One Finger Death Punch

One Finger Death Punch is a fast-paced simple fighting game. It goes around kung-Fu battles with varying modes and styles. It is a game based on attacking and wrecking. A brawler where you punch left or punch right. Rhythm game-like, but with no rhythm. The actual rhythm comes with the fighting where every click is an actual attack. The player needs to attack when the enemy is in the range of the attack. The ranges change depending on how well you are doing. So if you combo enough the range gets bigger and may let you do a charge move. Weapons give you extra range too. [h1]Story:[/h1] The game basically goes around a solo fighting stickman that battles hundreds of enemies advancing in chronological order. The game is easy to learn and but pretty much challenging to master. Well as a matter of fact the game cannot be mastered since you always are prone to hit one extra button by mistake. You start as a student. After several levels you unlock master levels where it gets harder. After master is completed, you unlock grandmaster where the difficulty is maxed out and the gameplay gets to its extreme. Can you make it from a student all the way to a grandmaster? [h1]Controls:[/h1] Speaking of the control configuration, they are pretty much the simplest ones out there; LMB to attack left, RMB to attack right. That's all of it. [h1]Graphics:[/h1] As an overview of the game's graphics, they are decent for an indie game. What's cool is that some objects in the background can be used to kill opponents. Some opponents are kicked into tables or walls that are in the background and break them. Some killings have cinematics like breaking the skull that happens in slow motion and lets you take a breath from the fight and enjoy the sound of the breaking. [h1]Skills:[/h1] Skills can be acquired by reaching a certain level and playing it. Some skills are cool and important to the fights and some are just there for no important reason. [h1]The enemies:[/h1] First comes the basic ones. The ones that can be one shot. Those ones aren’t a big deal. A simple LMB or RMB and you’re done with them. No matter how many they are and how frequent they come, if all the enemies are like basics, you can ace the battle with a 10/10 health. Second comes the dodgers. Those ones come tricky since in the middle of the fight, you get one that needs to be hit one to the left then ones to the right. It might not be a problem, but with high speed and high frequency of enemies, those ones...

The game revolves entirely around the same two buttons mechanic. You press left click to attack left and right click to attack right. With this simplicity, the experience could have felt a bit one dimensional, but it doesn’t. The game mixes it up with enemies with changing patterns, levels with different objectives (time trials, defending against throwing weapons…), a few unlockable abilities… This keeps things fresh and entertaining. The result is a very addictive game that achieves the “easy to pick up, hard to master” principle, with the first levels being very easy, so the players can adapt to the rhythm and mechanics. That way they can prepare themselves for the later stages, which are challenging to say the least. Visually the game is very ugly. The animations are cool and all, but the backgrounds, menus, and the presentation as a whole is an eyesore.

Fun but difficult fighting game. If you watch the video you see how the gameplay is, not much more about it. You have the main mode you can play on different difficultys and a few survival modes. Highly recommend if you like these kind of games.
