We’re only a week into 2022, but I’m extremely happy to be starting my year off with a game as fun and well put together as Fights in Tight Spaces. Though it occasionally feels like a bit of a grind, the focused gameplay and pleasing visual style make this a great game for players to come back to over and over.
A fantastic blend of turn based strategy, deck builder and roguelike games, Fights In Tight Spaces belongs among the best these genres has to offer. With a minimalistic art style that underpins a vast tactical depth, FITS is accessible, deeply engrossing and is one of the most slickly designed games I’ve played in 2021. An easy recommendation.
If you like turn based grid tactics games this is a no brainer. Well polished and balanced, replayability is off the scale especially with the daily challenges. No teammates to count on, just you against a small room full of bad guys.
Very good surprise for this card / combat / rogue like game. The goal is simple, defeat enemies with our card game, paying attention to the constraints of the environment and the characteristics of the enemies. The game is addictive, we unlock cards, we optimize our deck over time, then we take a break and start again!
Fights in Tight Spaces is an easy recommendation to any kind of gamer. It’s perfect for those new to deck-builders or for genre veterans who crave something with a different flair. Fighting game enthusiasts will enjoy the take on strategic brawls that don’t skimp on the style. As for everyone else? Who can say no to glorious aesthetics and surprisingly cerebral gameplay in a bloody beatdown package? Definitely give Fights in Tight Spaces a shot — it’s a knockout!
Fights in Tight Spaces is one of my favourite strategy games of the year. The compelling blend of action movie sensibilities and big-brain strategic overtures means I’m struggling to put it down, and if you’re a fan of Slay The Spire or Monster Train, this is every bit as bruising a strategy game, and easily as replayable.
Fights in Tight Spaces will not be for everyone as it demands patience and expects players to fail early and often. However, it has charm to spare, the fights are satisfyingly visceral, and it’s quick to pick up and play… although difficult to master.
Excellent and refreshing surprise, easily the best rogue like of the year (looking at you roguelords and driftlands).
Blends Slay the Spire (deckbuilder/path choice) and Into the Breach (positionning and tactics), and manages to make its own original game that feels/plays like neither of its models, while being just as fun and addictive. Be warned : this game is a time sink. It's hard to let go of it even though runs can be really short.
The graphic style is simple yet very effective and stylish.
The mechanics aren't really intuitive, but once you get them, you realize the depths of the possibilities this game has to offer (a LOT of different, balanced, and well thought out cards).
The different decks add to the already near infinite replayability, and feel really different from one another.
A must play for any fan of tactical roguelikes and quite possibly one of the best games of the year.
Truly a gem in the roguelike catalogue, what an excellent surprise for a game that came out of nowhere !
Fights in Tight Spaces es un buen juego de cartas. La parte de exploración y elección de eventos y eso clásico de este género es floja, ciertamente, pero el combate está bastante bien hecho. Por un lado tienes tus cartas con sus distintas acciones y demás, que mejoras y eliges como en cualquier juego del género. Pero más allá importa mucho el posicionamiento y el espacio, donde cómo nos movemos y cómo actuamos marca la diferencia entre ganar un combate o morir. El problema es que, con un único personaje, aunque hay distintos tipos de cartas y distintas barajas iniciales, la realidad es que acaba dando un poco una sensación repetitiva, algo agravado porque los enemigos tampoco son tan variados como en otros juegos. Y la historia es una excusa tonta en algún momento y ya. Gráficamente el juego tiene una estética propia, pero se debe a una pobreza de recursos en este sentido que queda parcialmente disimulada pero solo en parte, y acaba siendo muy aburrida. El sonido también es tirando a **** resultado es un juego entretenido, pero aunque al principio resulta muy innovador con su particular estilo y mecánicas, acaba haciéndose algo repetitivo. Un 6.
SummaryA stylish blend of deck-building, turn-based tactics, and thrilling animated fight sequences in classic action-movie settings.
