    GUTS is one of the most fun games I played in a long time. It is not often that you see a game that dares to innovate with different mechanics in an established genre. GUTS takes the fighting games main mechanics and turn it upside down to deliver a new experience - and a hilarious one.

    As you don't have health bars, you must chop off limbs of your rivals to win. That may sound gross at    GUTS is one of the most fun games I played in a long time. It is not often that you see a game that dares to innovate with different mechanics in an established genre. GUTS takes the fighting games main mechanics and turn it upside down to deliver a new experience - and a hilarious one.

    As you don't have health bars, you must chop off limbs of your rivals to win. That may sound gross at first, but the game treats it in a very light-hearted way, with colorful scenarios and characters and funny quotes and animations that take off the weight of what would be otherwise a maybe controversial mechanic.

    The result is that GUTS is a blast to play, both alone or with friends. With a story mode that features two endings per characters, local versus with several game modes, and online gameplay that works well, it is an awesome value for your money.

    In the end, GUTS brings very deep, yet accessible, gameplay mechanics that allows it to be both a party game just for fun, but also a competitive game that can easily become a contender in the e-sport competitive scene. You can button mash your way into victories, but when one of the players actually master the character and the U-Point system, skill comes in and it is what defines who wins.

    Everyone should give GUTS a try. It is a bold game that brings new ideas to the fighting genre and brings back the fun of smashing your friends without the need to practice for days to have fun.    … Expand

    This game is awesome and a lot of fun. It's perfect for playing with friends. One of the things I liked most is the fact that the soundtrack is dynamic and change according to the character's status.

    Really good game! Glad to know that the developers are coming up with updates and new contents. Had a great time with my friends chopping limbs off, the mechanics are very original.

    GUTS is a great fighting game where you can have awesome comebacks even when playing with a limbless fighter! Not having a health bar is incredibly fun, and throwing your own lost limbs on your opponent face is hilarious!

    This game humor makes you laugh out loud with the stories and situations of each character. It's a fun game to play with friends and I love to try new combos and finish them with a Guts Move.

    The satire of GUTS would be so much better if the gameplay stuck its landing. Sketchy and numb gameplay simply doesn’t cut it. As it is, GUTS is a mere curiosity. A quirky look at a gory game show with some genuinely good ideas, like a combat log after a fight (I would love it in Tekken!) and fighting not measured in habitual health and time. Even though GUTS doesn’t take it seriously, it’s done seriously. I can only hope that Flux Game Studio continues to develop their obvious labor of love further. Maybe by the time the game makes its way to the consoles next year, its gameplay will have evolved further.

    For 20 bucks, you get a halfway decent fighting game that does very well at trying something a bit different. It has some flaws with its combat, but I still found some combos and strategies to be fun to execute. If only there were some people playing the online, it would have made the game much more enjoyable, but until it gathers a following, solo players will finish its offerings within a few hours. It’s a hard sell currently, but for those looking for a different take on the fighting game genre, there’s much worse games out there to play.

    GUTS is gory, messy, bloody, violent, and... did I say gory yet? Well, it's gory enough to say it twice. Beyond that, GUTS is an approachable yet mildly complex fighting game that will appeal to people just trying out a fighting game for the first time, or experienced fighters looking for a change of pace.
