random that sometimes orders and scripts contradict each other and make it unplayable. The story mode does not contribute anything and the way to share levels with other users is not appropriate for a game of this type. The effort is appreciated, but cannot be recommended in these conditions.
