Brand new club member here, so I’m just getting to know the game.

Im getting a lot of airballs directly off the flippers. If the ball is coming down the playfield at a good speed and I flip without catching the ball first, the ball is often catching air right from the flipper. Don’t think I’ve seen this before.

I thought it maybe had to do with the flipper rubber being too low, but each flipper rubber is at a different height as a test, and I get airballs off each.

Why is this game not well thought of?

I know licensed themes vs not, but most of what I see suggests this game is one of the lesser Sterns in recent years.

I had sort of written it off, but played a Prem at a friends a couple months ago and liked it. I found a really nice Prem for a good deal and took a flyer. Holy Shit this game is fun.

It’s hard and kicking my ass, but damn it is such a rush. Playing it way more than everything else recently.

I want to find and play a Pro just out of curiosity, but having a new Prem, I can't imagine the game without the upper playfield. Sure the upper playfield lacks some inspiration, but it's funner than I thought it would be, and the ability to use the upper light lock target in the beast battles is a welcome benefit. I would think the Pro is considerably harder, both because you don't get the respite of the upper playfield time, and you can only damage the beasts on the dangerous lower playfield.

I get that the game lacks depth, but that's part of what I like about it. I have enough deep games; this is a welcome change. I love all of Elwin's games, but BK is just pure adrenalin, and I walk away from it every time saying to myself how freaking fun it is. Games are fast-paced and short. I usually find super drainy games frustrating, but for some reason this one doesn't get under my skin. Just makes me hit the start button again.

The BK music was always cool, but the metal version is awesome! I love the callouts too - EXCEPT for the stupid Butcher line after a skill shot. God I hate that callout. It makes me want to avoid the skillshot. Everything else in the game is either serious or menacing, why throw some dopey line like that in the middle? Stupid. I wish I could get rid of that one.

Anyway, obviously there are *better* games. I own many games that I would say are technically better than this. But the only other game that I have this much outright FUN with is Deadpool. So glad a took a flyer on this game.
