While I don't consider myself to be that much into the fighting genre, I do like to dabble with the genre every once in a while whenever I see something new on my review list. Although there are probably some games that haven't been listed and could be added to the current list of just (8), it is important to keep in mind that this list is compiled based on my own personal experiences with games that I have actually played myself rather than looking for answers elsewhere and saying what everyone else would be saying When we talk about fighting games, we mean that the primary focus of the game is on fighting, and that it may involve a lengthy number of different combinations or simply the traditional beat-em-up style of combat, with other aspects thrown in to give it a little bit more complexity.

The presentation of the game alone has me thinking about checking out the series whenever I get some free time. Except for the lack of English / Japanese narration, I have no complaints about this game, which is a mix of ripped Japanese voices from Blazblue narration.

I played through each version and the full release is better than Early Access, since it has so much more content and is overall a great experience. I do wish there was a bit more diversity in level design as it does feel scarce, though this may be due to the fact that I have played 14 hours. Also the PvPvE game mode ping is just way to high for the server they have currently at least for NA players.

DestructionCompetitiveRetroNostalgia

If you are not very interested in the in-depth fighting games and you want something a bit more old-school, then that is completely understandable; though, I would not consider this to be a typical, run-of-the-mill fighting game that you are accustomed to seeing. It is something that you can sit down and have fun with no matter what type of gamer you are, especially when you are with your friends, because it is genuinely trying to be fun and entertaining.

Furi Demake - The Chain

Pixel GraphicsRetroFast-pacedSide Scroller

Furi Demake is a free-to-play remake of the original "Furi" fighting game. It does a perfect job of encapsulating the spirit and feel of the original game, and it uses a vintage side scroller element to do it. Seeing combat from a side viewpoint for the first time compared to a top down or third person was quite the change; regardless of whether you have played Furi before or not, this is an excellent quick little challenging boss fight.

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-

0 Want

While Guilty Gear is one of the most popular fighting games since the release in 2021, it's been one of my least favorites not due to the game itself, but rather due to the match-making system and general unfair fights. Here you will often be paired up with skill leveling pro players.

Cinematically, it brings a lot to the table, as does the selection of characters to pick from, but unless you're someone who already plays it and is extremely proficient at fighting games, beginners are usually not welcome because the game will frequently match them up against Floor 10 players or smurfs.

Street Fighter 6 covers a lot of ground for many types of players. PvE players, competitive players, co-op players, and even retro players that simply want to play earlier titles are all welcome with a free roam style story mode with over 25 hours of gameplay. Customisation is endless.

Sclash

0 Want

Sclash is a visual hand-drawn masterpiece. The painted backgrounds are wonderful as well; it's as if you're watching an animated samurai film. The passionate and symbolic duels generated by the one-hit kill are sure to captivate you. Despite the small number of characters, each has a unique personality. We recommend this game to everyone who like the stunning artwork that is incorporated in fighting games more so than really difficult gameplay.

Kung Fury: Street Rage

Action

You are going to really adore this game if you were a child who grew up playing arcade games from the 1980s. The synth-wave beat is quite amazing, but the game is just a bit too short. As the game advances, more difficult and complex bosses appear. These creatures require you to know combinations of right and left blows to take down, as more and more enemies gather and swarm in an attempt to overwhelm you. The majority of the enemies are easy to eliminate with a single blow, though they can quickly start to overwhelm you if you're not too careful.
