Following Magicka’s bad example, we have the same formula. Fun gameplay, miserable connection problems.

Until you get bored with characters and arenas, fun can be had. Updates will decide whether The Showdown Effect stays with us for longer.

The Showdown Effect offers fast paced and fun multiplayer action for a low price of admission. Unfortunately the price point is also evident in the amount of content. However it clearly succeeds as a bite-sized game of frantic, skill based killing.
