There are many fighters and brawlers out there, with all of them happily dealing in copious amounts of violence, beatings and aggression. And then in wanders FightNJokes, slamming its drink down on the bar before kicking things off once again. The difference being, this one wants to have a laugh as the brawl picks up.
Running a completely different angle to the usual Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter vibes, FightNJokes brings some humour to the genre, taking players off to wild and wacky, rather wondrous, locations as they travel the world and get their smackdowns in.
Working a 2D retro style, the team at Mental Drink has created FightNJokes with humour right at the fore. That’s not to say that the fighting mechanics won’t be up to the task – we hope they will and will be sure to detail them in an upcoming review – but in and amongst the hammer blows will be a host of jokes and fun. This ain’t called FightNJokes for nothing you know.
Promising 60fps gameplay and a bright and colourful hand-drawn visual style that runs a slight retro route, if you’re up and ready for a new rumble then FightNJokes should certainly be one to consider.
You’ll find it readily available on the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. We don’t always have to be so serious, you know.
