HANDS. ELBOWS. KNEES. FEET.01 — THE FIGHTOLD-SCHOOL SOUL / 3D ATTITUDE
QUICK HANDS.
COOL HEAD.
The opening is there.
You just have to see it.
8 Weapons takes the fundamentals of fighting - distance, timing and defence. It turns them into a fast, expressive 3D arcade encounter. Inspired by the easy controls of early home-computer fighters such as International Karate and the first breakthrough 3D fighting game, Virtua Fighter, it has a world and rhythm of its own.
These opponents have habits. Spot the pattern, draw out the weakness and put your combinations together.
CHAIN THE MOMENT.
High, mid, low. Connect your strikes into quick combinations. Block, move and make your opening.
MAKE YOUR CALL.
Spend earned coins on amulets or weapon and speed upgrades. A little strategy outside the ring goes a long way inside it.

What’s with the eight weapons?
Two hands, two elbows, two knees and two feet. The game takes its cue from Muay Thai’s eight limbs, with an arcade interpretation all its own.

8 Weapons is developed by AnimEngine, an independent game studio combining arcade fighting fundamentals, precise animation and distinctive character design.
