Ultimate Arena: Showdown

Ultimate Arena: Showdown is a simulation game developed and published by Triverske, and released on Steam as an early access game on February 24, 2018. it is a sequel to the 2016 simulator game Ultimate Arena.

The game has been drastically changed from its prequel due to it using 3D models to represent various characters instead of small icons. However, it is considered to be inferior to its prequel.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The character customization, which was the main selling point of the original Ultimate Arena, has gone to waste, as the character customization is only limited to small 3D avatars with only 2-3 choices of hairstyle and limited customization choices. Even the avatar images from the first game are absent.
 * 2) No map customization features, every map is randomly generated. The map is also smaller in size than the previous game and looks ugly looking as well.
 * 3) Clunky animations. When a character moves and is facing another character, the character's animation cannot catch up with the notification.
 * 4) You cannot interact with your characters in Battle Royale mode like in the first game.
 * 5) Disappointing ending. When there's only one character left, an announcement text of the winner pops up, with no damage statistic, no kill counts and no ranking whatsoever.
 * 6) As the game is in early access stage, the developer has promised that many features will be polished and the game will released in September 2018. However, most feature in the beta version were not improved.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Minigames were added, making the game actually have gameplay.
