Melee combat with weapons or fists

Karateka

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

An early Konami arcade classic that helped lay the foundation for modern fighting games: as kung-fu fighter Lee, you defeat a series of opponents with different weapons and styles in short, reflex-driven duels.

The Legend of Korra

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A compact beat 'em up set in the Avatar universe where Korra switches between water, earth, fire and air mid-fight. Combat revolves around the distinct bending styles, with pro-bending arena matches and endless-runner sections as extras.

Zeno Clash

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A surreal first-person brawler set in the bizarre punk-fantasy world of Zenozoik, where outcast Ghat fights mostly with fists rather than guns. A short, uncompromisingly weird journey with a truly unique look.

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Melee combat with weapons or fists

One Finger Death Punch

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lightning-fast kung-fu brawler played with just two buttons: you click left or right to hit enemies at exactly the right moment. The result is fluid, movie-like fight choreography that feels like a rhythm and reflex test.
