![]() Most similar fighting games don’t have these, especially when the arenas are as small as they are. Meanwhile, the action itself, which is often over in seconds due to operator error or a strong start from your enemies, can be heavily stunted by inter-round loading screens that often feel longer than the battles. Don’t ask me how it’s still a mystery, and I’m not looking forward to guessing again. PC: press the left mouse button, then right mouse button.

The graphics are inconsistent and pretty lo-fi to begin with combined with frame-rate drops when the action’s high, it can look and act like a last-gen effort on low PC settings. You can get stuck out of camera view every now and again. It’s not great to get hit by a train so hard that your character’s head clips through a wall and your body flails on the other side, forcing you to restart the bout. Still, there are actual problems that affect the overall running of the game. Some levels can be more complex than others, but you'll always be focused on pummelling the. Some are part of the fabric and make things funnier, like hitboxes that are frightfully inconsistent, or a climbing mechanic that’s more chance than skill. With a game that’s this gloriously unpolished, there are bound to be issues. Sometimes, as I found here in a wholly luck-based one-on-one victory, the seeming champion can often become the loser in a heartbeat. It makes the game so much more exciting when you know that falling over an edge isn’t game over, so long as you’re capable of clutching a wall, bar or railing on your way out.
