Bought this game on early access and its pretty good for what it is! It honestly might wash the taste of Street Fighter 5 off my tongue and its brimming with potential! Hopefully the devs will polish it further and add more content. Gameplay is fun and feels right at home for FGC veterans that are tired of whatever Capcom's doing with their modern 2d fighters. It doesnt have multiplayer yet! Hopefully they get to work on this immediately! The artstyle is a miss for me, its inspired but its kinda rough. The backgrounds need a bit more work. Animations are alright and easy to read Training mode settings are nonexistent! I hope they add it eventually, an expansive training mode is important for players! The other characters will be added in future updates, with a starting roster of 4 playable characters up to a total of 9. Its a bit sparse since 9 is considered a weak number of characters in modern fg standards, but given its the dev's first fighting game ill give it a pass. Its wo...

About This Game

BAYANI is a fast-paced 1-on-1 indie fighting game that features a simplified 6 button control scheme. It is designed with accessibility in mind as it is meant to be easy to pick-up for newcomers to the fighting game genre. It utilizes one button specials and moves that can easily chain to one another to lower the barrier of entry.
With the help of professionals in the fighting game industry as well as support from the local fighting game community (FGC), it is designed to be competitive with deep and intricate gameplay mechanics suitable for high-level play and mind games. At it's core, BAYANI is an easy to play but difficult to master. By decreasing the skill level for execution, players can focus more on the mind-games and high-level of play needed to master the genre.
FAST-PACED COMBAT
BAYANI features a fast-paced combat system with air dashes, fast movement speed, reversals, reset mechanics, break mechanic, projectiles, grabs, powerful Fatal Strikes and devastating Final Arts to give the players a plethora of options to choose from. Opening up your opponent, baiting out attacks, and managing meter is needed to completely master the game fully.
CONTROLS
Making the game easier to play without taking away its depth and complexity is one of the main goals of BAYANI. By decreasing the execution barrier, players can focus more on the deep mind games and complex mechanic interactions that are present in fighting games. The game can be played using the keyboard, a gamepad, an arcade stick, or whatever controller the player wishes to use. As it uses a simplified 6-button control scheme, players can play with what is most comfortable to them.

User Reviews
Choppy character and background animations, low quality sound effects, poorly-designed UI, and bad voice acting. The character design is a meh for me, I don't find it appealing and has no wow factor. Opening the game makes my ears bleed from the intro which is, I think, isn't necessary to add up to the game. Music isn't really good tbh. I only find the game good from its fighting mechanics but it needs improvement. Still, it's a fine game for people who loves fighting games like this one. Good for arcades, I guess.
Had lots of fun! It is easy to learn. Recommended for FGC enthusiasts especially Filipino FGC people. Still few content but I'm guessing more will be added. There's lots of potential here! EDIT: A bug I noticed was that the game crashes everytime I try to close it. I hope it gets fixed.
BAYANI plays like an inferior version of Blade Arcus, blade arcus itself is hard to recommend so it's hard to do the same for this. Art style is not to my taste and the background feels like it came from a PS2 game like rumble fish. The one thing that i could give applause is the rock-ish soundtrack tho it might not live up to everyone's standards. Controls feels cluncky like what you'd expect from a semi 3D fighter that came from the late 90's. This game has not supported online play at the date of my purchase and doesn't have a proper final boss with you returning to fight characters you've already defeat. Overall this game's production quality is closer to rumble fish than it is to blade arcus so you get what i'm trying to say, it's not that bad but it's yesterday's quality. To my knowledge there will still be future updates for this game so if you're okay with the base idea of this game then proceed, if not better stay away to avoid disappointment.
What is a great way of celebrating the Philippines Independence Day at home? By supporting our Filipino Game developers who developed our very own fighting game inspired by our national heroes! BAYANI - Kanino ka Kakampi? is in early access state but will be updated and expect more iconic Historically inspired characters to play as. Battle on the streets of iconic landmarks in the Philippines. If you are fond of playing 2D fighting games, you will love it. Things I like: -Character Animations are good, Graphics and Art style is great! -Level design/Background are nice to look at. -Sound effects/ soundtracks are LIT! -Movesets are simple yet can have a lot of technical stuff you can do with combos like other well known fighting games. -Game is smooth, optimized on my machine. -Controller support!! Things I noticed: - I understand it would take time but would love to see more characters. In the roster I can see only until Fernando. (Tho I believe and hopeful there will still be...
Edit: Do not buy! This game is abandoned! I refunded but i will wait till final release to try it again. but for now it feels too clunky. I think some of the designs are interesting but the animations need to be improved desperately before this game gets released.
As of now, I'm giving it a negative review. There's a lot of graphical issue at its current form. Still needs a lot of improvement and polishing with the 3D environment and animation... Controls are very responsive though, but it's hard to pull some combo's and cross-up's cause the dash seems a bit off, especially the air dash. The game shows a lot of promise, and I hope it does. Can't wait for the final product.
Support your Indies! Bayani has some serious style. The combo system is varied and offers players tons of tools to express themselves. Overall though,damage is very high,and Touch of death combos are bound to happen. If that isn't a deal breaker definitely check this game out.
Honestly, I'm impressed. While there was a strange issue with the up and down controls being swapped, the game play was pretty good and it felt really good to pull off combos, and the A.I was pretty challenging after a few matches. A definite good first attempt and I am excited for what these guys have in store for this game.
I tried this game out in ESGS 2018 (Esports and Gaming Summit in the Philippines) and in comparison they've definitely improved in terms of graphics and gameplay. Personally I bought the game because i'm a fan of the local fighting game scene and knowing this game was developed locally was a definite plus. If you're thinking long term you should definitely buy the game while its on sale but I recommend waiting a bit more if you expect a fully featured experience. As of now all you have are a couple of characters (about 4 more to be unlocked in the future) and three play stages. You've also got a "versus" mode so you can play with a friend as well as "tutorial" which doesn't really teach you anything but it's more of a training grounds if you want to learn the moves before playing against the AI or someone. The game is in early access so don't expect much but it is currently playable if you want to check it out or to help the devs improve. They are quite responsive (Check out Facebook...
