A punishing but rewarding arcade-style brawler where every enemy demands you learn its attack patterns to survive.

What players say
Players say this is a brutally difficult 2D action game that demands near-perfect execution and pattern memorization. Combat is simple yet punishing with a weird control scheme, and the game can be beaten in about an hour.
