Pros
Pro Full of fighting game scene in-jokes and references
Much like a parody game, Divekick makes plenty of inside jokes about fighting game tournament circles such as pointing out their social awkwardness.
Pro Skill is still the deciding factor in matchups
Even though the controls are quite simple it still takes skill and feeling out one opponent. Just like any other fighting game one needs to predict what their opponent will do, which is never easy and takes skill.
Pro Takes about 5 seconds to learn how to play the game
Divekick boils down tradition fighting games into a two button control scheme, which makes learning the mechanics of the game quite simple.
Pro Chaotic, fun gameplay
Player vs player combat can be pretty crazy, countering spells with a shield to try and hit the shooting opponent with their won spells, not to mention frantic running around, all the while shooting and countering the chaos.
Pro Multiple, varied game modes
There are three available modes of play, the first being a three lane MOBA, the second a team death match and the third a duel mode.
Cons
