    While the game's basic graphics are knowingly naff and amateurish, they're still, well, a bit naff and amateurish. There's a deliberate Flash game aesthetic at play here that helps with its speed and legibility, especially in handheld mode, but it's not pretty. True, the developer mixes things up and keeps you on your toes with new twists and additions – as well as a couple of bonus modes (including an endless Gauntlet mode and co-op multiplayer) – but you're still essentially pressing the same two buttons again and again. Thankfully, it's always an awful lot of fun to press those two buttons. One Finger Death Punch 2 offers a one-two combo that might be simple, but boy is it effective.

It may be simple and a little repetitive, but after playing about 60% of the game, I can tell you that there is some nuance in the settings of each level.

    There are so many fun choices made in the game, but I only catch glimpses of some because the action can be so fast. Check out the various modes included, including one in which you have to repeatedly shoo a cat out of your frame vision in order to play.

    This game is built for fun. You can enjoy it in small doses or grind away at it like a maniac.    … Full Review »

    This non-stop test of your reaction time and fast-twitch thumb muscles is likely the most entertaining two-dimensional, two-button,This non-stop test of your reaction time and fast-twitch thumb muscles is likely the most entertaining two-dimensional, two-button, stick-figure-fighting game out there. You play as a kung fu master in the form of a generic male-bathroom stick figure symbol and you must press the appropriate button or combination of buttons to unleash a variety of kung fu moves upon the enemy stick figures approaching you from either side. Admittedly, there's not going to be a lot of depth in a game that only makes use of two buttons and nothing more, but the challenge and fun in defeating the several hundred levels of the game lies in the timing, precision, and speed of your button presses as more and more enemies and enemy-types appear at increasing speeds. Additionally, there are some entertaining weapons and powerups that add variety to the action. The music is also well done and matches the theme of the game very well.

    Ultimately, your enjoyment of the game will largely depend on whether (or how fast) you grow tired of the gameplay. Yes, it is basically the same thing over and over, across a few hundred levels. But, since each individual level is only a few minutes long, this is a perfect game for the Switch platform. You can play it in bite sizes on the go and have a lot of fun, put it away for a while, and then easily pick it back up without losing a step. That's exactly what I did and I enjoyed the hell out of it.    … Full Review »

With approx 500 stages, but all are like the same. Different weapons, that all function the same way, different type of mission, that are very similar. After 100 missions you will be bored of doing the same one and other time.
    You can observe the developers try to put more diversity in the game, but this try fall short.    … Full Review »
