Fight'N Rage is the perfect example of how to ruin a moderately decent combat system with absolute incompetent enemy placement that edges on artificial difficulty.

I finished the campaign on hard using the default character and this game's way of providing any semblance of challenge is by ganking you with multiple bosses at once or rather having you go long stretches with barely any health upgrades or items. And to top it off the difficulty curve is also extremely inconsistent because the game is mostly a cakewalk where you basically fight the same three or four variants of the same mobs but as soon as you get to the last two chapters the game increases the enemy density to almost an autistic level where the game simply spams ganks after ganks almost ruining the whole point of the parry mechanic.
As for the presentation, it's ugly. The pixel art is hideous to look at and it meshes in with the background almost way too often. The music is also lame and forgettable.

If there's any reason anyone would ever recommend this incompetent excuse of a beatemup is because of the constant comparison to Streets of Rage 4 while failing to understand what actually makes it a masterpiece and this one a hot pile of steamy garbage
