Overall, Big Crown: Showdown has great focus and a cute art style with plain-and-simple, party-gaming gameplay.
It’s simple, fun, rewarding and doesn’t take all day to get good enough to lay down the smackdown.
It is in local multiplayer, then, that Big Crown Showdown excels, although in its current state that’s by default. Fun, frantic and maddening in places, there’s undeniable potential in the idea that it has been built around, it’s just the execution and, sadly, lack of online interest that sees it fumble short of the finish line.
If you're looking for a good party game that will keep you entertained for a good time, then I'd suggest picking up Runbow instead, which is a bit cheaper and offers different game modes to take on for your next party.
An unnecessary story and a small niggle aside, Big Crown Showdown is an enjoyable, accessible, family friendly party game that’s suitable for any gamer, no matter how small. It’s a colourful tool for getting up to mischief with a group of friends on your couch or across the world with online play. Having a party this Christmas and want a new game to play? Give some serious consideration to adding Big Crown Showdown to the mix.
