How it feels

This is a fast-paced, arcade-style fighting game with violent combat and a grim post-apocalyptic tournament setting.

What players say

Players describe The Risers as a janky, unbalanced fighting game with glitchy camera and broken mechanics, but many enjoy its cheap 80s horror arcade charm and surprisingly good character endings. It is best played with friends and a controller, though keyboard controls are cumbersome and crashes are common.
