Good

Doesn’t update level up reward properly but everything else good

Fun & Challenging

I am suprized, this game might not look like much at first, but it is a sleeper. I play it every day, its one of my favorites .

I dont regularly write reviews

…however I can tell that y’all clearly made this game out of the love for the sport, but I noticed that the last update was 9 months ago and most of the reviews were written from the last year, so I’m hoping that y’all didn’t abandon development of this game because I’ve had a few suggestions to improve the game.

First, I wanted to suggest an expansion of fighting styles because almost every fighter seems the same because there are only 4 classes so i wanted to suggest adding “Judo” and “Muay Thai”. Some moves from Judo are in the “BJJ” class and some moves from Muay Thai are in the “Karate” class, so if there’s an expansion of classes more moves can be added and classes wouldn’t have moves from other Martial arts included in them.

Second, I wanted to suggest more submissions, the game gets kind of boring for submission users when there’s only 4 different submissions to use.

Wrestling- “Arm Triangle”, “Twister”, “Chin Lock”, and “Ankle Lock”

BJJ- “Anaconda”, Darce Choke”, “Kimura”, “Americana” “Gogoplata”, “Omoplata”, “Heel Hook”, “Knee bar”

Third, I wanted to suggest more positions such as a “Standing Clinch” position under the Karate (or Muay Thai) class, and a “Side Control” or a “Sprawl” or a “Flattened Back Mount” position under wrestling or even a “Kesa-gatame” for the BJJ (or Judo) class, and buffs for submissions that fit with these positions as well as restrictions for submissions that don’t. and an idea for the “Standing Clinch” position is buff to knee and elbow strikes and flying submissions such as “Arm Bars” or “Triangles”.

I know that most of this won’t happen considering how small development is but I just wanted to throw in some suggestions that can probably help the game a little, this was kind of my version of a wish list for this game, Im hoping y’all even read this to be honest considering how long I made it.

Great Game, needs improvement

Seems to be pay to win as of right now as I’ve had 5-6 guys and hundreds of fights yet every guy on the leaderboards is way higher than i am in every skill. Legit a level 10 everything fighting level 15+ average. Also there’s no reason for me to get a submission result from a takedown. Don’t understand that.

That being said, there’s a lot of love clearly in the design and idea of the game. Worth playing but I hope it’s improved in some time.

Great game

Clearly made with love, fun to play just a little silly that takedowns can result in a submission loss instead of exclusivity submissions my only criticism
