    * Parry System: A parry system lets you take the advantage even in the most dangerous situations!
    * Real challenges: It is all about how good you are at the game, not about an "exp" system or other RPG elements that reward your patience. The full moveset of every character is available from the start, so, you do not have to worry about leveling-up anything except your own skills as player!
    * Additional Insane Difficulties: Near impossible extra challenges for pro-gamers (which are not mandatory to unlock all game content).
    * Extremely Polished Gameplay: The playability is focused on fully responsive controls and intuitive commands. The characters can cancel normal attacks into special attacks, release themselves from enemy grabs and perform several chain movements. You will feel the power of controlling a character that perfectly responds to your actions!

    Story:
    In a far future, Earth was devastated by mutants who took control after a worldwide catastrophic event known as "the big pulse", a global scale electromagnetic pulse that put an end to all electronic technology on the planet. Humans are now enslaved by mutants led by "The Boss" in a world ruled by "the law of the jungle".
    However, not everything is lost two humans and a mutant rebel are willing to fight in order to stop this madness. Will they be strong enough? Well... that's up to you!

    Main Characters:
    Gal: A girl who escaped from traders of humans. She's an expert in her own kick-boxing-derived martial art. While her attacks don't have a long reach, her speed and agility have no equal and her technique and endurance are pretty good too. She is capable of avoiding almost every attack, an ability that comes in handy when facing multiple foes.

    Ricardo: A minotaur human-rights activist and a powerful wrestler. He's not very fast and his technique isn't as good as his comrades', but he has a pretty long reach, and his power and endurance are amazing. He's capable of destroying any enemy in record time!

    F. Norris: A runaway ninja whose past is a mystery. He's the one who mastered the ninjutsu style known as "the forbidden technique". While he might be pretty fragile compared to Gal or Ricardo, he has a great combination of reach, power and speed, plus an amazing technique that (when mastered) can take control of any situation.

    Credits:
    All the game (graphics, design and programing) was created by Sebastián García, while the full OST (composed of more than 40 great tracks!) was created by Gonzalo Varela.    … Expand

    Fight'N Rage surpasses the bias of a modern clone of beat 'em up classics, deserving to be at the top alongside those that inspired it. It is fun, challenging in the right way, beautiful, and has some of the best soundtracks of all time. For fans of virtual beat 'em ups, it is practically mandatory.

    With its rip-roaring soundtrack and genuinely impressive retro-future graphical style, Fight'N Rage is a treat for the eyes and ears.

    Fight'N Rage is what you want from a retro-inspired game. It does what you'd expect if the game had been released thirty years ago but then adds a load of extra content in order to keep you interested. If you're a fan of scrolling beat 'em ups, this is as good as it gets.

    Fight'N Rage is a heartfelt tribute to the classic side-scrolling beat'em-up games, but at the same time a title that tries to reinterpret those mechanics and structures in order to give us something more than an experience that runs out in an afternoon.

    10/10 for the genre. Very strong gameplay. Amazing combos, good mechanics and programming, makes it more reminiscent of street fighter or MK10/10 for the genre. Very strong gameplay. Amazing combos, good mechanics and programming, makes it more reminiscent of street fighter or MK rather than your average beat em up. Top notch game design. Mostly heavy action music / metal stuff. A hidden gem that I was sleeping on. The best beat em up I’ve ever played, makes the turtles and streets of rage look like child’s play. I can get it if you’re not a fan of the art style. Also, sometimes it may be difficult to see your character, particularly with 3 players but you’re on autopilot after a while anyway. The unlockable content is endless and so are the endings. Many, many modes. And all of this practically made by one man. 20 euros for this is rather cheap. No online available but there’s 3 people couch co op and that’s what I care about, you can even solo play along with CPU partners. Keyword here is gameplay, makes you wanna come back for more.… Expand
