#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.
Rules:
1: No discrimination or hate speech.
2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer.
3: No political/religious talk or debate .
4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources.

This game's death still hurts 😭
Still😢😢😢
man this game was fun but it was a nightmare trying to get any friends to show interest in it because of the visuals alone. was a shame
Jes😢
My friend saw the furry costumes, and he uninstalled. It a really good game. That rewards skill.
the art style was act cool it was close to og fortnite graphics and i fw cartoony ahh shi
Don't judge a book by its cover 😔
Ngl, I tried liking it, but the art style was a huge turn-off. When a game can't grab you immediately by the gameplay, it doesn't hurt for it to be nice to look at and when it comes to custom characters, players need to be allowed to make either, cool, cute or funny... and if it's an Asian game, you can also make it sexy. But this game was just funny and not particularly good at it.
Anyway, see you in the Death of a Game for Rawmen.
This game JUST started to get interesting. A new map, people were learning how to do move combos and just overall it felt fun to run around and collect loot. It’s a shame this game failed...
It didn´t fail - it *got* failed
One of the best fighting games hands down an im not even a fighting game person but try them
loved Rumbleverse, played almost daily with my cousin summer 2022 - feb 2023 😢
It was a massive lack of marketing. Like Epic as publisher didn't even care as they got Fortnite and let RV die 😔
Still hoping for a comeback one day. Easily one of the best games of past years 🙏
So good!
Strange how you didn't mention Skip leggerday, this game's announcer.
That man was THE SHIT! If it weren't for his overwhelming charisma, i swear to god this game would've died even faster than it did now.
my god do i miss him.
That's the kind of puntastic name I'd expect from this. 😂 Me likey.
I played 800 rounds with the sound off
Best announcer ever
cringe
Im imagining skip voice as i read the comment
I played a bit over 1k matches and just barely squeaked out a slightly over 50% top 5 rate. There isn't a week I go by without missing RV. It went out at its best patch too. It introduced the final ring moving in a random direction towards one of the edges of the map, which instantly made every match feel way more unique because you wouldn't be stuck in one of the (admittedly many) predetermined final locations. That one change solved so many problems too. Turtling was an issue before that patch, but you can't just sit and block constantly when the ring is moving, and even if you try eventually you'll be out on the water anyway. It made a bunch of niche grabs, knockback specials, and movement specials actually worth taking because you'd know that inevitably you'd end up near an edge eventually instead of being landlocked like so many final rings were.
I also disagree with the idea there wasn't enough content, or that the game was a "wrestling" game instead of just a fighting game inspired by wrestling. They were adding in new items and specials every patch, they added a full new map like 2 patches before shutdown (which was also connected to the first map so sometimes you'd be on one, transition to the other, then get forced back again because of the ring moving), and people had tons of speculation on what would be coming in next (Chun-Li's kicks being a constant ask).
In my eyes the game simply was doomed to failure for one reason. Fighting games have terrible player retention baseline (for a lot of reasons I won't get into), and making a fighting game that's only online AND needs 25+ players just to field a single match is a recipe for disaster. They added bots to get queues going (thank god, before that it was 5+ minutes to find a match, after that it was rarely more than 1) but the bots are nowhere near as good as players of course, so that felt hollow for a lot of people. It took me a while to adjust, but I actually liked them by the end, they were basically free perks and just another resource to fight over like weapons or specials.
It doesn't help that the way the progression system worked meant that when you entered a new bracket you'd be pretty much entirely cut off from the previous one and that it was XP based instead of win/loss based so you'd inevitably be forced to progress. I'd hit a new bracket, load into a new match, and then get absolutely mollywhopped by the new level of competition for like 20+ matches in a row until I got my footing. People don't like losing like that, I'm pretty immune to it but even I felt discouraged, until I gitted gud it felt almost like getting punished for playing more.
Also, for some reason it never had a ranked queue. They probably couldn't afford to split the playerbase even further, but there was constant complaining about casuals being matched into killers, and a lot of people wanted a queue to really tryhard in as well.
I think if RV came back with say ~15 humans per match and 7~ bots instead of trying to fill a room full of 40 people, had the initial rings start 2 sizes smaller, and then just used a MMR system for matchmaking instead of having such strict divisions it'd be able to go a lot further. Maybe also use a less cartoony artstyle (or let people have way more access to cosmetics, because I saw a LOT of fun/cool outfits in the final patch because they let everyone use every item for free, there was an absolute epidemic of Peter Griffins lmao) too, idk.
But what I do know is that RV was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming (even the early patches where dive bomb nuking people from offscreen with weapons was wildly overpowered), and the gameplay itself was incredible, the patches were constantly making things better and increasing playstyle diversity, and Iron Galaxy were always amazing at responding to the players and improving the game. But never again will I get to bean someone with a homing chancla then combo them into a inazuma drop that slams them into the ground so hard they bounce off into the ocean for the KO, and that's a damn shame.
Also it was barely advertised and being stuck on the epic games store was pretty awful. Those both go a long way too lol.
Also, for some godforsaken reason even though the game had a pretty decent tutorial it was hidden in the "freeplay" mode and spread out across 3 locations on the map, with absolutely no indication that the tutorial existed until you decided to go to freeplay yourself.
I heavily agree with this, If you followed or did a bit more research into one of the people behind the development of the game that was pretty vocal (aka Keits) would know that this game wasn't necessarily a (wrestling adjacent) game.
Alot of the design mechanics along with the thought process was from a fighting game standpoint, although it most certainly brought out a bit of that crowd.
I think, alot of the problem is the art style but also in general this game came out at the wrong time. Gamers are finicky, and as what was mentioned earlier, fighting games have terrible retention. This game was honestly some of the best fun I'd had in a while, and don't get me wrong I can't stand the art style. However from the wrestling aspect alot of the moves they got were amazing and as someone who grew up on the wrestling games, fighting games this was perfect in that department (heavily disagree with the moves not feeling wrestling adjacent, this game arguably did that the best)
I think the above comment honestly got down pretty much why this game did well, I think there should have been a bit more research into this actually failed.
I’m not a big BR person but this game kept me playing longer than most. I got burnt out just because I get burnt out on most ant BR game but I still thought it had a bright future based on how much fun I had for the time I played.
I wasn’t a pro by any means but no glaring balancing issues stuck out to me it just seemed like it had metas like any BR. I thought the fighting was a lot more interesting and I never expected a WWE type game out of it in the first place.
My guy made a whole essay everybody doing it in the reply💀
@@Antielikebeggersgroupfr im not reading that
I only played one match. Almost won my first game.
Your first match would've been a bot lobby. It's a tactic that Fortnite uses too; they make sure your first matches aren't too aggravating as you're just learning how to play.
I can't express how the art work and name, particularly with that poster, made me instantly pay no attention to the game. I saw an ad for it at one point and just assumed it was a mobile clone as that poster looked identical to any of a thousand other games with similar sounding names, I am honestly surprised that it only lasted 5 months as I am sure with a bit of work someone could go back years and find near identical promotional material over and over again
This was my experience with it. the art style and it being another BR game turned me off completely but once I watched gameplay it looked really fun but that's the thing, it was was to watch but not play.
Same, I legitimately didn't know this was a real game I thought it was some fake mobile thing.
exactly this
Had this been set to release a few gaming generations ago, e.g. the PS2 c. 2003, this would have
1. Been solely marketed towards children.
2. Had gameplay_focused_ on the cartoonish wrestling idea.
3. Would have stood out against a sea of visually realistic games at the time.
4. Released as a physical game.
That being said, I'd probably play it if that was the case, but as it is, it feels more like a tech demo from back then than the final product.
I quite like the art style, but exaggerated anatomy will always be a hard sell for adult players. Sure, _Fortnite_ is stylised, but everyone still has realistic proportions.
That and what this game badly needs is some defined characters and a storyline to follow or bounce off of. Context can make a huge difference gameplay-driven game like this.
@@DoctorInk20 I feel like children wouldn't have liked this game because the combat was made for people with experience in fighting games.
If you mash, which is what kids and newbies do, you'll get severely punished for it.
Fortnite appeals to them because the combat is "I shoot you, bam, you're dead," but this game is "I punch you. I whiffed. I got combo'd and I lost... Awww, man, this sucks."
Underrated game that never got to shine because people didn't want to play it with me.
As someone who played since launch and put 100s of hours into the game I can tell you release was a bit shit with bugs regarding hitboxes and stuff missing or hitting when it shouldn't but it did get better after the first season
However there was so much to this game, the best way for me to describe it is as a 3D smash bros battle royale since there was a huge emphasis on movement and platforming, from doing two consecutive jumps to jump higher to dodging in air to get more distance, you can even block and jump and it will flip your character the other way making it easy to climb over a roof from a parking lot or something
The only thing I think really hurt the game was the artstyle as even I was put off by it and only tried it because I like fighting games. With that being said there was so many customization options that making your character look cool wasn't an issue and they would add a lot of new weapons which would help with combos. Not to mention the games artstyle grew on me so much so that I think its perfect for the game overall its just the first impressions is what hurts it. People did think it was a mobile game or something including me until I got a notification from epic games on my pc.
They added a freaking keybat which is just a reference to the keyblade and you can actually fly with it in game, don't even get me started on the combos where a lot of the time it was situational based off of your location
If you are on a roof you can do roof combos where you knock the opponent off the building then catch them, wall combos which is self explanatory and of course floor combos, where if there is nothing else around they just get knocked over and you can elbow drop them or if you have something that can lift from the floor you can then extend the combo
You even mentioned the lack of personality which is CRAZY
The emotes went hard I believe one of the first emotes you were able to get was a crying emote where you literally make fun of your enemies and pretended cry while your character says "Boo-Hoo" (ITS IN THE TRAILER DAMMIT)
I understand you can't play the game now so it's hard to actually review it but genuinely this game was gold, I think about it nearly every day and I'm actually working on remaking the games fighting mechanics because I liked it so much.
For rumbleverse it sounds small or silly, but I think part of the reason it wasn't popular is that the characters are really ugly.
Now I'm not saying a game needs every character to be sexualized to be successful, but having a few attractive poster characters really helps bring people in.
Its like trying to create something passable in modern fallout, its unpossible
@@CZOM027. I really don't think this comparison makes sense.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 Think for longer
@@CZOM027. That's not a good counter-argument; If anything, it only shows you don't have a counter-argument to speak of because otherwise you would have said something more if you did. Provide an actual counter-argument or get the fuck out, clown.
PS: Liking your own reply is insanely pathetic; Reeks of desperation. Seek professional help ASAP.
Hope this game pulls a Gigantic and comes back. This game is what that ashy ass My Hero Battle Royale should have been like. Spellbreak needs a second chance too.
As a Rumbleverse fan and former player who loves traditional fighting games and battle royales too:
This game was actually a perfect bridge for friends who liked fighting games very casually and wanted a way to with their friends not just against them. I played Rumbleverse that entire 5 months it was alive and was very ready to quit traditional fighting games and never go back. Rumbleverse will be missed.
Never saw it as a wrestling game honestly, saw it as a melee battle royal
One detail I wanted to throw in that I didn't see discussed in the video - the game was actually not very group-friendly.
You could either go solo or duo (tag-team) with a friend, but 3 or more was not offered. They actually did have a "trios" mode, but it was only as a limited-time event, not a permanent configuration.
BR games can be more solo-oriented, but I felt that a game as vibrant and wacky as this could've done more on that front.
Needless to say, I did love playing Rumbleverse whenever I had the opportunity, and it was one of those few games that I felt would've lasted longer had it not been firmly in Fortnite's shadow and competing for player retention on FN's home platform.
They had a Quads mode too around the end. It got a lot of action, I think people liked it a lot more than Duos.
fair point
From what I remember, a few streamers that I watched really enjoyed the game because it dipped into the mechanics of fighting games. I won't elaborate on what they are because I'm terrible at them, but that might have been why Rumbleverse had such an explosive start and died with a whimper. It closely follows fighting game releases where there is an almost unimaginable successful launch, but as people hit their skill ceilings they put the game down. Only those that are willing to spend hours perfecting mechanics to become better stay.
I got into this game like 2-3 months before it shut down and it was sooo much fun
Had a TON of potential, if only the combat were a little better and more responsive. Was truly a love letter to professional wrestling in all other aspects.
Game was fun for a bit but once the no life people started to become more common and every fight became who can start the dolphin dive loop first. It was down hill from there.
Hey, bro! Hi from Bulgaria! Thanks for all your awesome videos, I really enjoy watching them and they gave me plenty of entertainment during the last few months :)
Glad you like them!
First time I hear about this game, would have definitely tried it out
It looked fun judging by Maximillian's streams but yeah battle royale is such a rough market nowadays
And the next game is... okay, yeah, that checks out.
The next case died from cancer.
Yep.. and it’s begins with an Suicide Squad
This game was such a nice product over all. I loved everything, especially the cartoonie art style. It was really rewarding the skills you gained throughout playing it
I really want this game to come back
Iron Galaxy also ported Tlou 1 to PC. Which was a disaster.
bro me and my friend played this game everyday and we got so good to a point where we wanted to start youtube channels based on the game because of how good we where, we would win almost every match and had a meta going, i loved the game and it was a whole lot of fun. it made me rage before getting good and made me feel great when i won a game. this game was just so fun. like u can climb anything throw ur enimys to space etc. gonna miss it LLLLLLLLLLLLL
Never heard of the game until I took a game development class in my last semester of college, and that was only a few months ago.
I always wanted to play this game, but never had the chance to. TBF, I was really under the impression that I would have more than half a year to check it out. Even now, I would still love to if it ever came back.
rumbleverse is still one of my favourite games (most likely top 3) because of how different it was, how well it was paced, how fun the multiplayer is, how fun it was to customise characters and how deep and interesting the combat was
rumbleverse’s visual style is pretty goofy and different, but i can’t imagine it looking any other way graphically
the visuals really fits the sillines the game is going for and it fits well with the gameplay and the wow moments despite of what you said stating that it lacked a good pressntation.
im still praying for this game to come back eventually as the time i’ve spent in that 6 months was one of the most fun i’ve had playing a game with friends and on my own
i know im glazing but i promise you this game was something special
this video covers it really good
4:00 this is exactly how i felt , when i saw it first
Epic never did give back the money I spent on skins in this game >:(
This game’s name hurt it’s popularity a lot. All of my friends would immediately dismiss me trying to talk about this game because “You already told me about Multi-Versus” even though they’re completely different games.
If it would’ve released under a different name I feel it would’ve done better.
you were kinna harsh, man. rumbleverse was a lot of fun nicknamed it my fortnite killer at the time 😅
the aesthetic was similar to fort, but i’d argue more vibrant and the overall design gave urbz: sims in the city vibes
the character customization was also god tier compared to some, so-called “AAA” games ;
eye color, skin color, body type, gender, hair, eyebrows, shapes, colors…&more. the cosmetics while not always what most people would want you could pick and choose what to wear mix and match that with other items of clothing from different sets, no two characters ever looked the same unless you were starting out default or wore a fit to complete like the cat suit 👌🏻
but ultimately it failed, because fighting games have a learning curve not many people want to nor have the time to put in to improve, lack of funds is a given i’m sure and being released around the height of the pandemic didn’t help ‘ither 😂
hope to see it get picked up someday if not it was honor to have experienced 🙏🏻
I think the main issue was that the potential paying player base was a Venn diagram of people who like Battle Royale, Play video game, are into Wrestling and are ok with microtransactions. As someone who doesn't watch wrestling I just didn't have any drive to even try the game.
I guarantee that Yakkocmn is watching this video, reminising of the good times this game provided.
It's a shame I only heard about it when the plug was already pulled. Would've been an amazing game to sit back, mash buttons, and enjoy the cartoonish aesthetic.
Me and my friend loved this game. This one hits home for sure. Such a great idea.
Oooh, this one hurts.
This is the best battle royale I've ever played.
The tension you felt while fighting was second to none. You didn't get shot with a Sniper rifle from 300m or someone downing you in 3 seconds with a shotgun at close range.
You actually had to fight it out. You had combos, priority attacks. You could fucking divebomb someone off a skyscraper or even use cars to propel your attack.
Its only fault was having a similar UI as fortnite
I didn't play this game because I'm not a pvp gamer at all. But for this game's short existence, I adored watching Northernlion play it. It was endlessly hilarious seeing him do flying elbows from the top of a skyscraper and then get spinning thrown into the ocean 😭
I played dozens of matches of this game. And streamed it on twitch before it got expired.
The big problem I had with it was that the game had rules you could read and memorize, and then those rules applied to moves, so it was an elaborate 'rock paper scissors' except it had like a dozen steps.
And then not of that shit fucking mattered because the netcode was so damn broken half the time that you could win a clash, and then just get hit by the enemy attack (that you beat) anyway while they get away with it.
Rumbleverse is was the best battle royale ive ever played
Out of all the other battle royals, this one was amazingly fun. Really really sad that it got shut down
I remember seeing that game awhile back, those characters looked so awful. 🤢
I played it daily, I remember taking a break from gaming and when I got back on my Xbox Rumbleverse was dead and gone, I think Epic just wanted to pour more resources into Fortnite and Fortnite's infinite cameos instead of breathing life into Rumbleverse's marketing. A damn shame.
UA-cam hasn’t been recommending me your videos for ages???
For the people that never played this game, imagine Gym-bros had a Battle Royale, But we're all wrestling fans.
Think the devs should had taken some cues from Platinum Games' Anarchy Reign/Max Anarachy's 16 player FFA mode with Rumbleverse getting some enemy npcs and sub boss on the map as well as those random events like Colony Laser, Air plane crashing during matches in Anarchy Reigns
I remember seeing a lot of people playing this on twitch and youtube for about a month and then people kinda forgot about it. Shame I would've loved to try it but I didn't want to make an epic account
I loved Rumbleverse, played it almost every day from start-to-finish because it was so much fun! The devs had a knack for creating funny moments and utilizing fighting game mechanics in a Battle Royale (a genre I'm not normally fond of). I really hope it comes back in some form.
Man I miss this game
As an over 30 yr old,I appreciate a battle royal I feel like I stand a chance in
My only experience with this game was watching Max Dood stream which was hype not gonna lie.
It's sad to say but I was already so burned by other live-service games that unceremoniously died that I never even tried Rumbleverse, which only perpetuates the problem. But realistically, gamers can only play so many live service games at once, and rather than choosing games adjacent to their primary they will instead reach for the exact opposite type of game to break up the monotony.
I think they could make another new IP with the gameplay in a single player format. Since to be honest the most interesting thing about this game was the gameplay.
Rumbleverse was something special for me. It really felt like a Fighting-game BR. The biggest issues was lack of modes and troubles to generate revenue (I literally bought one outfit, feel in love with it and never bought anything else). One thing I will say is that this game had the BEST feeling movement of a 3D game that I have played in that last 5years! If it wasn't for the ""need"" to generate revenue and the game could just be a game without being shut down. I would still be playing today. This kind of game-feel coulda lent itself to numerous game modes, not just BR.
Not releasing on Steam (or at least outside of EGS) stopped me and many friends from giving it a try. Good to see that it died quickly, well deserved.
I think that the biggest problem with a battle royale is that it is a battle royale game, the genre has become very saturated and can hardly entertain the public anymore, the saddest thing is that there are games with cool ideas like SpellBreak which had very good gameplay but It left a lot to be desired because it was a battle royale game.
I play games for over 20 years, starting with UnrealTounament to CS, from Street Fighter to Fortnite, H1Z1 & Valorant etc.. But nothing was so much fun to play as Rumbleverse. I'm always looking for new games that give me what Rumbleverse gave me, but so far i didnt find anything. I hope Iron Galaxy bring it back or make a new version of this style of game.
I'd actually pay for this game if it ever came back,i swear this was the best game i ever playef idc whatever anyone else says. I playef gta,fortnite,pubg etc but this game was just different and it's so unfortunate that we might never play this game again😢
Honestly I think it would've worked better if it wasn't a battle royale and just a game you could play with your friends in a arena/ area for the match and duke it out.
When I saw everything was over 20 dollars in the store I’m like naaaaah is gonna die out
I wonder if other people are as sick as I am of the goofy cartoony "WE WANT THE FORTNITE AUDIENCE" way so many of these games are carrying themselves. I miss when things took themselves seriously.
5 months is insane for any game though, they either went into the red making it or had 0 faith in the project
pretty sure there are a TON of games taking themselves seriously... you're probably just ignoring them so you can be mad about the ones with a cartoon style.🤷♀
I feel like something that was not mentioned is that, for any "competitive" game, losing control of your character is a terrible gameplay experience and can quickly lead to cheesy moments. And that was a big issue in Rumbleverse.
All of these other wrestling type games are for fun/casual so it's fine. But for Rumbleverse, you could really feel cheated out by being stunlocked into grapples and throws.
This led to multiple issues, people running away to play for the safe zone rather than fighting each other, (which is true on any BR, but in a brawler focused on over the top melee combat, this is basically nullifying what makes the game unique); CC attacks being the preferred power ups, and the superstar finisher leading to frustrating experiences since you could be grabbed twice in a row by different players, resulting in many seconds of CC followed by elimination.
I wouldn't overlook that aspect because part of the fun in BRs is outplaying the other player with your choices, but if you can make choices because you are CCd, that quickly leads to resentment. Especially if you need to cater to a casual audience (the visual style indicates as much) and a hardcore audience (the mechanics indicate as much) at the same time.
it´ll be interesting to know how KNOCK OUT CITY died, it was a great game too, they even got a crossover with TMNT
Heavy rain outside
Detective Dreams 😢
The battle royale gimmick killed this game for me, it very well could’ve succeeded if it was just an arena wrestling brawler.
"Wrestling games usually have high standards"
Yeah i stop watching the video here...
I only ever heard about this game after it shut down. Maybe launching exclusively on epic games store was bad for marketing, or maybe it was fighting for attention with an insane amount of live service battle royale games.
I heard the developers advertise it as a fighting game. Hopefully they use these ideas for a future title.
I loved this game and played it all throughout its life cycle. They had a 1 year contract with Epic Games in order to make this game profitable, wasting 6 months of it with that delay that you mentioned in the video. They only had 6 months to rake in the profit and ultimately failed. I wished it would've lasted longer, they had such promising concepts for Season 3 and beyond but it was never meant to be. Maybe someday people will give another game that's like this a chance to shine.
This was the best game imo it brought me and my little brother closer we shared so many laughs in this game. I hope this game can come back one day
Oh, that teaser at the end is VERY telling; Can't wait to see that one. (Rocksteady's fall from grace is a painful one.)
I'm sure we'll see Multiversus on this channel sooner rather than later. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I am familiar with iron galaxy as they are mostly a porting house and assisted with Metroid prime remastered, but I had no idea They made a unique battle Royale that shut down six months after it released.
me and i friend we played it 24/7 together it was so fun
I loved this game and wanted it to keep going. It had too much potential to be better and better, me and my friend had a blast all the time man. I hate that it’s gone.
They were gonna reboot the game... That's not happening?
for the point of lacks content and longevity. ABSOLUTELY NO they brought out 3 updates to the map in that short period they brought out several new attacks to master and the brought out enough cosmetics to change up your style. even the different fighting/playing styles u could go for like being a tank focused on surviving or being a menace just jumping around or even dealing so much dmg but being extremly vulnerable at the same time
Tbh i miss this game … if you had someone to play with or knew the moves an how to counter things & love battle royal games this would be one of the best fighting games for you tbh ….
Wow, I don’t think the day before was that fast of a game to get a video compared to SS kills the justice league
With the death of clash mini, can you look into covering that game?
i didnt really knew about the game in the start but saw some streamers play it and then i tried it and i loved it. the pure skill which is needed to perform combos like noone else is so beautiful. it rewards players training these and just destroying a lobby. i never played any wrestling games like wwe bc its just bs but that was smth knew and for me rumbleverse isnt a wrestling game in the common sense. it doesnt need to make u look epic when u can achieve that with your skill rather than the outfit
Comparing gang beast to rumbleverse is insane
Imagine if WWE bought this game
I installed it back at the end of 2022, got 40 kills my first 2 matches and won twice. Third game and after were all sweat fests, which make sense but it seems like that ubisoft battle royale that was killed by the skill gap
I’d do anything to bring this game back. I haven’t had as much fun playing a battle royal since season 3 of fornite. This game just did something and especially while ur high omg it was addicting
Unfortunately I only found out this game existed after it died but I would’ve given it a chance
Rumbleverse, my beloved. NL kept me pegged throughout the lifetime of this gem
heard they trynna rework and bring this game back. hope it works cause this was the most fun I've had in years. another problem they had was lack of advertisements. I never saw a single ad for this game and only knew it existed cause I saw it under the coming soon and new pages of epics' launcher.
I don't think you put in the table the main problems of the game:
1- The skill gap, there were testers in the beta that were playing for A YEAR previous the launch of the game and when the game started there were real VETERANS that were really impossible to beat for someone new to the game as the gameplay was so deep. And it helps that players try the game for some matches and leave as there was no a proper matchmaking, everyone available in that moment joined the match.
2 - The grind in the battle pass was excessive, I am a wrestling fan and I usually play BR like Fortnite, Apex, Naraka, Bloodhunt... Rumbleverse had the worse BP I ever meet and I checked most of them, majority of the cosmetics feel that just something to fill the void, the missions were or pretty complex or pretty large to complete and the time you needed to dedicate to the game was excessive and it was pretty hard as the player base was shrinking and shrinking as new player were scared away by veterans dominating the gameplay, sometimes it too so long to join a match that you finally quit after two or three as just spent hours to play a few minutes.
In your single-opinion, luckily my analysis is based on more than just one person. People playing the game for a year before launch...source? Because the beta was not even introduced then. And the concept you described, ALL BRs suffer from, including the most popular WITH ranked systems. I thought you would know that since you mentioned playing the others.
And second, the battle pass is a SMALL part of my argument, which was poor monetization. So actually, you didn't full understand my point and then listed a reason I literally cover.
@@nerdSlayerstudioss the battle pass was part of the poor engagement, at least for me and me friends that quit the game. I am sorry, I talk from experience, I was looking forward the game before launch and we noticed the game was pretty hard to master but there was people so good DAY ONE, we searched in internet and we found that some people were talking about they were veterans from beta. I will check back because was something that was pretty viral at the moment of launch.
Matchmaking improved when they added bots, but most competitive players didn't liked it.
@@nerdSlayerstudioss I am sorry if you feel I didn't agree your points and I didn't like the video, I did. I really missed those points because those were the ones that made our full community (from a Fortnite youtuber discord) to quit the game although most of us love wrestling and we were used to BR problems and grinding.
The problem with the BP was not as much the price as the ENGAGEMENT, as it was hard to feel rewarding and progressing. You are right about the monetization but I think that the store was much worse that the BP in that aspect. Most of the BR keep the players returning due to BP and I think RV failed in it.
I have being searching and I found there was some open beta weekends and some beta rewards but it was impossible to find the dates related to beta, when I looked in internet how it was possible that in the launch day there were as much people that dominated the game all I found was people ranting about the veterans from beta that have being playing for a year, I though it was real and not an exaggerated statement. And you are right skill gap is usually a main problem in BR but feel pretty weird to have a so large skill gap in a game just at launch. Or at least is how we felt it, I am used because as I am older I not very skilful in game but when other players start to rant about it I noticed it was just not my impression. I tried to introduce new players as I love the theme but the quit after two or three matches and that was one of the problems (other were the theme, the aesthetic, the gameplay... depending of the player).
You say there is not beta but I found videos of open beta weekends at least in July and August before launch, there are others asking for people in february but I found no prove of it and there are people asking for items for beta in different platforms, as I far as I know there was a beta... I believe you if it wasn't as long I have read in the past but as far I can look in internet there was one.
Thank you for the video I really love to see this kind of analysis and bring a lot of memories about those closed games.
I was very sad to see this game go. I played it daily and it was just plain dumb fun.
It kicked ass it reminded me of Gotham city imposters I played 800 rounds
This game deserved to be more popular than Fortnite
People really don’t understand how fun this game was after you got over the visuals and the initial fighting game-like skill floor. Such a shame, should’ve been marketed/published better.
Game was so fun especially if you played with a friend sad it came out at a bad time
ive never even heard of this game before which honestly probably explains how it may of ended up on this show
Yeah, I had fun with it, but the aesthetics were an immediate turn off for any friend I tried to drag into trying it.
Never played but ever since the trailer at one of those game events I figured it was either a mobile game or an attempt at a fortnite ‘inspired’ (kinda just copy) BR game with wrestling and expected it to not even be talked about
Which is kinda right, it wasn’t talked about mostly and died quicker than most games take to
