Video game of unclear notability. There have been reviews but that's par for the course for new games. Search of Google brings up 77 unique results, mostly places to download it. Prod contested. ... discospinster _talk 20:36, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Bad/unnecessary relist in my opinion (number of votes being 2 vs 2 is not equal to consensus and the arguments of the nominator AND the other delete !voter have been refuted with sources shown and the tone of the article is not WP:PROMO anymore ). Passes WP:GNG per having coverage in multiple reliable sources that are also listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources.

Pocket Gamer https://www.pocketgamer.com/articles/062334/smash-champs/

148Apps (which is a situational one but is applicable here) http://www.148apps.com/reviews/smash-champs-review/

Engadget https://www.engadget.com/2014/11/07/smash-champs-is-stunning-unique-and-action-packed/

Not really the most notable mobile game for sure, especially compared to Subway Surfers which is the other game from the same developer, but enough to pass the guidelines. There have been reviews but that's par for the course for new games is ignoring what WP:GNG is. Not all the new games get reviews, especially mobile ones because there is too many of them nowadays.
