Fighting games have been around for a long time but never go out of style. The back-and-forth combos and moves feel just like watching epic fight scenes in action movies, giving a unique thrill you won’t find in any other genre. If you’re into fighting games, check out our top 10 best fighting games on Steam.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Dragon Ball FighterZ probably needs no introduction. This anime fighting game is insanely intense and was developed by Arc System Works, a studio with tons of experience in fighting games. Like Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, it features 2.5D graphics but shines with a huge roster of characters from the Dragon Ball anime series.
Beyond flashy combos and jaw-dropping visual effects, Dragon Ball FighterZ boasts a strong netcode and a massive player base, making it easy and quick to find online opponents.
Rivals Of Aether
Rivals Of Aether draws inspiration from Nintendo’s legendary Super Smash Bros. series but adds its own unique twists. It features characters from other games like Shovel Knight and Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest, giving the battles a diverse and fresh feel.
Since Smash Bros. is exclusive to Nintendo consoles, Rivals Of Aether is the perfect alternative for PC players on Steam. The online mode is well-optimized, ensuring smooth fights with minimal lag.
Skullgirls
Skullgirls is a 2D fighting game with hand-drawn cartoon-style graphics and jazz-inspired vibes that give it a unique flair. Unlike most fighters where you pick one or more characters to form a team, Skullgirls lets you choose between 1 to 3 characters and split your health bar among them, allowing for personalized playstyles.
The online mode is solid, and while the fanbase isn’t huge, it’s very loyal. Even after nearly a decade, Skullgirls keeps getting new content and characters, with more updates promised.
Tekken 7
If you’re a fan of 3D fighters, Tekken 7 is a must-play. It’s the latest installment in the legendary Tekken series, featuring a huge roster and a massive fanbase. Thanks to lessons learned from previous games and better hardware support, Tekken 7 offers some of the best 3D fighting gameplay ever.
Tekken 7 also spices things up by adding fighters from other franchises like Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, Final Fantasy XV, and The Walking Dead. These special guests come with unique controls and moves, making the game even more exciting.
Guilty Gear Strive
Released in June 2021, Guilty Gear Strive brings fresh energy with its 2.5D camera angles and stunning visuals. It has a large fanbase and stable online play. The gameplay is easy to pick up but mastering the combos takes dedication.
Many praise Guilty Gear Strive for its gorgeous graphics. While the roster isn’t huge yet, the developers have promised DLC packs to add more characters soon.
