Brings what grabs you about Iron Commando: melee combat with weapons or fists, action-packed real-time combat and combat with precise timing.

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.

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.

Streets of Rage

Challenging difficulty

A classic Sega side-scrolling brawler where you punch and kick your way through a crime-ridden city to a legendary electronic soundtrack, with optional two-player co-op.

Street Fighter

Challenging difficulty

Capcom's original Street Fighter laid the groundwork for the genre with one-on-one duels against opponents from around the world, attack buttons and early command-input special moves. It is clunky and punishing, but historically important.

Double Dragon IV

Challenging difficulty

A deliberately retro side-scrolling brawler in 8-bit style that directly follows Double Dragon II. It offers classic, uncompromising arcade beat 'em up action, including two-player co-op.

Double Dragon

Challenging difficulty

The arcade classic that helped define the beat 'em up genre: punch, kick and grapple your way through waves of street gang thugs, ideally with a friend in co-op, to rescue a kidnapped girlfriend.

Porradaria Upgrade

Challenging difficulty

You play as a mysterious ninja assassin in a 90s-style retro action game, drawn entirely in pixel art. It focuses on classic, straightforward action without much frills.

Streets of Rage Remake

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A huge fan-made remake that combines all three Streets of Rage games into one classic side-scrolling brawler. It offers gang-busting combat, a large roster of fighters, local co-op, and the series' driving electronic soundtrack.

Thunder Ray

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro-style arcade boxing game where you punch your way through the galaxy's best fighters to become the greatest champion of the universe. Fast, bloody bouts are the focus.
