Fighting games online: boxing, ninjas, swords and street brawls

A fight is a fight, but in each of these games the winner isn't whoever presses most, it's whoever picks the right moment. The collection covers very different kinds of combat: a sports ring, sword platformers, street turf wars and even a duel where you earn each hit by solving a puzzle.

PunchBox 3D is a boxing career: beat opponents, climb the ranking towards the world title belt and train strength, speed, stamina and defence between fights. In Shield and Sword, Swordman works through multi-floor levels full of monsters, and combat is all about alternating sword strikes with the shield at the right time. Full Ninja mixes leaping across skyscraper rooftops with fights against other warriors. In Battle Cubes 3D a lone hero fends off crowds of monsters in a neon city with dozens of weapon types.

There are some unusual fights too. Fighting: A Game for the Mind! turns brawling into maths and logic puzzles, all controlled with a single swipe. In Street Gangster you start at the very bottom, fight off petty thugs and buy influence across city districts. Object 73: Survival Clicker is a clicker where a clone from an underground complex takes on mutants and drones again and again, and in Falling Platform you need to knock your rival off a collapsing stage before you fall yourself.
