If everything I just said didn’t convince you, then maybe the coveted Thumb Culture Platinum essentials award will. Fight’N Rage deserves this award, as it is a masterpiece of a modern beat’em up stuffed with all sorts of retro-nostalgia, plus this port from the original PC version is outstanding. I know it won’t be coming off my switch any time soon. What are you waiting for? Go get it on the Nintendo Switch eShop!

Fight N' Rage is a great addition to the beat'em up genre. Fast paced and over the top, it's sure to appeal to new gamers while reaching old school gamers who grew up on Streets of Rage and Final Fight.

A gloriously amateur game that puts to shame all the constraints and compromises of so-called professional development.

If you can ignore some of its questionable elements, Fight'N Rage delivers one of the most mechanically satisfying brawlers out there. It feels responsive and fast, opponents’ attacks are well telegraphed that make encounters fair, and the parry mechanic adds an additional layer of complexity.

Fight'N Rage is a lot of fun, and will definitely tickle the nostalgia in games like me that grew up on arcade style beat 'em up games like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more. The visuals and music as spot-on, and the branching paths with multiple endings and unlockables provide some pretty solid replay value. Unfortunately the combat itself is still a bit too shallow for my liking, some of the stages can feel a bit cheap / frustrating as well. Brawler fans owe it to themselves to give this one a try.

Great on PC and great on consoles. It is a port from PC without changes, but the original work does not need either. A classic beat'em up with a modern and exquisite playability, a bizarre artistic design, and much content to spend hours perfecting our mastery and remembering those wonderful golden years of the brawler genre and the arcades. Essential.

If you really enjoy the frantic nature of the game, there is lots for you to come back to. Most of the enemies you encounter can be unlocked as a playable character, and the levels are filled with branching paths and decisions you can make leading to more than 40 endings for you to unlock. So clearly this game is packed with content and replay value. However it’s up to you to make the most of it and spend a lot of time mastering the battle system in order for you to really appreciate it. The levels are large and can go on for a long time. But as I’ve mentioned before the game is oozing with style so that can potentially keep you playing even if it will kick your butt for a while. Also the music is rocking, with plenty of metal tunes to compliment the action and mayhem on screen as you are sending enemies flying or being sent flying yourself. For $20 Fight ‘N Rage is a nice little gem, however your enjoyment of it really depends on how much you are willing to put up with the learning curve. If it clicks for you and you enjoy mastering the parry system and learn how to chain attacks properly, this will probably be among the best beat ’em ups you’ve ever played and the unlockable content is sure to keep you coming back for more.

Sebastián Garcia is a genius and what he has designed here is an absolutely tremendous feat. I would love to see Capcom work with him on an official side scrolling Street Fighter game similar to how Sega did with Sonic The Hedgehog fans on Sonic Mania.

After many years where the classic beat-em-up wasn't getting much representation indie developers have really begun to rejuvenate the genre...

Altogether, Fight'N Rage is a superb effort. Very few throwbacks are fit to hold a candle to the classics of yesteryear, but this one admirably stands alongside. Every subsystem and game mechanic works wonderfully. The three playable characters are incredibly diverse and fun to play, while still retaining a simplistic three-button control setup. The multiple difficulties represent a challenge that grows with the player's skill. Even on the hardest setting, enemy stats aren't boosted to absurd levels, making every battle a slog. The ambitious routing system works quite well, giving every playthrough something new to look forward to.

But the good far, far outweighs the bad in Fight’N Rage. It really is one of the best side-scrolling beat ’em ups currently available.

Fight'N Rage is a 16-bit-styled beat-'em-up that expands on the genre's strengths but also keeps a couple of its weaknesses.

Fight'N Rage delivers an entertaining experience that strongly reminds us of golden age of Beat'em Up and games like Street of Rage. If you have played classic Beat'em up games, playing Fight'N Rage feels nostalgic. Gameplay is simple yet deep and challenging, and because of different paths and decisions that players encounter throughout the game, there are more than 50 endings. Without a doubt, Fight'N Rage is one of the best Indie games of 2019 that is super entertaining to play...

Fight'N Rage surpasses the bias of a modern clone of beat 'em up classics, deserving to be at the top alongside those that inspired it. It is fun, challenging in the right way, beautiful, and has some of the best soundtracks of all time. For fans of virtual beat 'em ups, it is practically mandatory.

Fight'N Rage reminds you of a classic '90s arcade game, though the controls don't hold up. Otherwise, with nostalgic graphics and music, it'd be a great game.
