Karate Master 2 Knock Down Blow
Great old-school fighting game with real martial art elements. All though the fun didn’t last long as the game is a bit too short, I can say that I really enjoyed playing it.
In my opinion, for the price of 10€, it should have been longer. I’d also would have liked to see more authentic techniques. Otherwise the RPG elements were nice, some might say that leveling is bit repetitive but I think it was done well. I don’t regret paying 10€ for it, but I’d say because it’s short and I don’t think I’m going to play it through again, it should be more around 5-7€.

(A very good but somewhat grindy fighting game)
============
Review:
Karate Master 2 is a semi-realistic fighting game.
The game has real-life martial arts moves only - no throwing fireballs or jumping 5 meters up in the air. There’s no super powers here - just two guys with their fists and feet.
Graphics-wise it’s like a SNES / PS1 era fighting game, the fighters and arenas look very nice, as does the training mini-games.
I really like the art-style of the game, with one exception - The dialogue portraits. They look quite awful to be honest, but otherwise it strikes a nostalgia vein very well.

THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST GAMES IN THE UNIVERSE!!!
Momkey king vs transforemers is a fighting game where you must choose a character and fight another character. Theres a lot of character in this game to play as. You can choose what character you want to play as and what character you want to battle with. This is such a buetifull game I say its easily one of the top 25 games on steam.

Astro Joust
Update: I have found people to play with, and its honestly one of the most fun games on Steam. Its leaps and bounds better then the shit you see on this place. Its simple but hits right at the core of fun. The after death effects are almost more fun than trying to win. Its incredibly clever and the art is fantastic. I really hope the creator makes wallpapers available, otherwise if you screenshot the game during play it makes an instant wallpaper thats super beautiful.
While I really enjoyed the prior games by Mutant Entertainment, this one isn’t as enjoyable. I didn’t realize it was just local multiplayer until I got the game. Because of that, and lack of people to play with locally, I have been unable to even play the game until I find someone.

Astro Joust is simple and delightful. If you have an opportunity just to play some local multiplayer games, you really can’t go wrong with this. It’s not the most exciting or has super refined systems, but it’s a charming game and all elements of it are polished.

Capcom Arcade Stadium
This collection makes me wish Steam had a “Mixed” option.
Capcom Arcade Stadium is ALMOST a viable alternative to playing these games in MAME / ShmupMAME, but a baffling design oversight compromises one of the biggest reasons to play this over unofficial emulators.
The games play well compared to the Nintendo Switch version. Lost Worlds' analog controls are simulated seamlessly. Built in autofire and button macros make doing special moves in games like Final Fight easier than ever! MOST IMPORTANTLY, there’s barely any input lag at all, COMBINE THAT with one of the nicest frontends I’ve seen in a good long while with LOTS of well-researched throwbacks to Capcom’s history, and you SHOULD have a slam dunk..

i can’t recommend this because capcom is forcing everyone to use censored street fighter 2 roms, a mediocre virtual arcade and no online multiplayer.
the experience this product offers is mediocre compared to other products on steam and created by the community, the other products require some effort to setup but you can achieve a superior experience to arcade stadium. capcom arcade stadium is also mediocre compared to other capcom products on steam.
new retro arcade neon offers better virtual arcade experience, you can get original arcade cabinet artwork, model and vr support. this is what the virtual arcade in capcom arcade stadium should have been.

Fallen City Brawl

I enjoyed the gameplay is simple and casual but most of all the art. It was so cool to feel like you are in an old cartoon. I will keep on playing it to move to the other levels.

Brawler
A classic-style beat em up made by a small team. Impressive! I enjoyed the three heroes and great variety of enemies. They looked realistic; almost like digitized actors. The music was catchy, and stages were fun. The cutscenes with the reporter, hero, and the ending were a nice touch. I felt it could use voices for landing hits, continue, difficulty setting, and maybe free lives, But well done on this indie game.

ROBO OH
ROBO-OH harKs back to the classic days of chiptune music and 16 bit graphics. This game fills out the giant robot fighting game niche i didnt know needed filling. Unique characters like GRANDSKY and MASAMIOH provide not only a refreshing taste of old-school fighters, but leave a lot of room for creativity. Get this game!

Wonderful NES/Famicom style Fighting game. Lovely pixel art, great music.
Many combo routes,even for different characters, are fairly similar. This may be a drawback of sticking to NES/FC
technical limits,but I wish there was more variety there.
Still very fun to explore the combo system, hopefully it gets expanded on in future updates.
