How it feels

A slow, deliberate management sim where you carefully build a fighting promotion week by week, feeling the weight of each decision as careers and rivalries unfold.

What players say

Players appreciate the concept and bones of an MMA sim with lethal fights, but find the tutorial lacking, the menus clunky, and the battles entirely text-based with no animations. Many call the content barebones, though the developer is actively updating and communicating.
