Dunk Lords is ugly and a bit janky at times, but I ended up enjoying its “hero shooter” take on the classic NBA Jam style of gameplay. It’s a game that’s less about mastering techniques and more about wreaking havoc while occasionally scoring a few dunks.

I wish Dunk Lords featured streamlined gameplay because there's certainly a fun formula here but it's buried under complex mechanics.

Unless you’re an NBA 2K fan that needs a bit of variety or you have a few friends to play with on a regular basis, simply avoid Dunk Lords. The gameplay is fun and I do appreciate the mix of basketball and combat inspired gameplay, but playing against the A.I. is a frustration filled experience. The fact that they rarely miss shots and mow you down on the court, even on the easier difficulty setting, doesn’t make it a fun, arcade basketball game.
