  • Competing against other players
  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Co-op or multiplayer

A minimalist fencing tug-of-war where two players lunge, parry and hurl swords to push through to the end of the stage and be devoured by the Nidhogg. Lightning-fast, chaotic and ideal for local head-to-head rivalries.

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors

Competing against other players

A classic Capcom 2D fighter where you battle as a vampire, werewolf, mummy and other monsters using special moves and combos. Its exaggerated, fluidly animated cartoon-style monsters give it its distinctive charm.

Celebrity Deathmatch

Distinctive, stylised art style

A wrestling-style brawler based on MTV's claymation series, where celebrity caricatures battle in the ring with absurd weapons like chainsaws and crossbows. Its appeal lies in crude humor and the clay-animation look.

Nidhogg 2

Competing against other players

A frantic 2D sword-fighting duel where two players tug-of-war their way across bizarre, ever-changing arenas. Quick reflexes, weapon switching and a garish art style make it a great couch rivalry game.

Action-packed real-time combat

An over-the-top arcade boxing game with flamboyant fighters, easy-to-learn controls and flashy special punches. Great for quick bouts solo or against friends.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A simplified 2-on-2 tag-team fighter starring SNK's female fighters, where special moves trigger with a single button and items can swing a match. Easy entry and fan service take priority over deep fighting-game mechanics.

Divekick

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A one-hit fighting game boiled down to two buttons: jump and dive. It parodies fighting game tropes and tournament culture with plenty of humor, and duels hinge on precise timing and spacing.

Fatal Fury

Competing against other players

A classic 1991 SNK fighting game following Terry Bogard's fight against crime lord Geese Howard. Its standout feature is the two-plane system that lets fighters shift between foreground and background lanes.
