I enjoy playing this game, mainly because I can talk like Meowth from Pokémon and sound “gangsta”…or at least try to. “Button Men” is a pretty simple dice rolling battler with some light strategy elements to it. The game gets a bit more strategic when you add in the extras like poison or shadow dice. After recording the first impressions video as seen below, I looked up the MSRP and found that it was $35, which I believe is way too much for the amount of content in the box. Yes, it has replayability and yes, the art and components are pretty nice. With game matches only lasting ten minutes, if that, it’s still a hard sell. With that said, there’s a free to play version you can download and print yourself. I’d recommend doing that first before deciding to buy the boxed version.
In short, “Button Men” was OK, but it didn’t grab me in any particular way.
Final Verdict: 5/10
