About FrightShow Fighter
Have you ever seen a giant rabbit shoot lasers from its eyes or a 1-eyed lumberjack tossing "Bite Bears" from his bookbag? That's just a small taste of the odd and unusual sights you'll see in FrightShow Fighter.
This is a fighting game like no other. There are 10 characters to choose from. Each has their own unique abilities, theme music, and bizarre levels!
At its heart, Frightshow Fighter has the feel of the fighting game classics, but with a fever dream twist that leaves you excited for more!
The FrightShow was never meant to be anything but entertaining. Every Thursday night at an old local theater you could come see the wonderful and amazing; the bizarre and obscure. However, this all went awry one night when a cloaked warlock came to see the show. During the final act, the warlock, known as Xonolox, performed an evil spell that was meant to steal the eyes of the entire audience. But the spell was too powerful, he couldn't control it! It backfired, ripped through space and time, and created a multi-layered universe that left the performers of the FrightShow taking the side of good or evil.
Now trapped in the FrightVerse, where anything is possible, these FrightShow Fighters must do battle in hopes of finding a way out, and back to the normalcy they once knew. The fighters must do all they can to defeat whomever chooses to go into battle against them. Now YOU must prepare for FrightShow Fighter!

[h2]FrightShow is really a frightening, imperfect, painful to play indie game.[/h2] The theme has a nightmare before Xmas/Clay Fighter vibe going for it, which was enough to get me to try it. I only waited five years to play it. There are sooo many issues to be discovered while playing this game. Fun! The achievements are bugged or at least some are. After my very first fight the game simultaneously unlocked seven achievements some of which shouldn't have popped after one fight. I'm looking at you, Mega Frighter! The difficulty of the game is laughably easy. Playing on easy is like punching a training dummy. Normal mode is just fighting against a hopeless opponent that jumps and sometimes fights back. As for hard, well it's certainly not hard at all. The AI makes no sense. When I get the opponent's health down to around less than three hits, he just ducks and cowers in the corner waiting for me to end the misery. I guess this would be a good time to perform a special move that I quite haven't figured out. The Cyclops, Krumble Jack is the most awkward character to play. He's just so stiff and has the worst animations of all the characters. Fullscreen mode is sooo lovely to play …4 found this helpful
Listen, this game is jank. There's no denying that. Not every game is meant to be a perfect game with fantastic mechanics. Some games exist simply because somebody wanted it to exist, and let me tell you, i'm glad this game exists! Each character has their own little charm, with a fun little style that is reminiscent of Tim Burton mish-mashed with Psychonauts. The overall gameplay ideas are easy enough to work with, and the item system allows for players to build around their own styles! It's jank, but it's got spunk!1 found this helpful
its a good fun game good for short fun loved the visuals the combat could be a bit improved kinda wonky but overall i had fun playing it loved the characters especially faceless also the difficulty could use a little work im pretty bad at games and could beat it on the hardest mode
Pure Fun! great simple quick battles. Unique characters, unique art style .. A Good Game!
I love this game reminds me of Tim Burtons stuff I grew up with when I was a kid I Like the monster fighters very weird my favorite is the zombie been always a fan of zombies and anything with many teeth or eyes creepy in a very cute strange way very simple and fun. I was always a fan of Halloween as a holiday and haunting and strange stuff there's also hints of Eldritch weirdness in game I love the soundtrack as well I have it on my mp3.
The art work is amazing. It's cute, it's scary, it's fun.
