Fist Puncher is really a standout example of how to do retro right, and is something that certainly deserves more attention.

Fist Puncher is a welcome and extended return to the heyday of brawlers. The Good: Fun combat, lots of blood and gore, varied environments, fun RPG system The Bad: Ugly visuals, repetitive combat, too many levels, combat is too simple, can be really hard without partners 8-bit brawlers ...

Fist Puncher‘s name fits it well. It’s a game where you punch a great many things and will have a lot of fun doing so. While that fun is hampered a bit with navigation problems, when those don’t crop up, it’s impossible to not enjoy yourself. The high character roster helps add a lot of replay value to a game in a genre that traditionally lacks it.

This is a game that hardcore fans of the genre are more likely to want to spend some time with. Casuals are better off grabbing something like Castle Crashers or Chronicles of Mystara instead, as they are quite a bit better so far as beat 'em ups on the PC go.

With some occasionally impenetrable difficulty and lack of online co-op, it feels like quite the disappointment by the time you put the controller down. If the rest of the game had been better designed, could it have risen above its brawler genre constraints? That’s a question to which we’ll never know the answer.
