Our take on PainFighting
The store presentation gives substantial attention to the humorous tournament setting and character relationships, but the playable structure is described mainly through command inputs, three-character switching, enemy attacks, and boss encounters.
What is PainFighting?
PainFighting is a 2.
5D horizontal arcade fighting game set during a tournament aboard a ship far from Earth. Three competitors—Hyakka, Jihana, and Du Xiaotong—join neighborhood elimination matches to revive an old shopping street. Players can control all three characters and switch between them during play. Each fighter has distinct skills, finishing moves, and a unique special skill. Arrow-key commands activate these abilities. Enemies use varied attacks, including combinations, while bosses have multiple attack methods and finishing skills. The story follows the contestants as they compete for a promotional spot at a travel festival and as their relationships change during the matches. Pixel characters appear in cartoon-style 3D scenes.
