Beat'em up without any gameplay. The moves are limited, animation frames are in scarce. The fights occur on a single screen what makes the feeling of being squashed without any possibility to plan your moves. Wasted effort with nothing that will atract you for longer than 15 minutes. AGA version has better graphics but some cutscenes are redacted.

Wow, what a failure. This was released on PC as well?
So, Brian May did the music? How much they paid him? 10 bucks or what?

Utter waste of time.

The contradiction lies in the fact that the zero gameplay is stood up against rather nice looking graphics.

I find it interesting that so many here dump on this game for being nothing more than a graphics demo, when so many of their "cherished" Amiga games were high on graphics and short on gameplay(The posterchild of this, Shadow of the Beast, comes to mind). This was far more playable than a lot of the crap on Amiga that people hold in high regard.

I think people here are being so harsh on this out of frustration for having their high expectations let down.

Sure it was an overly hyped botched opportunity with seriously flawed gameplay, but you can't honestly say it's so much worse than Way of the Little Dragon (or even Elfmania for that matter). Plus, graphically it's a real treat, which if anything makes it a nice show-piece.

If you would like to see a worst fighting game then check "barravento". Its even worse than this one. 1/10

This was a stinker, but still marginally better than the OCS/ECS version (in the same way having one arm cut off with a rusty saw is better than having two arms cut off with a rusty saw ) -- in that version, not only did it have no gameplay, it also has terrible graphics as apparently whoever reduced the colour depth had never heard of dithering.

I can't believe I actually frickin' BOUGHT this thing.

Very poor gameplay. Like a graphics-demo on 13 disks, at least I had 13 empty disks for the money I spent on it.

One worst games of the 1990s there must be a bloody lanfill site somewhere in the world with all the copys of this dire game.

They even had it in the shops before reviews copys came out looks stunning plays like crap----- if you want stunning looks by myst its a better beat them up than this

Back to the future! A fighting game between droids. Several locations and players to defeat. Cool graphics, 3D sprites with shadows. Too slow on my old A1200, and too much disk swapping (11 maybe, I don't remember). I can only achieve a decent match on my 68030 25MZH A1200, the WHD version of course. This is nothing compared to Body Blows. Go for the latter, it's much more better than this.

No, No, No! What were they thinking! This is just awful, Amiga Power gave this one a real slating and Im siding with them. Probably one of the worst games I have had the misfortune to come across.

All effort was put on graphics and it shows. Too bad that no effort was put to other things AT ALL. Really, REALLY boring game.

This being a being a release from the render-happy early nineties, it's not inexplicable that it's inexcusable that so much storage space is wasted on a game that's so much less entertaining than either "exploding fist" or "international karate".
