The briefing

About this game

K-1: The Arena Fighters is a kickboxing game featuring eight real-world K-1 fighters. Matches take place in a boxing ring, where competitors use high and low punches, kicks, and individual signature moves.

Game Modes

  • 1 Player: Face the game's fighters in single-player action.
  • 2 Player VS.: Battle against another player.
  • Tournament: Compete using all eight fighters.
  • Team Battle: Two teams of three fighters face off in one-on-one matches. The first team to win two of the three bouts takes the battle.

Combat System

Each fighter has strength and stamina meters. Repeated punches and kicks reduce the power behind subsequent attacks, rewarding careful timing. Well-placed strikes can also trigger a flash knockdown that immediately sends an opponent to the canvas.
