Brings what grabs you about Vigilante: melee combat with weapons or fists, action-packed real-time combat and a clearly guided structure.

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.

Battle Arena Toshinden 3

Linear, curated structure

You fight in cramped, cage-like arenas against over thirty distinct characters, each wielding their own weapons and moves. The appeal is fast, fluid real-time weapon duels in a 3D fighter.

One Finger Death Punch

Challenging difficulty

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.

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.

Burning Fight

Easy to pick up

You fight through rough Japanese streets as detectives Duke or Billy, and it shines most when you team up with a friend. It delivers the direct, gritty brawling of a classic arcade beat 'em up.

One Finger Death Punch 2

Challenging difficulty

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.

Iron Snout

Linear, curated structure

A fast, over-the-top arcade brawler where a piglet uses kung-fu reflexes and improvised weapons to fend off waves of wolves. Short, chaotic rounds full of slapstick humor.

Zeno Clash

Challenging difficulty

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.

Sengoku

Easy to pick up

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.
