Fantasy Strike

Fantasy Strike is a fighting game set in a vibrant world where fantasy meets martial arts. You choose from characters including an archer with fiery arrows, a colorful painter and a martial arts master who can transform into a dragon. All characters are available to play online without grinding or unlocks.

Combat and controls

Moves use a single button press, combos are easy and move lists are concise. The game focuses on fighting-game decision-making, including mixups, rushdown, zoning and grapplers. Throws can be escaped by letting go of all controls, which automatically counters a normal throw attempt.
