    One Strike is a truly unique, 'pure' video game. For the asking price, you get a rather fresh take on the one-on-one fighting genre and it can quickly become your go-to game when you are in need of a break between other more complex games or just need a quick burst of intensive reflex exercise. Find a group of like-minded players to play it with you and it becomes your current best, most efficient option to ruin friendships on the Switch (at least until Super Mario Party is released). Grab it without fear and then... either strike or die. There are literally no other options.

    One Strike lets you take control of six different warriors as you fight to determine who is the deadliest. The simplistic yet tense gameplay will keep you on your toes. The small roster and limited variety to the modes are fun in bursts, but not for extended periods of time. That being said, One Strike is a fun fighter to pick up and play at a low cost.

With your only options beingAt first, this game seems incredibly simple and uninspired, with very limited move set and only six fighters. With your only options being move, dash, attack, and block, you might be tempted to give up on this game after only a few minutes. Don't. Each of the game's fighters has hidden nuances to be discovered and mastered, making for some extremely fun, quick, and intense one-on-one duels with friends and family. If you have someone to play with, whose friendship you're willing to lose, this game is a steal.… Full Review »

The differentI personally love games that have simple mechanics but are hard to master, and this game features that, and more Extras. The different gamemodes are super fun, and the variety of characters ist just right for my taste, except for one, and that is Hangaku. She is incredibly overpowered, because every other character has one ability he exceeds in, but lacks in another department. But Hangaku has the highest range of all fighters, while having little to no downsides, making her incredibly powerful, even as a easy difficulty bot. If this would get patched/balanced, this game would be in my favourites of all time.… Full Review »
