  • Historical setting
  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Playing together in co-op

You battle as a British warrior against Roman legions and treacherous allied tribes in a stylish 2D beat 'em up with hand-drawn visuals. Teaming up with a friend in co-op makes smashing through the hordes especially fun.

Sengoku 2

Playing together in co-op

A classic arcade beat 'em up in which a warrior from the future fights hordes of undead soldiers and a supernaturally empowered ruler in feudal Japan. Fast-paced brawling with a mystical Sengoku-era flavor.

SoulCalibur

Co-op or multiplayer

A landmark 3D weapon-based fighter with fluid, fast duels, sidestepping movement and a varied roster. Great for local versus matches and arcade runs.

Karateka

Action-packed real-time combat

You fight your way through feudal Japan as a lone martial artist to rescue Mariko from the warlord Akuma. This remake brings the 1984 classic into modern visuals, built around direct, timing-based fights and a stripped-down, focused feel.

One Strike

Challenging difficulty

One Strike is a fast duel fighter inspired by Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, where every fight is win-or-die. Precise timing decides whether you survive and build your reputation as a legend.

The Last Blade 2

Co-op or multiplayer

An elegant SNK 2D weapon-based fighter set in late-Edo Japan, built around parries, timing and precise special moves. Hand-drawn anime fighters and an atmospheric soundtrack make it a genre classic.

For Honor

Playing together in co-op

A weighty melee brawler where knights, vikings and samurai clash using a stance-based system that rewards parries, feints and reading your opponent. Tense PvP duels and team battles are the heart of it, with a short campaign on the side.

Chivalry 2

Co-op or multiplayer

A chaotic first-person multiplayer melee game set in huge medieval battles and castle sieges. Swordplay hinges on timing, parries and teamwork, with plenty of absurd slapstick moments along the way.

Mother Russia Bleeds

Playing together in co-op

An ultra-violent pixel-art beat 'em up set in an alternate Soviet Union, playable solo or with up to three friends. Its drug mechanic doubles as healing, and the grim, uncompromising atmosphere defines the whole experience.
