How it feels

A lovingly crafted, stripped-down 2D fighter that channels the gritty, no-frills feel of classic kung fu films with authentic sounds and a curated soundtrack.

What players say

Players call this a janky but charming indie fighter, a love letter to 70s-90s kung fu movies. The huge roster and stages shine, but the engine feels basic and controls can lag, so it is not for competitive play.
