Lugaru HD

A fun little melee combat game reminiscent of Virtua Fighter. Your goal is to get the most points in the least amount of time per level as you violently apprehend the enemies. There is a pretty involved tutorial that you can choose to skip, but is recommended so you can get the movements down. There's actually several different attacks and reverses you can use against them. It's pretty simplistic, though, and is worth maybe an hour of playtime to the non-completionist fighter I got it as a part of a super cheap bundle I bought for a specific game, so it was essentially free.

Very challenging classic. If you like furry animals, you might like this game. If you're the type to play a game until you beat it because its mechanics are flawed but still fun? Then... this is for you. Regardless of difficulty it seems like the enemies just have generally better RNG or at least from what it FEELS like to me. The game is entirely open source so you could go check the source code - see how every hit check is made, etc... potentially a flawed system, but it is incredibly fun. The movement is fluid yet rigid when it needs to be, reminds me of GTA III combat but like if you could jump into space. It's a very fun game to spend a couple hours on trying to beat, regardless of difficulty you will struggle. At the beginning there is a steep learning curve but once you beat the first few levels you'll get an understanding of how to play. After those... you're gonna have to lock in those skills. This game took me a lot of trial and error to beat, 1 hour and 8 minutes on easiest difficulty. I'd 100% recommend picking up this game if you want to support the amazing creator.

janky mess, character died so hard while reversing that his body evaporated as the camera flies up into the sky

Janky controls made this a rather unenjoyable experience. Relies way too much on context-sensitive commands with zero indication of which one will be executed. Want to throw your knife at an enemy? Sure, press Q. Are you just barely outside the range for knife-throwing? Congratulations, you've now dropped your knife, the only weapon on the map, an action any sane person would have zero reason to do. With no UI element telling you if you are even in range, it becomes a guessing game on which will happen. Try to attack when an enemy is just out of range? You get nothing. Try to counter some time just outside the split-second you can do so when an enemy attacks? Dodge roll. Add in the fact that enemies basically always have perfect counter/dodge timing, can reach beyond what their model would imply, and some (wolves) have non-disarmable lethal attacks and you get something that is far more frustrating than fun.

Painfully short. Very fun combat, genuinely the coolest martial arts game ive played, and from 2005??? Super excited to play the sequel and find out what happens to Turner.

This game is trash and the graphics are trash. Play Overgrowth instead.

Oldie but goodie :)) The story-line's interesting enough but the star of the show is of course the combat. It's pretty hard but super satisfying when you get the hang of it. If you're not a new gamer, definitely give this old classic a go, it's awesome :)) [b]8.5/10[/b] Also, the mods for this game on Wolfire's site are like cool little DLCs

when coworkers start dissing Lugaru HD so you lowk air out the whole room This game is a rough journey, but a very fun one. It also is insanely easy to run. My only problem with it is that it's so short.

This developer only puts out half baked unfinished games that are more or less just engine demonstration tools and nothing more. They rely heavily on user generated content and have never finished developing Lugaru or Overgrowth.

better than modern games, i felt like john wick playing this game
