About
Mystical Fighter is a one-of-a-kind Kabuki-themed console-only brawler. Its gameplay is similar to Final Fight but with dashing and screen-clearing stock-based magic attacks.

Trivia
This game is based off of Kabuki, who were medieval Japanese performers that wore colorful and exaggerated costumes and facepaint. This is the only brawler where your death-blow attack is executed exclusively out of a grab.

Mystical Fighter is a solid Final Fight knock-off with a unique-ish Kabuki theme. It has a cool combination tornado throw / death blow attack and an aerial throw but is otherwise very standard. The enemies are weird, memorable, and require somewhat distinct strategies. The graphics are colorful and the music is super catchy.
