Fightback

A tribute to beat'em up classics with a really good control scheme and loads of content to unlock. There are some modes missing, but so far is worth a try.

Despite the annoyingly overt focus on trying to get players to spend money, the core fighting system here is terrific enough to make it recommendable to lovers of old school brawlers.

That's really Fightback in a nutshell. It's a fun game, it's an amusing game, but it never leaves me craving more.

Dull, linear, repetitious and microtransaction-oriented.

Fightback is a game that will let you have some fun, but for only less than ten minutes at a time, and only if your character's stats and gear are up to date

A wonderful game that's battered into submission by an overbearing payment scheme, Fightback has the moves, but it uses them all wrongly.

The game comes first, not the business model. [March 2014, p.85]
