  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A physics-driven combat game where you play a fighting rabbit, countering, throwing, kicking and slashing your way through enemies. Its fluid yet hard-to-master controls and a big modding community set it apart.

Shadow Fight 2

Fantasy setting

A 2D silhouette fighting game that blends duels with RPG progression: you collect weapons and armor, upgrade skills and moves, and take down opponents in one-on-one fights and boss battles.

One Finger Death Punch 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lightning-fast stickman kung-fu brawler played with just two buttons, built around precise timing and reflexes. Fights feel like choreographed martial-arts movies as you chew through waves of enemies.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

Fantasy setting

An action adventure with fighting-game-inspired combat set in the bizarre land of Zenozoik, where the warrior Pseudo hunts for powerful artifacts. Its offbeat art direction and ritual-driven combat give it a distinct identity.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Jumping and platforming

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arena hack-and-slash where you cut through waves of demons with katana slashes and hand-to-hand moves. You wound enemies first, then sheathe your sword for a stylish finishing blow.

Flame Keeper

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced action rogue-lite with responsive combat, where you cross varied lands, fight enemies and collect energy to keep a flame alive. Its stylized look and platforming elements give the genre its own twist.

Croixleur Sigma

Fantasy setting

In Croixleur Sigma you face fast, stylized 2D duels between two rivals whose friendship is tested by a ritual that decides the realm's future. The combat rewards precise reactions and clean timing.
