YMMV / Final Combat

Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The Firebat is the most popular of the characters among Western audiences, on account of his sympathetic backstory — where he gets to rescue a cute kitten and take violent revenge on his abusive former boss at the circus — and at least trying to be somewhat different from the character he was based on.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The default look of the Rocket — the game's equivalent of Soldier — has him dressed as a firefighter, but otherwise with near-identical weaponry. Come the 2022 Halloween event for TF2, and with two of the added cosmetics, you can now customize Soldier to look almost exactly like his Chinese counterpart.
  • Serial Numbers Filed Off: One look at the promotional art and you know this is basically the Chinese equivalent to Team Fortress 2.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: The Item Crafting Level Up System because they don't stick inside Player Versus Environment Mode (and it's not clear whether this is due to bad programming or deliberate design).
  • They Copied It, So It Sucks!: The game received bad reception from Team Fortress 2 fans for having a very similar style, gameplay, maps, and trailers. More of the same was directed at the game as more promotional material appeared online...though it wasn't for unoriginality, but theft, as Final Combat was caught using Team Fortress 2 models and animations, and maps from both Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield Heroes. It's flagrant enough that Valve is considering legal action. Being unoriginal really is bad when it's demonstrably stealing.
