The Verdict
based on 9 reviews
“I went in thinking this would be a gimmick game at best, and left thinking this is one of the best games published in 2025.”
“Boss Fighters QR is a game that hits every single target it set out to hit, perfectly — and that's rare to the point of almost not existing. If you haven't read between the lines yet, I highly recommend it!”
“Boss Fighters QR is a confident, modern hybrid design that blends physical and digital play in a way that feels natural, exciting, and genuinely innovative. It's a cooperative experience full of discovery, teamwork, and escalating tension — a game that understands what makes boss battles fun and brings that energy to the tabletop with style.”
“Cooperative play that's truly challenging that you can play in an hour where you get to really create these lovely characters and you get to add cards to your hand and cull between bosses where you get to just do these really, really fun things.”(11:44)
“But I think if you can get past that basic QR functionality, I think this game is really cool. So, I'm excited to play more of it and see what else it has to offer.”(26:16)
“This is a fun little game. It's the kind of game I can see me playing with my uh with my nephews and uh and nieces and um yeah, I think it's one that I'm sure I'll play with it with my gaming group just to get to the table and play it, but solo it works really well.”(31:06)
“I love everything about this game. I just wish it was more like, up, uh, like a somewhere around a Netrunner level of depth and complexity rather than a Pokemon or a Yu-Gi-Oh.”(5:19)
“I recognize there's the issues with the app, but those are so minor to me because to me, this takes the feeling of a big epic boss fighting game that's going to take two hours and it parses it down into being a very quick setup, very quick to play.”(21:55)
“It would not surprise me if this game didn't win plenty of awards for its integration of the video game and board game worlds, though it's definitely not for me because of that same reason.”
