    First of Awesome suffers due to a lack of variety, but it remains an enjoyable experience in small chunks.

    Fist of Awesome is worth picking up depending upon your affinity for classic arcade brawlers, and bears.

    What's here at the moment more than justifies the pocket money impulse purchase price, and the few hours it will take you to bash your way through to the end.

    It's beautifully put together and full of laughs, but the violence in Fist of Awesome gets old a little too quickly.

    I had fun with this, but I could also see how it could get under the skin of some who are growing tired with hipster pixel art games. Case in point: developer I Fight Bears makes “Games For People With Beards.” Granted, that’s a joke. But I can’t tell whether or not there’s a line in Fist of Awesome that divides between satire or pandering.

    Fist of Awesome is an arcade-style brawler in the vein of classics like Double Dragon.

    Presented with wit and style, Fist of Awesome is a good old-fashioned arcade romp with some seriously entertaining sound effects.

    No doubt that Fist of Awesome is hilarious and completely nonsense, but it's also really repetitive and bearing. I mean... boring.

    Fist Of Awesome is simple but really fun, with a great "retro-visuals" and cool 8bit-like chip tunes.

After a while it got frustrating when you could barely move because you were surrounded. But there are a few redeeming qualities of this game that did leave me with the “I might not buy it right away” feeling but would eventually break down and buy it.… Full Review »
