Strike Back is a simple 2D ground-based fighting game geared for both new and experienced players. No jumping, no throws, and no crouching - just striking. While the game controls and mechanics are simple, Strike Back is designed around distilling the fun of the fighting game genre where spacing, tempo, and whiff punishing are keys to victory! Featuring the G.R.I.T system, players must balance defensive resources or face burnout! Players in burnout are unable to defend themselves - leaving them in a vulnerable position. Strike Back blends the complexities of fighting game system mechanics into a neat, simple package for everyone!
