Our Expert Score

81/100

King of Opera is the definitive 'party game' for mobile devices. It’s wacky, loud, and incredibly competitive in the best way possible. The premise—four opera singers fighting for the spotlight—is hilarious, and the 'one-button' control scheme makes it accessible to absolutely anyone, regardless of their gaming experience. You don't need to be a pro; you just need to time your bumps correctly to knock your friends off the stage.

What makes it stay fresh is the variety of game modes. Whether you're playing the 'Original' mode, dodging the bull tenor, or trying to stay alive in 'Last Man Standing,' the physics-based chaos is constant. It’s one of the few games that truly works as a local multiplayer experience on a single tablet, leading to genuine laughter and shouting matches. It’s simple, polished, and perfectly captures the spirit of couch co-op for the mobile era.

Timing the Bump

Since your tenor is constantly spinning, you don't control direction—only forward movement. Wait for your character to face the spotlight or an opponent before tapping the button to charge forward.

Avoiding the Bull

In modes where the Bull Tenor is present, stay away from the edges of the stage. The Bull will target whoever is in the spotlight, so sometimes it's safer to let an opponent take the light for a moment.
