Pick it if…

  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Mazin Wars is like

Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.

Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
