Everyone loves beat em’ ups. What can be better than walking around aimlessly in an arena, beating up dozens of hapless and somewhat dumb enemies with an absolute disregard for the amount of destruction caused? Combo Crew does just that.

An insignificant and cliche storyline with zilch originality aside, Combo Crew has plenty to offer. The game has users scale up a tower with each level representative of levels, taking out goons with simplistic controls. As levels pass by, players also get to exchange blows with bosses which are significantly harder but also significantly more enjoyable to beat up.

As far as the controls go, Combo Crew makes it extremely easy. Simple swipe and tap at the screen to unleash a myriad of flashy combos; hence the title of the game. The funky animations will leave players dazzled.

One aspect of the game that really piqued my interest would be how the game incorporated fight characters from classical games. These include characters from the Street Fighter and Viewtiful Joe series of games, amidst others. It provides a soothingly familiar sense of nostalgia when playing this game and does help ease into the new environment somewhat. Add in upgradeable characters and Combo Crew is a formula for my new addiction.

All in all Combo Crew is an amazing game that I really enjoyed. Priced at $1.99, I found it quite reasonable and definitely worth the purchase.

Read the Developer's Notes:
In a world where a fist to the face is a perfectly viable solution, Mr. Boss has it all. Now he wants to break the greatest fighters ever!

Inspired by classics like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and Street Fighter, Combo Crew is pure rumble with no virtual buttons to mess up your moves.

Touch controls are smooth, responsive, and easy to learn: one-finger swipe to punch / kick, tap to counter, and two-finger swipes for special combos. When your super combo gauge fills up, all hell breaks loose—beat down the bad guys with hectic in-your-face combo streaks!

Play this action-packed brawler alone or call in your whole crew! You can rescue online friends from KO (or have them rescue you) and compete for high scores on global leaderboards. Quick melee brawls in arena-style levels make Combo Crew perfect for intense bursts of gaming on the go. But with hundreds of missions, unlockables, and an endless mode, you’ll keep coming back for more.
