Overview
Description

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 side‑scroll beat ’em up blends classic arcade action with intense hack‑and‑slash combat, challenging you to defeat armed thugs, dodge knives and guns, and confront the gang leader in a final showdown. Single‑player only, it delivers fast‑paced, high‑energy fights that capture the spirit of 80s arcade titles.
