(This review is dedicated to the people who are listed in memory within the games credits, because the game lists off some people from the original release who sadly have passed away at this point. To those people, you have my condolences, prayers and best wishes that go out to your families and friends. God bless ya'll and thanks for the fun game and good laughs) I normally don't start reviews like this. But I just wanted to mention this for clarity A lot of indie game fanatics (myself included) have known about this game for YEARS. LONG before it came to steam. The reason I mention that is this game actually was originally made by a small group of designers,programmers, and artists etc in Italy way back in 1997. So, while the game technically isn't new, it has NEVER been re-released until now. Beforehand I followed it via websites and Youtube videos regarding it. Just keep this tidbit in mind as you further read my review on this one Anyway, enough formalities. onto the actu...

About This Game
In a bid to thwart this comedic catastrophe, a grand tournament assembles the planet's finest fighters, with the ultimate challenge being to confront and defeat the wicked overlord in a climactic showdown.
Select one of ten unique characters, engage in fierce battles against formidable opponents, hone your combat skills, and strive to conquer the planet now under the threat of jestful annihilation. Each character brings their own captivating backstory and motivations to the tournament, and it's your mission to unravel their tales by unlocking secretive characters.
Embracing a retro gaming aesthetic, 'Fight'N'Jokes' faithfully emulates the nostalgic resolution of 320x200 reminiscent of classic MS-DOS games from the '90s.
Gameplay Highlights and Achievements:
- After each triumphant journey through the tournament, you'll square off against the menacing Dark Father and your personal arch-nemesis in a comically bizarre showdown to conclude the character's storyline.
- Every character boasts a special 'Final' move known as 'Dementiality,' where they unleash hilariously absurd maneuvers upon their opponents. Unlock achievements by discovering and executing these unique combinations. A handy indicator at the bottom of the screen displays the correct move, allowing players to memorize or retry until they succeed.
- Uncover the hidden secrets of the game by unlocking four enigmatic characters through exceptional performance or unexpected encounters. These secret characters possess their own captivating storylines and equally amusing Dementiality codes.
In summary, 'Fight'N'Jokes' offers a total of 32 achievements to conquer, including:
- 14 Unique Endings
- 14 Outrageously Funny Dementialities
- 4 Mysterious Secret Characters

First off im really happy to see this game see the light of day and make it onto modern consoles and steam especially since it never made it onto the old 3DS ports years ago. Im really stoked about the fact that this old hidden dos gem is now available to be played easily without dosbox anymore and with rollback on top of it especially. Its a really terrific and simple fighter with some of the most beautiful sprite work and bumpin music you could ask for from a fighting game. The controls are very simple albeit maybe a little awkward for some since its mostly directional inputs but its super easy to pick up and play at all skill level as a result. I think if your a fan of classic 90s fighters and want something with a great sense of humor to it your in for a real treat. I cant recommend this game enough.
Pretty solid retro fighter, now with rollback implemented. The game's pretty broken but it has a lot of heart, and it's pretty cheap too. Unfortunately a bit lacking content wise but I'd still say it's worth the asking price.
Just tried this game for the first time, and it reminds me of an old-school Street Fighter. It's really fun, and I love playing as Judy. I'm still unlocking all her moves, but I’d recommend it if you're looking for something fun and action-packed to kick some butt!
It's a quirky lil game that could use a little more polish (movelists and training mode are super barebones so learning a character is a little harder than it needs to be) but I had a good time booting it up and running matches with friends
"Fight'N'Jokes" is like a blast from the past man, super cool pixel art, love it \m/ it defo brings back all those nostalgic gaming memories hahahha \m/ The combat is easy to grasp but at same time try hard mode and It keeps smashing me, yeah not a super pro here but I love how it is simple yet can get very competitive \m/ heaps of funny jazz going on, defo must play \m/
THIS! > SF6 (too sweaty) > Tekken 8 (im not 35) > Smash (zzz) > Guilty Gear (anime) > Mortal Combat ( poo inputs)
Good!
needs a fix for 2 controller support other than that pretty nice little fighter lol
This game is packed with colorful, quirky characters and loads of funny special moves. The retro graphics and smooth gameplay make it a blast from the past with a comedic twist. If you're into old-school fighting games and love a good laugh, Fight'N'Jokes is definitely worth checking out! Can't wait to see more updates.
