From the creators of Sonic Smackdown: ArcForged, comes Head 2 Head, A simple 2D fighter collectathon where you collect tons of heads to mix and match to create various playstyles. The game has a very unique concept and execution, which I will further elaborate into this review. Gameplay: 4/10 The combat itself feels very off-putting. As someone who is extremely used to motion inputs, manually dashing, air-dashing and using 4 attack buttons, this game feels so awkward for me. And before you comment, this isn't a skill issue, it's a design choice I can't get behind. The game controls as follows: You can dash left and right by pressing said directions once. This can be done both on the ground and in the air. While sparring a very easy to grasp control layout, you also have access to 5 attack buttons: Strike (X/Square), Jump (Y/Triangle), Anti-Air (B/Circle), Projectile (A/X) and Skull (RB/R1). Pressing Skull twice results in a super, and pressing it once with a corresponding attack butt...

Dash cancels and jump cancels allow you to extend your combos and really express yourself as a player!
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!

new review to match the new version easy to learn, hard to master gameplay, great music and a color scheme that's easy to look at it's really fun to play around with, i recommend
I... wasn't expecting this? When a friend of mine reccomended me Sonic Smackdown I went for a little digging of the team behind this fan game. Turns out they were working on other projects, including this funky-looking one called Head 2 Head. I really liked Sonic Smackdown, so I went and bought Head 2 Head afterwards. I mean, 5 bucks for an indie fighting game, I'm going to play a few rounds than never touch it again right? Boy was I wrong. The pure core gameplay of Head 2 Head is the most fun I ever had with a game in years. I am genuinly shocked at how good this game actually is. And there is only local play and survival game modes at the moment! Fantastic soundtrack, a bold artstyle that just works... ArcForged you have all my respect (and my money), go crazy with this and all your future projects I love what you do.
its really early but id say keep a eye out as it develops or buy it so you can follow its growth. the only thing that bugs me is no moving without dashing and jump is a natural forward jump which i need to get used too
I AM THE FASTEST Also this game is really fun so you should buy it. Combos feel really good and the game allows for lots of creativity. The music is also great especially once you get farther into survival mode.
I am currently having fun with this game! I also love the legendaries being based on other games I love how they also included a head from arcus chroma! I Can't wait for this game to grow, I just wish i can do versus against the AI and pick the head and body for the bots because I kinda bought the game for that, but Survival is fun. This game does get boring doing survival over and over because of the quick difficulty spike so I cant wait for Versus mode options especially like turning off the timer or making it one round or disabling head stat bonuses for fairness in Versus. In conclusion this game has lots of purpose to be a very awesome fighting game that me and other people will play for lots of time, I just think this game is too early in development for me to play everyday so I play this game every now and then until the next monthly update comes.
This game is fantastic it is honestly one of my favorite fighting games there are 2 movement options with 4 buttons each with 6 variations I recommend using a controller but the keyboard is still cool purchase the game as soon as possible. (edit the game is now free)
It's fire!
please let me pay more for this game. I would love for the music to be on Spotify, and the artwork is amazing too. please get this game.
Head 2 Head easily has some of the most satisfying controls for simplified fighters around. The combo system is very expansive, and its fun to explore what you can do with the current moveset. Add the fact It'll have rollback in the future, and its an easy recommendation
