#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.
Rules:
1: No discrimination or hate speech.
2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer.
3: No political/religious talk or debate .
4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources.
5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods.

man this game was fun but it was a nightmare trying to get any friends to show interest in it because of the visuals alone. was a shame

[@lowenkrone1689]

Jes😢

[@Coswalker27]

My friend saw the furry costumes, and he uninstalled. It a really good game. That rewards skill.

[@CallMeZayth]

the art style was act cool it was close to og fortnite graphics and i fw cartoony ahh shi

[@ExtremelyFishyPerson]

Don't judge a book by its cover 😔

[@TheNzFox]

I can't express how the art work and name, particularly with that poster, made me instantly pay no attention to the game. I saw an ad for it at one point and just assumed it was a mobile clone as that poster looked identical to any of a thousand other games with similar sounding names, I am honestly surprised that it only lasted 5 months as I am sure with a bit of work someone could go back years and find near identical promotional material over and over again

[@YoutubeCommentor1]

This was my experience with it. the art style and it being another BR game turned me off completely but once I watched gameplay it looked really fun but that's the thing, it was was to watch but not play.

[@QuellTheHeresy]

Same, I legitimately didn't know this was a real game I thought it was some fake mobile thing.

[@aheahe7943]

exactly this

[@DoctorInk20]

Had this been set to release a few gaming generations ago, e.g. the PS2 c. 2003, this would have 1. Been solely marketed towards children. 2. Had gameplay_focused_ on the cartoonish wrestling idea. 3. Would have stood out against a sea of visually realistic games at the time. 4. Released as a physical game. That being said, I'd probably play it if that was the case, but as it is, it feels more like a tech demo from back then than the final product. I quite like the art style, but exaggerated anatomy will always be a hard sell for adult players. Sure, _Fortnite_ is stylised, but everyone still has realistic proportions. That and what this game badly needs is some defined characters and a storyline to follow or bounce off of. Context can make a huge difference gameplay-driven game like this.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

​@@DoctorInk20 I feel like children wouldn't have liked this game because the combat was made for people with experience in fighting games. If you mash, which is what kids and newbies do, you'll get severely punished for it. Fortnite appeals to them because the combat is "I shoot you, bam, you're dead," but this game is "I punch you. I whiffed. I got combo'd and I lost... Awww, man, this sucks."

[@OG_bobbi]

loved Rumbleverse, played almost daily with my cousin summer 2022 - feb 2023 😢 It was a massive lack of marketing. Like Epic as publisher didn't even care as they got Fortnite and let RV die 😔 Still hoping for a comeback one day. Easily one of the best games of past years 🙏

[@MichaelYT22]

I only played one match. Almost won my first game.

[@nestormelendez9005]

Same here but I won must have been bots

[@habadasheryjones]

We get arcade wrestling about as often as we get arcade racing these days so this game was a sight for sore eyes. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Its a sad day in gaming where the only game I've ever played where you can spinning dtt someone off of a skyscraper becomes completely unable to be played. It stings worse because bots (while not a replacement for real players) were already a part of the game. Why not just give us an offline bot mode? Can't stand when the decision to make a game an online live service completely locks it in as an online only or gtfo game. I can't even recommend the new Hitman games, despite their fun gameplay, because your saved online only progression tied to item unlocks is on the devs servers that lose connection every two hours. Whats wrong with games like Rumbleverse and Hitman 3 getting an offline mode?

[@elonleon4452]

Strange how you didn't mention Skip leggerday, this game's announcer. That man was THE SHIT! If it weren't for his overwhelming charisma, i swear to god this game would've died even faster than it did now. my god do i miss him.

That's the kind of puntastic name I'd expect from this. 😂 Me likey.

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

I played 800 rounds with the sound off

[@nickbnj]

Best announcer ever

[@Graysett]

I played a bit over 1k matches and just barely squeaked out a slightly over 50% top 5 rate. There isn't a week I go by without missing RV. It went out at its best patch too. It introduced the final ring moving in a random direction towards one of the edges of the map, which instantly made every match feel way more unique because you wouldn't be stuck in one of the (admittedly many) predetermined final locations. That one change solved so many problems too. Turtling was an issue before that patch, but you can't just sit and block constantly when the ring is moving, and even if you try eventually you'll be out on the water anyway. It made a bunch of niche grabs, knockback specials, and movement specials actually worth taking because you'd know that inevitably you'd end up near an edge eventually instead of being landlocked like so many final rings were. I also disagree with the idea there wasn't enough content, or that the game was a "wrestling" game instead of just a fighting game inspired by wrestling. They were adding in new items and specials every patch, they added a full new map like 2 patches before shutdown (which was also connected to the first map so sometimes you'd be on one, transition to the other, then get forced back again because of the ring moving), and people had tons of speculation on what would be coming in next (Chun-Li's kicks being a constant ask). In my eyes the game simply was doomed to failure for one reason. Fighting games have terrible player retention baseline (for a lot of reasons I won't get into), and making a fighting game that's only online AND needs 25+ players just to field a single match is a recipe for disaster. They added bots to get queues going (thank god, before that it was 5+ minutes to find a match, after that it was rarely more than 1) but the bots are nowhere near as good as players of course, so that felt hollow for a lot of people. It took me a while to adjust, but I actually liked them by the end, they were basically free perks and just another resource to fight over like weapons or specials. It doesn't help that the way the progression system worked meant that when you entered a new bracket you'd be pretty much entirely cut off from the previous one and that it was XP based instead of win/loss based so you'd inevitably be forced to progress. I'd hit a new bracket, load into a new match, and then get absolutely mollywhopped by the new level of competition for like 20+ matches in a row until I got my footing. People don't like losing like that, I'm pretty immune to it but even I felt discouraged, until I gitted gud it felt almost like getting punished for playing more. Also, for some reason it never had a ranked queue. They probably couldn't afford to split the playerbase even further, but there was constant complaining about casuals being matched into killers, and a lot of people wanted a queue to really tryhard in as well. I think if RV came back with say ~15 humans per match and 7~ bots instead of trying to fill a room full of 40 people, had the initial rings start 2 sizes smaller, and then just used a MMR system for matchmaking instead of having such strict divisions it'd be able to go a lot further. Maybe also use a less cartoony artstyle (or let people have way more access to cosmetics, because I saw a LOT of fun/cool outfits in the final patch because they let everyone use every item for free, there was an absolute epidemic of Peter Griffins lmao) too, idk. But what I do know is that RV was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming (even the early patches where dive bomb nuking people from offscreen with weapons was wildly overpowered), and the gameplay itself was incredible, the patches were constantly making things better and increasing playstyle diversity, and Iron Galaxy were always amazing at responding to the players and improving the game. But never again will I get to bean someone with a homing chancla then combo them into a inazuma drop that slams them into the ground so hard they bounce off into the ocean for the KO, and that's a damn shame.

[@Graysett]

Also it was barely advertised and being stuck on the epic games store was pretty awful. Those both go a long way too lol. Also, for some godforsaken reason even though the game had a pretty decent tutorial it was hidden in the "freeplay" mode and spread out across 3 locations on the map, with absolutely no indication that the tutorial existed until you decided to go to freeplay yourself.

[@Gamerznation704]

I heavily agree with this, If you followed or did a bit more research into one of the people behind the development of the game that was pretty vocal (aka Keits) would know that this game wasn't necessarily a (wrestling adjacent) game. Alot of the design mechanics along with the thought process was from a fighting game standpoint, although it most certainly brought out a bit of that crowd. I think, alot of the problem is the art style but also in general this game came out at the wrong time. Gamers are finicky, and as what was mentioned earlier, fighting games have terrible retention. This game was honestly some of the best fun I'd had in a while, and don't get me wrong I can't stand the art style. However from the wrestling aspect alot of the moves they got were amazing and as someone who grew up on the wrestling games, fighting games this was perfect in that department (heavily disagree with the moves not feeling wrestling adjacent, this game arguably did that the best) I think the above comment honestly got down pretty much why this game did well, I think there should have been a bit more research into this actually failed.

[@goober69er]

I’m not a big BR person but this game kept me playing longer than most. I got burnt out just because I get burnt out on most ant BR game but I still thought it had a bright future based on how much fun I had for the time I played. I wasn’t a pro by any means but no glaring balancing issues stuck out to me it just seemed like it had metas like any BR. I thought the fighting was a lot more interesting and I never expected a WWE type game out of it in the first place.

[@Unh1n93d]

As someone who played since launch and put 100s of hours into the game I can tell you release was a bit shit with bugs regarding hitboxes and stuff missing or hitting when it shouldn't but it did get better after the first season However there was so much to this game, the best way for me to describe it is as a 3D smash bros battle royale since there was a huge emphasis on movement and platforming, from doing two consecutive jumps to jump higher to dodging in air to get more distance, you can even block and jump and it will flip your character the other way making it easy to climb over a roof from a parking lot or something The only thing I think really hurt the game was the artstyle as even I was put off by it and only tried it because I like fighting games. With that being said there was so many customization options that making your character look cool wasn't an issue and they would add a lot of new weapons which would help with combos. Not to mention the games artstyle grew on me so much so that I think its perfect for the game overall its just the first impressions is what hurts it. People did think it was a mobile game or something including me until I got a notification from epic games on my pc. They added a freaking keybat which is just a reference to the keyblade and you can actually fly with it in game, don't even get me started on the combos where a lot of the time it was situational based off of your location If you are on a roof you can do roof combos where you knock the opponent off the building then catch them, wall combos which is self explanatory and of course floor combos, where if there is nothing else around they just get knocked over and you can elbow drop them or if you have something that can lift from the floor you can then extend the combo You even mentioned the lack of personality which is CRAZY The emotes went hard I believe one of the first emotes you were able to get was a crying emote where you literally make fun of your enemies and pretended cry while your character says "Boo-Hoo" (ITS IN THE TRAILER DAMMIT) I understand you can't play the game now so it's hard to actually review it but genuinely this game was gold, I think about it nearly every day and I'm actually working on remaking the games fighting mechanics because I liked it so much.

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

Had a TON of potential, if only the combat were a little better and more responsive. Was truly a love letter to professional wrestling in all other aspects.

[@nintenx1235]

For rumbleverse it sounds small or silly, but I think part of the reason it wasn't popular is that the characters are really ugly. Now I'm not saying a game needs every character to be sexualized to be successful, but having a few attractive poster characters really helps bring people in.

@@jmaster4941 I know this, it just sucks to have more unique battle royales get shut down in less than a year when the presentation is just right. This is half the reason why i refuse to really get into anymore that come out and use my time elsewhere on other pvp and co-op games with friends.

[@jmaster4941]

@@techno_otaku I know. Spellbreak is another one. It had amazing controls and gameplay but people just didn't want a BR with magic. They only want guns.

[@MouseSPAL]

From what I remember, a few streamers that I watched really enjoyed the game because it dipped into the mechanics of fighting games. I won't elaborate on what they are because I'm terrible at them, but that might have been why Rumbleverse had such an explosive start and died with a whimper. It closely follows fighting game releases where there is an almost unimaginable successful launch, but as people hit their skill ceilings they put the game down. Only those that are willing to spend hours perfecting mechanics to become better stay.

[@HOURLYSNIPES]

Underrated game that never got to shine because people didn't want to play it with me.

[@miraclePoints]

I didn't play this game because I'm not a pvp gamer at all. But for this game's short existence, I adored watching Northernlion play it. It was endlessly hilarious seeing him do flying elbows from the top of a skyscraper and then get spinning thrown into the ocean 😭

[@DimzNoms]

Rumbleverse was something special for me. It really felt like a Fighting-game BR. The biggest issues was lack of modes and troubles to generate revenue (I literally bought one outfit, feel in love with it and never bought anything else). One thing I will say is that this game had the BEST feeling movement of a 3D game that I have played in that last 5years! If it wasn't for the ""need"" to generate revenue and the game could just be a game without being shut down. I would still be playing today. This kind of game-feel coulda lent itself to numerous game modes, not just BR.

[@MexicanNickCop]

Hooray I've legit been waiting for this for over a year!

[@TheChimpyManCan]

Dammit, this one hurt... Rumbleverse was by far the most genuine fun I had with any of these battle-royale types. Going all in on the cartoon wrestling it did away with the usual problem of wasting 5 minutes looking for a decent weapon only to be one-shot by some lucky git who started on top of a golden railgun. Scrambling up the tallest building you could find, catching someone with an Izuna drop taking you both all the way back down, landing on a springy car that catapults you across the whole city block then hitting solid pavement so hard the other guy just explodes in a big firey ball... good times.

[@saturnine9179]

i miss this game so much it was such a fun game i loved getting stoned to the bone and playing rumbleverse all weekend i never played a battle royale or an online multiplayer game other than just some casual matches on sf6 but rumbleverse was so unique im glad i got to play it and i hope it comes back

[@ghostmanic173]

I got into this game like 2-3 months before it shut down and it was sooo much fun

[@kenshisanki]

As a Rumbleverse fan and former player who loves traditional fighting games and battle royales too: This game was actually a perfect bridge for friends who liked fighting games very casually and wanted a way to with their friends not just against them. I played Rumbleverse that entire 5 months it was alive and was very ready to quit traditional fighting games and never go back. Rumbleverse will be missed.

[@TheUnlimitedProductions]

Hope this game pulls a Gigantic and comes back. This game is what that ashy ass My Hero Battle Royale should have been like. Spellbreak needs a second chance too.

[@SylverstoneKhandr]

One detail I wanted to throw in that I didn't see discussed in the video - the game was actually not very group-friendly. You could either go solo or duo (tag-team) with a friend, but 3 or more was not offered. They actually did have a "trios" mode, but it was only as a limited-time event, not a permanent configuration. BR games can be more solo-oriented, but I felt that a game as vibrant and wacky as this could've done more on that front. Needless to say, I did love playing Rumbleverse whenever I had the opportunity, and it was one of those few games that I felt would've lasted longer had it not been firmly in Fortnite's shadow and competing for player retention on FN's home platform.

[@Graysett]

They had a Quads mode too around the end. It got a lot of action, I think people liked it a lot more than Duos.

[@nerdSlayerstudioss]

One of the best games I've played if not the best . I just typed rumbleverse on KZbin searching its return and found this video

[@rodekirby121]

rumbleverse is still one of my favourite games (most likely top 3) because of how different it was, how well it was paced, how fun the multiplayer is, how fun it was to customise characters and how deep and interesting the combat was rumbleverse’s visual style is pretty goofy and different, but i can’t imagine it looking any other way graphically the visuals really fits the sillines the game is going for and it fits well with the gameplay and the wow moments despite of what you said stating that it lacked a good pressntation. im still praying for this game to come back eventually as the time i’ve spent in that 6 months was one of the most fun i’ve had playing a game with friends and on my own i know im glazing but i promise you this game was something special this video covers it really good

[@kenamada5451]

I started this game too late. This game was actually sick as hell. The combos, the tech, the impact. Insane game. It was one of those games where you could think you were the shit and then someone hits you with the meanest combo and reads that have you re-evaluate the way you thought you could play the game and go back to the drawing board. It was wacky too. I loved the keyblade reference.

[@MySnakeisSolidus]

Oooh, this one hurts. This is the best battle royale I've ever played. The tension you felt while fighting was second to none. You didn't get shot with a Sniper rifle from 300m or someone downing you in 3 seconds with a shotgun at close range. You actually had to fight it out. You had combos, priority attacks. You could fucking divebomb someone off a skyscraper or even use cars to propel your attack. Its only fault was having a similar UI as fortnite

The big problem I had with it was that the game had rules you could read and memorize, and then those rules applied to moves, so it was an elaborate 'rock paper scissors' except it had like a dozen steps. And then not of that shit fucking mattered because the netcode was so damn broken half the time that you could win a clash, and then just get hit by the enemy attack (that you beat) anyway while they get away with it.

Despite lacking a bunch of content, i feel like this game puts a slapstick twist on wrestling which honestly grew on me, despite not being like wwe, wwf pro wrestling. I feel like this game does it better than any of the wwe games by just letting u use the whole arena and location as a giant wrestling ring, it felt like clashing multiple toys wrestlers together as a kid, minus the ring.

My only experience with this game was watching Max Dood stream which was hype not gonna lie.

For the people that never played this game, imagine Gym-bros had a Battle Royale, But we're all wrestling fans.

I don't think you put in the table the main problems of the game: 1- The skill gap, there were testers in the beta that were playing for A YEAR previous the launch of the game and when the game started there were real VETERANS that were really impossible to beat for someone new to the game as the gameplay was so deep. And it helps that players try the game for some matches and leave as there was no a proper matchmaking, everyone available in that moment joined the match. 2 - The grind in the battle pass was excessive, I am a wrestling fan and I usually play BR like Fortnite, Apex, Naraka, Bloodhunt... Rumbleverse had the worse BP I ever meet and I checked most of them, majority of the cosmetics feel that just something to fill the void, the missions were or pretty complex or pretty large to complete and the time you needed to dedicate to the game was excessive and it was pretty hard as the player base was shrinking and shrinking as new player were scared away by veterans dominating the gameplay, sometimes it too so long to join a match that you finally quit after two or three as just spent hours to play a few minutes.

In your single-opinion, luckily my analysis is based on more than just one person. People playing the game for a year before launch...source? Because the beta was not even introduced then. And the concept you described, ALL BRs suffer from, including the most popular WITH ranked systems. I thought you would know that since you mentioned playing the others. And second, the battle pass is a SMALL part of my argument, which was poor monetization. So actually, you didn't full understand my point and then listed a reason I literally cover.

[@Delfar]

@@nerdSlayerstudioss the battle pass was part of the poor engagement, at least for me and me friends that quit the game. I am sorry, I talk from experience, I was looking forward the game before launch and we noticed the game was pretty hard to master but there was people so good DAY ONE, we searched in internet and we found that some people were talking about they were veterans from beta. I will check back because was something that was pretty viral at the moment of launch. Matchmaking improved when they added bots, but most competitive players didn't liked it.

[@Delfar]

@@nerdSlayerstudioss I am sorry if you feel I didn't agree your points and I didn't like the video, I did. I really missed those points because those were the ones that made our full community (from a Fortnite youtuber discord) to quit the game although most of us love wrestling and we were used to BR problems and grinding. The problem with the BP was not as much the price as the ENGAGEMENT, as it was hard to feel rewarding and progressing. You are right about the monetization but I think that the store was much worse that the BP in that aspect. Most of the BR keep the players returning due to BP and I think RV failed in it. I have being searching and I found there was some open beta weekends and some beta rewards but it was impossible to find the dates related to beta, when I looked in internet how it was possible that in the launch day there were as much people that dominated the game all I found was people ranting about the veterans from beta that have being playing for a year, I though it was real and not an exaggerated statement. And you are right skill gap is usually a main problem in BR but feel pretty weird to have a so large skill gap in a game just at launch. Or at least is how we felt it, I am used because as I am older I not very skilful in game but when other players start to rant about it I noticed it was just not my impression. I tried to introduce new players as I love the theme but the quit after two or three matches and that was one of the problems (other were the theme, the aesthetic, the gameplay... depending of the player). You say there is not beta but I found videos of open beta weekends at least in July and August before launch, there are others asking for people in february but I found no prove of it and there are people asking for items for beta in different platforms, as I far as I know there was a beta... I believe you if it wasn't as long I have read in the past but as far I can look in internet there was one. Thank you for the video I really love to see this kind of analysis and bring a lot of memories about those closed games.

[@adiscerningdunmer9311]

This was the game I always regretted never giving a try.

[@TheCrocodilhunter]

I didn't even knew this game existed before I saw this video....

[@kreenbopulusmichael7205]

I wanted to play this game so bad but it was gone by the time I found out it released....

[@jonathangrant480]

I think we can all agree that the best part of this video is the preview for what we'll get next😈

[@Felixowski]

Rumbleverse, my beloved. NL kept me pegged throughout the lifetime of this gem

[@Khainite]

I'm sure we'll see Multiversus on this channel sooner rather than later. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[@romanmanos5251]

Man this game was goated. Like 1st match I fell in love with the game and then I couldn't stop playing it and even tried getting my friends to play it But then the sunset announcement is what dealt a fatal blow to what I loved playing. It was like having your beloved world ripped away from you is what it felt like and I just didn't know what else I was gonna play because that game was my top 1 favorite game out of everything else in my opinion it was better than fortnite hate me or love me for it rumbleverse had everything I enjoyed doing in a game which was whooping people into next week and then it got ripped away #reviverumbleverse 😢

[@cameronnichols6646]

I miss this game

[@trollord2775]

This was the best game imo it brought me and my little brother closer we shared so many laughs in this game. I hope this game can come back one day

[@rtunum48]

RV was the battle royal for true fans of the concept. And just lovers of good ole fashioned video game magic

[@battlericky17]

I really enjoyed the few matches i played, but the matches shockingly got boring towards the end as you could make it to the last 2 and still lose because your opponent was just eating good stat wise

[@E621_Rule34]

heard they trynna rework and bring this game back. hope it works cause this was the most fun I've had in years. another problem they had was lack of advertisements. I never saw a single ad for this game and only knew it existed cause I saw it under the coming soon and new pages of epics' launcher.

[@zouhairbelhamra9235]

Please comeback😭

[@MrJoekinggiant74]

When I saw everything was over 20 dollars in the store I’m like naaaaah is gonna die out

[@jimbroom4036]

I heard the developers advertise it as a fighting game. Hopefully they use these ideas for a future title.

[@waka1834]

This one hurts to see, gone too soon

[@PokyBallinBabo]

They were gonna reboot the game... That's not happening?
