With so many charming characters and a unique tag battle play style, you will be hooked for hours. Play among eight different female characters, each with a unique combo and attacks. The gameplay mechanic is like classic fighting games; buttons are simplified to light, medium to heavy. Although they are simple, applying them in combat is equally difficult. Even the easy difficulty mode gets hard for newcomers.

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja storm 4

Naruto’s deep fighting mechanic is different from any other fighting game. Its fast-paced combat with gorgeous visuals is what keeps me playing more. You can perform an attack with only one button, but there are other mechanics such as chakra charge, throwing projectiles at enemies, and the ultimate button that makes fighting complex.

It’s comfortable to play with its three-dimensional stage where you can move sideways to dodge enemies’ attacks. Now with more health points, you can beat your opponent against the wall and keep them there, although it demands you to learn skillful combos. Customizing characters is ridiculous, sometimes breaking the tone of a serious cut scene but adding a new dimension to visuals. You can go all wild with fashionable pieces and experiment with different attire matches. Playing with friends while bricks on your head creates a unique sense of fun during a fight. 

Mortal Kombat 11

It’s vicious, it’s bloody, it’s ridiculous, and it’s awesome. Break your opponent’s bones with crushing blows and rip them apart with fatality. Mortal Kombat deals heavily with violence, but that’s where all the bloody fun is. The Player mechanic is toned down to a slower pace by removing the run mechanically, but it has upgraded other fighting mechanics, resulting in balanced gameplay. Playing aggressive won’t be enough in this new franchise. Players need to play smart and focus on attacks. However, a new mechanic allows players to perform fatal blows when their health is thirty or below.

The King of Fighter 14

The game has a complex mechanic that demands players to smash buttons precisely. Each character’s moves and combinations are complex and require a button combination that sometimes feels unusual. It’s a kind of game that challenges each round. However, playing with friends is fun when you both smash buttons and try to land combos. It requires patients and focus to fully emerge but once hooked, you will be hitting every note flawlessly. 

Injustice 2

The second installment to Injustice: Gods among us, Injustice 2, improves in every aspect of the previous franchise.
