a game trying to be realistic and failing. it felt repetitive and
slow.
slow.
This game was heavily marketing the fact that it was the first MMA game to feature female MMA fighters. Sad thing is, it only featured 2 (Felice Herrig and long retired Michele Gutierrez) who can only fight against each other.
Supremacy MMA is an unlicensed MMA game that plays more like a fighting game in a cage rather than an MMA game. No refs, no rules. Only win by knockout or submission. It's not too bad as the controls are easy and the mechanics are simple to grasp compared to other complex fighters. Problem is, combat is stiff and janky and comes off as too simple as you can oftentimes spam punch to win (even though every fighter has a different fighting style). Cuts, blood and bruises show when you continuously pummel your opponent and bones break in a "Blitz The League" injury fashion when you K.O. or submit someone.
As far as the roster goes aside from the 2 female MMA fighters (and no create-a-fighter feature present) the other 15 or so fighters are either real or fictional ones based off real fighters. Music is, well, very loud instrumental death metal from underground bands.
Modes suck. You can play through every fighters' story mode, which is told between fights through hand drawn animated backgrounds and voice acting, but there's no real character interaction or consistent plot and the endings are nothing special. None of the stories are overly long, just a ladder of opponents. There's a tournament mode, your standard versus mode and some confusing fighter progression system... which is about it.
Fight Night Champion released about 5 months before this and while it doesn't have all the bonebreaking knockouts and unlicensed freedom, it does the gritty aesthetic and feel much better.
