Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20164/5 starsThough the game is a pure play brawler (albeit with really stylish violence and a stunning aesthetic and music score), the theme adds genuine flavour to the proceedings. People tend to forget, but Shakespeare himself was a populist playwright, and his work was filled with the old hyperviolence, sex and a bit more hyperviolence on top of that to get audiences roudy and cheering the actors on.

Geeks Under GraceNov 20188/10Foul Play is a charming and fresh take on the beat-em-up formula. Whether you play solo or co-op, fun will be had following the adventures of Mr. Dashforth and Scampwick.

DestructoidPatrick HancockNov 20135.5/10The lack of depth hurts Foul Play the most, and it's really a shame considering how brilliant the aesthetic is. I wanted to run around the stage, but playing the game made me exit stage left.
