Mortal Kombat 4

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Mortal Kombat 4 is the series' first game with 3D character models, delivering one-on-one brawls with gory fatalities and a roster of returning fighters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Liu Kang. It adds weapon-based combat and the main villain Shinnok.

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.

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.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Golden Axe II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic side-scrolling fantasy beat 'em up where you pick a warrior, amazon or dwarf and brawl through hordes of enemies alone or with a friend, using magic and riding beasts.

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

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.

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.

Art of Fighting

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 1992 SNK fighting game in which Ryo and Robert set out to rescue Yuri from Mr. Big. It stands out for its huge sprites, a spirit gauge that drains with special moves, and desperation attacks.
