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 CharactersGal: 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.CreditsAll 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. 1075eedd30 Title: Fight'N RageGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:sebagamesdevPublisher:sebagamesdevRelease Date: 19 Sep, 2017 Fight'N Rage Hacked A game that surpasses my expectations and overcomes any nostalgia I may have for other 2d beat em ups. It's simply my favorite game in this genre. Thanks to multiple story paths, multiple characters, lots of unlockables and varying difficulties and modes, there is a lot to do. For this type of game, there is a ton of content. None of this would matter if the gameplay wasn't good. I've looked through a few of the negative reviews and more than one spoke about it being a button masher. This is pretty far from the truth and button mashing will only get you so far. Primarily through the earlier beginning stages on normal or maybe all the way through easy, which is to be expected. From juggles, throws, parries, combos, specials to positioning, it's all pretty vital on harder difficulties. There's nothing quite like doing a long combo string on a singular enemy, just to hoover up a few others on the way, juggling them into the air before finishing them off with a special, causing a glorious explosion of bones and points.The music is just awesome. The graphics are pretty sweet. As an professional artist that dabbles in animation and design, I really dig the style. It makes me really want to create my own games! This game being created by primarily one person really has my creativity piqued!For me, there aren't any real cons. Just a few things I'm somewhat neutral on. I do find the story a bit confounding. It's not that it's a particularly convoluted tale or anything and it's pretty unusual to see a story go this far in this type of game to begin with. I think my confusion comes from how the world building is done quite well but the characters still feel like strangers at the end. There are also a few strange tonal decisions I came across. In the story, you have a moment with an an NPC you rescue by rather clever means. Although she looks like all the other girls in the game, which is odd in itself, your character has a moment with them and then they die. It seems like it wants this to be an impactful moment on the player, but it comes and goes very quick and just comes off as violence for no particular good reason. I suppose it's to drive home the fact that the bad guys are bad but.. I don't see that it was particularly needed. Especially since it's not a driving motivation for the characters. it's a path you most likely won't see your first few times through the game. Which brings me to another point. The violence is a bit odd. I don't mind enemies exploding in bones to signify you've basically overkilled them, it feels very cartoony and rewarding but, there is a difference between cartoon violence and some of what's shown in the above mentioned story line. One second I'm surfing and fighting blackbelt turtles, and the next I'm staring at a lady with a knife in her head and lots of cleavage. Not that those two scenarios are in the same branching story paths, but it's the same game. My mind doesn't always know what to think, lol.
