Top 15 Upcoming Fighting Indie Games of 2024

About Trajes Fatais: the team claims one of the devs of the team took the money and just abandoned the team, leaving the remaining members that did intent to make the game without money to create the game. It's not cancelled as far as i know, but don't look like it will come out any time soon.

yes would rly like to see Blazing Strike get their steam page up so that we can wishlist it XD

A punishing genre - for both developers and players !! For indie developers: The complexity as you say compounded with every new character (balancing!) and finally the extremely brutal reality of online communities of players in fighters being pulled by the top/big games aka "Winner Takes All" (befittingly enough). Shattered - Looks excellent in design style. Imho they really need to make the pixel art frame animations FLOW - as you say some are far from complete in this early build but it's got an interesting premise. First Cut: Samurai Duel - Saw this recently and it looks like a worthy successor to Bushido Blade style: "One Cut! One Life!" style weapon fighting games. Agree my favourite pixel art look so far by a long way! Under Night In-Birth II - The anime presentation with these types of games is always attractive with inventive characters however the style of fighting for me is way too "busy" for me though can see why this style appeals to some. All the others have some excellent features as well in all honesty. However, for 2023, if anyone wants a current indie fighting game that imho is 10/10 in quality then Pocket Bravery is my Indie Game Of The Year for 2023: Statera Studio channel just released their 2023 Colloseum Finals matches if you want a peek at some top-level players playing the game too.

In defense of Coreupt's spelling, this will actually be good for search engines since the proper spelling of "corrupt" could get lost easily being so generic. A purposely misspelled title will actually make it easier to find on Steam and Google, etc.

Great list! Keep ur eyes peeled for when the first-person competitive sword fighting game I'm developing is ready to make the next list

Woolie will be eating good next year

Seeing this reminded me of Hinokakera, an old indie fighting game that was actually developed by a single guy, yet it has fallen into obscurity these days.

Thqnk you for covering Arcus Chroma! I saw some fighting games i didnt know in here aswel so ima be following them 😊

Thanks for covering fighting games.

amazing as a fighting game lover and game dev cant wait day i reveal mine and be added to indie list

Thanks for posting another of these. I'm surprised you gave Blazing Strike the top spot, though it is neat. I'm also mildly disappointed that Dojo Masters didn't appear, since the game does look cool but has no audience. I totally forgot Shattered existed because it was (is?) just on Twitter right now.

fight'n jokes look similiar to the awesome game Super Cosplay War Ultra from 2004

I don't know if you have covered it, but "FrostFire -Battle Frenzy-" is another potential upcomer.

LFG!!! Clemmy boy covering all genres for indie games, W.

2:40 Baloo?! LOL (Talespin - 1990)... Good reference 7:31 Scarecrow? This is a Cangaceiro, it's equivalent to an outlaw cowboy, only from northeastern Brazil. The character doesn't even have the characteristics of a scarecrow (Straw)

Blazing strike looks awesome!!

Wow Clemmy. Did you really forget about Two Strikes?

Lucy Fernandez is a character for Mugen. And also in the mugen mod KOF zillion(?) I forget what it’s called. She even uses the same stance. Must’ve been created by the team.

I'm old enough to remember when Lucy Fernandez was a character for M.U.G.E.N. 😉

7:35 i want to see cosplay of Lucy Fenandez. Looks quite...... compelling to witness.
