Art of Fighting

Fast pace

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Fantasy setting

Double Dragon IV

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

One Finger Death Punch

Fast pace

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.

Samurai Shodown II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic SNK 2D weapon-based fighter where you pick one of 15 warriors and duel. Few, heavy hits, precise timing and spacing make every match tense.

Thunder Ray

Boss fights as highlights

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.

Double Dragon

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.
