8,000,000+ downloads! Mokken is super popular. *this is a very easy and simple fighting game thought. *PvP (Player versus Player) mode is very exciting! *By strengthening and RPG element, this is highly addictive! This is the best free game for killing time. In this app, you can play in three modes: Mokken 1, Mokken 2, and Sekken. The first screen you can play with is Mokken 2. *How to play It is a game to compete how many enemies you can knock down with punches and kicks. Easy to use: Button A: Punch Button B: Kick *counter attack It is very advantageous to decide the counter. It can do a lot of damage and even cancel enemy attacks. The way of countering is to make the same attack as the enemy first. Your feet will turn red when your opponent is about to kick, so try to kick at the same time. *special weapon If you press buttons A and B at the same time, you can perform a special move. But I'm weak. The enemy will also give you a special move, so you should avoid it by crouching down or taking time. *make a fighter If you make a fighter, it will be stronger than now. Let's make a new fighter by collecting materials and coins. Materials are collected on the title screen. You can get coins as fighting money if you fight. When you create a new fighter, the next fighter is unlocked. *knack Since the enemy moves in a pattern of making a pause and then attacking, if you take it by the reverse hand and let it take a pause at all times, you will not attack much. So, if you go too close and make sure to counter attack, you can win with no damage. *Match mode "Sekken" It's a mode that makes fighting games simpler. A stick man fights furiously using a physical engine. Enter from the button on the left of the title screen. *How to play Button A: Punch + Forward Button B: Kick + Back *Mode You can play the following in the matchup mode: *play alone I play against a computer. The winner is the one who leads the second round. *Let's play together. Two people can play on one screen. Enjoy with friends and family. *play with someone You can have an online battle. It's a completely serious face-to-face match. The bot is not here. So you can't play when there is no other person. *Let's change the name. Let's change the play name displayed during the online battle to show the existence! Also, the number of wins will be displayed next to each other, so you will be a veteran player after many games! It might be a good idea to use the same name for the ranking. BGM: SHRK

Sumoscience is a game for people who want to learn more about sumo. It models the physics (forces/collisions) between the wrestlers. You can do a frontal pushout, belt pushout, slapdowns, and throws. You can practice in the practice room or try your skills in a one or two player tournament. In the practice room, you can change the attack style and level of your opponent to practice how to deal with certain attacks. You can also select automatic play to watch the computer play itself. In the game, you are the wrestler with the yellow belt. On the right side is a first-person view of your opponent with buttons for various attacks. 1) Chest attack: Press the red button the push the chest. You need to be moving forward for this to be effective. 2) Slapdown: Drag down the yellow button and your arm will reach for their head and attempt to pull them down. After your arm makes contact with their head (button turns blue), you need to move backward to give more force to your pull. This only works if your opponent is moving forward. 3) Grip Belt: You can press the green buttons to reach for the belt. When you have a grip, the button will turn blue. You can push them out of the ring. If you have a two-hand grip, you can sometimes lift them. You can escape from this grip by turning quickly. 4) Throw: Once you have a grip, you can turn quickly to the side opposite your grip. Once you are facing the same direction, you can step forward to throw them. 5) The forward and back buttons are on the left. The turn button is in the middle of the first-person view and it must be dragged left or right to turn.  There is a tournament room where you can compete in a tournament and get ranked from low Maegashira to Yokozuna. A tournament consists of 15 matches and you need to win 8 to be promoted. To get promoted to Ozeki, you need 33 wins in the last three matches. To get promoted to Yokozuna, you need to win two consecutive tournaments. When you finish a tournament, your rank will be posted on the leaderboards. There is one for overall high scores and one that is reset each month to provide a monthly tournament. In real world sumo, Yokozuna is an honorary rank and you cannot go down to ozeki (a Yokozuna can only retire). To simulate this, there is a Yokozuna leaderboard where the scores of tournaments by Yokozuna will be posted in terms of recency. To stay at the top of this leaderboard, you must regularly be in tournaments as a Yokozuna, otherwise your name will go down the list and that will be like retirement. Also, in this room you can change the color of the sumo’s belt. Just click on the belt of either your own wrestler or your opponent, and select the color from the wheel. Then click the belt again to close the selector. There is also a two-person room where you can play with others over wifi. Just connect to the same wifi. One player should press player 1 and the other player 2. Then both players press play and when they are both done, the sumo wrestlers will bow and the game will start. At the end, player 1 needs to press play to reset the game and then both players need to press play to start the bow. Sumoscience attempts to mimic some of the difficulties in real sumo. The chest push is easy, but you need to keep your opponent in front of you. Slapdowns are more difficult, because you need to have enough room to move backwards without going out. Gripping the belt and pushing them out is relatively straight-forward, but can be difficult if they are doing the same thing to you. Throws are a powerful move, but they require the coordination of multiple movements. As in real sumo, moving forward and keeping your opponent in front of you are the basis of a good technique.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sumoscience at none against Fighting games's shown. Sumoscience also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Fighting games's advantage is ratings volume (556 vs 8) and review sentiment (85% vs 73%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fighting games sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Sumoscience sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sumoscience holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fighting games has 556 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Fighting games's written reviews are positive against 73% of Sumoscience's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fighting games ships an update every 5 weeks, Sumoscience monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
