Fist Puncher vs The Asskickers
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Fist Puncher revives classic side‑scrolling beat‑em‑ups, putting you in the shoes of Dr. Karate and a quirky roster of 19 characters as they battle the tyrannical Milkman across the streets of San Cruces. With 50 levels, RPG‑lite skill points, and a brand‑new ‘They Live’ challenge mode, the game delivers fast‑paced combat, unlockable moves, and tons of hidden collectibles for solo or 2‑4 player local co‑op play.
The Asskickers is a modern tribute to 2D arcade beat'em ups, starring Alex, Diane and Marcus as they fight through gritty urban jungles. Wrongly accused, the trio battles corrupt elites to teach white‑collar criminals the lost art of asskicking. Featuring classic side‑scroll combat, cooperative play, and a gritty storyline, the game delivers fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash action for fans of old‑school arcade titles.
