Critic Reviews
The following reviews are used to calculate the overall reception for this game. All applicable scores are converted to our simplified rating system based on the specifics offered by each publication or the tone of each review. You can read more about how we do this here.
February 13, 2012 - Mediocre - It takes a picture of your face and turns you into a beat-em-up character, with which you can fight across real-world environments - like your desk and the toilet. It's hardly Street Fighter. [...] If Reality Fighters achieves anything, it's not showing us how well beat-em-up's work on PS Vita, but how good its camera and motion controls are.
February 13, 2012 - Mediocre - As a proof of concept, Reality Fighters is convincing, but it's sub-par as a high-priced fighting game, trailing the competition and offering novelty in place of substance. Augmented reality on Vita has been proven as a viable tool, so now it just needs to be applied to a more suitable genre than the 2D fighter to truly exploit its potential.
February 21, 2012 - Mediocre - If you're looking for a gaming experience to keep you engaged for weeks to come, then, this reality may prove a sobering one. But if the engaging novelty of the experience appeals, there are laughs to be had if you're prepared to tolerate the technical eccentricities.
February 20, 2012 - Mediocre - Just like Little Deviants, this easily could have been a free incentive to those who buy the new handheld. Reality Fighters is a missed opportunity, and despite its sense of humor, amounts to nothing more than a boxed tech-demo.
February 13, 2012 - Mediocre - For all the cooing and laughter Reality Fighters raised with its pasting of our faces onto characters, with its making thin men into fat women, with its augmented-reality backgrounds allowing us to fight anywhere, it all falls flat thanks to a fighting engine teetering on the brink of being downright bad.
February 13, 2012 - Mediocre - Its fighting game stablemates offer more tactical complexity and depth. Combined with the lacklustre sound design and vanilla mode types, Reality Fighters is an awesome proof of concept but a bland game to play.
